From: Kate XXXXXX on 10 Jul 2008 04:40 Here the strawberries are ripe and plentiful (despite Wimbledon and lots of rain doing their best!), and right now my favourite brakfast is: A handful of local Kent trawberries A good dollop of Yeo Valley Fat Free Probiotic Organic Yoghurt http://www.yeovalleyorganic.co.uk/products.php?product=FatFreeNaturalYogurt(I buy it because it tastes good, not because it bangs all the Hand Knitted Yoghurt Brigade's drums. It also comes vanilla flavoured, which is a great alternative to custard for pouring on puddings) A handful of Lizi's Original Granola http://www.lizis.co.uk/original-granola.htm (the best!) A mixture of fresh dark cherries and nectarines goes down well, too. -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore!

Typically my breakfast here consists of something we call 'platte kaas' in Dutch or 'fromage blanc' in French : a very light and velvety fresh white cheese, close to yoghurt consistency but a bit creamier, to which I add 'Kellog's Special K red berries' or a kind of shredded wheat called Fruit & Fiber here. Most of the times I 'll eat some fresh fruit with that, strawberries, melon, blueberries, kiwi slices etc. On the weekends, when I have a bit more time, it will often be oatmeal to which I add a little cinnamon, and sometimes a teaspoon of 'Lyle's golden syrup' drizzled on it. Hmmmmmm.... Breakfast in Belgium is often sweet, most people here eat bread with either jam or "choco" (a chocolate paste, like Nutella but often pure chocolate without the nuts), or cereals/muesli with milk or yoghurt. I try to limit bread because I either don't like it when it 's industrial white bread, or I eat too much of it when it 's hand made dark bread. cheers, Nathalie -- Nathalie from Belgium 134.1/102.1/minigoal 99/Goal 68 Kg 295.6/225/minigoal 218.3/Goal 150 pounds

Is it still the habit among workmen to get up to coffee and possibly toast, get to work about 7:30 am, and stop at 9:30 or so for breakfast, finishing the working day mid afternoon, so they had more time at home with their kids? I always thought that a very sensible way to work, and could never understand whay shops and offices didn't do it too. These days I tend to get up and make tea, get James out to catch the bus to school at five to eight, and have breakfast later, at about 9-9:30, while dealing with emails and such, so I suppose I have slid into that way of working. I hit the sewing room after breakfast. -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore!

Dinner(supper) is typically very early as well, in workmen's families dinner is on the table at 16:30-17:00! Way too early for me, being of French descent I tend to have supper around 20:30, a more Mediterranean hour as they say... it suits me better! When I come home from work at 19:00 I have a bowl of 0 point soup, or some olives and some cherry tomatoes before starting to work on supper. -- Nathalie from Belgium 134.1/102.1/minigoal 99/Goal 68 Kg 295.6/225/minigoal 218.3/Goal 150 pounds

I used to teach, and 4:00 pm when the kids had gone and I was just settling into the after school meetings/marking/preparation is still my danger time, as that's when we'd dive into the biscuits and chocolate... -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |
