Oh healthy eating habits where art thou?

I want to start eating a bit healthier so I feel more alive instead of sleepy all the time. All the diet and health freaks start with recording their eating habits for a week to see where there might be problems and it helps you think before you put stuff in your mouth. Everything that isn't water counts too e.g. sodas, juices, milk,... So I decided to do the same and bug you with it. Let me tell you, the result isn't pretty.

Conclusion:

I start and finish with food rather late.
I don't do breakfast, even when I get up at 8 instead of 11.
It seems that on most days I'm missing a meal too.
I'm not eating all that healthy. :S

It seems that my eating habits might be the problem for my sleepiness. So starting Monday I'll try and do breakfast. And have three meals a day.

After eating way too much tiramisu made by Spikey I have decided to make my own today. After a tutorial by the master himself of course. My collegues will be my guineapigs tomorrow. Muhahaha. :-)
Well, let's hope they enjoy it...

Now, if you'll excuse me I'll go do the ironing until [info]jamaisneutral gets home. Then she can take over while I prepare dinner for our friends tonight. I love to cook, can you tell?

About friends,film and food

Saturday I went to see Shrek 3 with [info]jamaisneutral, Spikey, Ellen, E-freak and his boyfriend.
I don't like or dislike this third part. In my opinion this one is more about oneliners instead of a storyline but hey, it's still funny. And aren't those little ones extremely cute?!
After the film we went to this Cuban themed café as E-freak's BF was in the mood for mojito's. Minth isn't really my cup of tea so I had a delicious piña colada. Yum, pineapple! We got home around three o'clock.

On Sunday [info]jamaisneutral and I had a family (in law) dinner on our to do list. Family dinner and way too much alcohol are like the bestest of friends cause you always see them together. Anyway, I enjoyed my shrimp croquettes and all the fruit and veggies that got dumped on my plate. I even had so much to eat I couldn't finish my delicious coupe fraise. I felt like I could explode at any moment.
That evening we went to Spikey to watch some Battlestar Galactica. He'd made tiramisu and I couldn't resist, so yes I looked like a stranded whale. Fat tummy! :D

Dinner with friends

Pictures! )

A week ago Foxy and I decided to have a monthly dinner date with Spikey and our boy/girlfriends. Wether they liked it or not! :-)
Last night we went to Spikey and taught him how to make lasagna. We made two kinds. One with and one without tomatoes as my stomach and gallbladder are acting up again. I have to say that Foxy was in charge and we were all running around trying to please her. Yes, we were a part of a very professional kitchen. :D
I had loads of fun preparing dinner, as food is one of many passions of mine. I learned a lot as expected when cooking with other foodafficionados.
After eating way too much lasagna accompanied with a glass of white wine we had Spikey's specialty: tiramisu.

tiramisu! )

We were never short of conversation and I had a wonderful evening!


When Foxy and her boyfriend left Spikey, the GF and I watched another episode of Battlestar Galactica. (s02e11) Cliffhanger!!
I really love the series especially Starbuck. :-) And they are highly addictive!! Must see another ep. really soon...
