That's an egg (WAY over cooked! Should have been soft-boiled) toast with butter, designed for dipping, but that was a bust, plus toast with jam, grapefruit, tea and water. I'm hoping all that toast will keep the hunger away longer than yesterday's breakfast.
And lo and behold it worked! Lunch was pasta and broccoli from the hot by-weight food and salady things (um, including tortellini) from the cold salad bar in the refectory. I threw some "lite" Ranch dressing on, but ended up with way too much as it poured out much faster than I was expecting. To get my daily fruit, I also procured a Granny Smith apple and munched that for dessert. Or would have been dessert if there hadn't been two small Dove chocolates on my desk when I got back. So apple and chocolates for dessert.
Dinner was spending three hour making a WWII English recipe for Boston Baked Beans (called Boston Bake). It called for golden syrup, but I used molasses. It didn't turn out like proper Boston (or New England) baked beans except for being close to the colour. Not bad though, so I had a rice bowl full, which followed the remaining bit of vegan chicken salad.

I'm trying to balance how much to eat in the AM too cause I'm getting hungry at 9:30-10 so yesterday I snacked on a yogurt (protein kept me pretty full till lunch)
but my WORST time is 4-6pm I could eat everything ever even if I have eaten too much in the day
Yesterday Walter was like - you are crazy what is wrong and I was like I'm Fing STARVING is what is wrong - and burst into tears - he poured me a 1/2 glass of wine poor thing
by the way - I'm not so great at eggs - I'll have to read how to soft boil one because the brekky you made looks tasty
I was a beast too when I got home, but had to try to keep it in check as Susan was over learning how to manage the BAC website (since her staff aren't doing it). But the hearty dinner really calmed me. That's probably kind of sad, isn't it?
I did the egg this morninr using my Fanny Farmer cookbook, but it's a 1920 version so "move the pan to the back of the range where it won't boil," got improvised to "turn burner to 2." I think that would have worked if I had cut the cooking time in half, or just turned off the burner.
Still, it was a perfectly hard-boiled egg, but no dippy soldiers :(
And isn't the bread cute? That batch hardly rose, so it's like wide-screen cocktail bread.
the bread is super awesome!
I calm down with food too - probably like any other addiction, once you get your fix you are set...
Yes, but you actually NEED food. It's not like you'll die without heroin.
