What are you eating right now ?

Thanks! Just out of interest, where did you come across it?

Best,

Well, whoever it was should not have done so. I know the source of that MIDI and it was made with good reason in the absence of a live performance, but if you can appreciate the piece without even having heard a live performance (and that MIDI has no dynamic inflections or other nuances), I consider myself flattered! It was written for Hamelin who's yet to play it but Ullén might do it at some point.

Best,

I'm sorry, but I noticed that this post has apparently been dismissed. Has no one experienced the complete and utter bliss that is a nice, beautiful, naturally grown/prepared steak? I am no carnivore, and it little meat, but even I make exceptions. . . (The wine, I'm sure, will come w/ time - I have not established a taste for drink yet - can't stand the stuff).

Preferably Aberdeen Angus.  Does anyone raise them anymore?

[Essyne]

We do black angus here.  .  .  . 

erm- i'm eating annie's white cheddar bunnies all-natural snack crackers .  .  .  . well, that's what the box says. I think of them more fondly as "those yummy little bites of bliss that make my hand so cheesy and disgusting that i am forced to type with only mt right hand" 

[m19834]

Happy to see this thread being well fed  .

Anyhoo, I am eating a delicious sprout salad mixed with bites of a carrot and raisin salad.

[Essyne]

Mmm - I am beginning to regret that I ate the bunnies ( ), for my mother is making homemade tortellini with Italian sausage. She made a batch of her tomato sauce today as well, and is canning, canning, canning away!

(I wish that I had not been banished from the kitchen when she's cooking, but, quite regretably, I have been instructed to "do homework," and am (lucky me!) allowed to do dishes! . . . The last time she let me cook anything I burned her garlic bread to a crisp. . . . I guess it's for the best, as I either sit there staring, trying to learn her little "secrets" that never really "click" in my brain, or I simply munch on all of her fabulous concoctions to make sure that they are "done." At least this way the family can eat non-charcoal food, and I will do so in the correct proportions).

Salad.

Red Bull.  Game on.  Let's see what this stuff does.

Tastes a lot like candy actually.  Yes, it has caffeine.  I hope it has enough.  I'm starting to feel it now....Ah.....

[Bob]

Hmmm... I don't know about Red Bull.   Initially it was a buzz.  Relaxing actually because I didn't have to try to be more focused.  That was nice.  Then I drank a second one.  Fine.  That buzz felt a little burnt.  I think it's just the vitamin B and caffeine that does it.  But it was not quite as unpleasant as chugging coffee.  Smoother in the effect.  I was going to ask where to get more.  Maybe I will.  Cheap energy drinks.

However... It's been... an hour, forty minutes, and I'm yawning.  A high followed by the fall.  Which is what I was expecting.  But I was productive there. 

Oh well.  I now working on my third Red Bull. 

It can't really be a solution.  I'm sure I'll pay tomorrow for it.  It's that kind of burn feel.  Not having to try to concentrate is very nice.  Relieving actually, which makes it relaxing.  But this isn't a great solution.  It's probably abusing the body, just cheating in the short term, feeling it even more in the long term.  I can't imagine drinking this stuff everyday.  Who knows how much vitamin B there is and how much caffeine there is in this stuff.  I also feel hotter. 

But I'm getting some stuff done.  And tomorrow I can slack off some.  Two more days and it's the weekend and I can slack off even more.

[Bob]

Red Bull... it puts Bob to sleep.  I don't think I'll buy this stuff again.  I get sleepy an hour after drinking the stuff.


Is there any cheaper energy drinks though?  I'm still up for trying them, although I have an idea about how useful they are.

[pianochick93]

Oh, and some avacado/cucumber sushi.

All hail the Japanese 

Yum!

Yes, hail the Japanese, their language is awesome.

[Bob]

Saltines and tomato juice.  Somewhat tastey and cholestrol free.

[m19834]

I have to say, this is one of the most yummy meals I have ever come up with and I am particularly proud of it, so I just have to post about it here :

Freshly made lentil salad
(Lentils soaked over night and then lightly boiled for and hour and a half -- freshly cut carrot and parsley, walnuts, dried cranberries, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt)

A quarter of hass avocado
A hard boiled brown egg
A dollop of homemade hummus with roasted garlic
half an ezikiel wheat pita bread

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmm

[Essyne]

Radishes. Lots and lots of radishes.

Going on a bit of a binge, as I was watering the garden this morning and realized that we have about a million ripe radishes in it!

Mmmm. . . .

[pianochick93]

I'm eating a white chocolate Lindor ball.

Maybe we should ask the administrator to make a special 'Obesitas Board'!

I ate breakfast before, rather, and said what I had just eaten.  Don't eat literally at the computer.

[Essyne]

Tofu w/ a mushroom sauce on top.

Yes, eating that at 9.46 in the morning.

[Bob]

Bananas... food of PS champions.....

[Bob]

And strawberries, but I don't know what strawberries are.  They're just there I guess.

[Siberian Husky]

snails.

[Bob]

I'm eating nothing.

[pianochick93]

I am eating brown rice with shitake mushrooms, black beans and fresh spinach mixed in, topped with strips of grilled chicken breast, plain, non-fat yogurt, cumin powder and freshly squeezed lime juice.  So, SO good 

[pianochick93]

Half an artichoke, boiled/steamed in herbs and garlic, with no dipping sauce !

And, a small fresh spinach salad w/ sundried tomatoes, a little bit of crumbled feta and goat cheese, and some balsamic vinegar.

Now if there's one thing (there isn't just one, actually!) that inclines me to run for cover it's goat's cheese / milk / butter / cream; I really cannot stand it! - but then it takes all sorts, I guess. I think that I must be allergic to goats, or something...

You do seem to be on a very low-fat diet, if the above examples are anything to go by. For all that I'm keen to prioritise local organic seasonal produce (except for the red and white liquid stuff, very little of which that's worth drinking is produced locally to me!), I fear that my own dietary régime (insofar as I have one at all) is infinitely less virtuous - but then someone did once tell me that I write high-fat, high-cholesterol music (an elegant accusation which I took as the compliment it was almost certainly not intended to be) so to some extent I suppose it goes with the territory (and although I'm not wildly fit, I do seem to check out OK medically - which some people might think is perhaps more than can be said for my music). Hmmm...

Best,

Alistair

Yeah, actually I used to be pretty weary of it.  It definitely has a "different" flavor !  Somewhere along the lines I started to like goat cheese, but I haven't tried any other forms of goat stuff, and I can't say that I completely feel the need to do so either, but who knows ?

Well, for the most part I am, but more than that I am just trying to have a better balance of what I eat each day.  I definitely allow myself a true treat each day ... lately I have been opting for icecream .  Overall though, I really enjoy how I feel when I eat lots of veggies, grains and fruits with some protein each day !

It all has the same horrific taste to me and I simply cannot take it!

Well, I'm pleased and relieved about those treats! - and there are plenty of them from the veggie and even vegan world (which is something that I can say from experioence, even as a devout born-again carnivore). The thought of having no meat or fish at all is about as appalling to me as that of consuming meat and fish daily without exception. I repeat, however, that your diet seems infinitely more virtuous than does mine! Never mind - you'll survive for many years on yours and I'll let you know if I'm still around next month on mine (although, given that remark about my work, I should perhaps check meanwhile the potential arterial furring of the viola part of the piano quintet on which I am currently working)...

Alistair
