Unhealthy vegetable?

Came across this a long time ago, and snapped a photo of it. I didn't realise people would actually believe this label, until I saw someone writing to the forums about vegetables being high in sodium!

So here's the deal people. 1 serving of veg is NOT 15g. That would be like 1 leaf. And no damn fresh vegetable has 1510mg of sodium per 100g of veg. This would be even higher than the sodium content of instant noodles. This is blatant irresponsible nutrition labelling by fairprice

Chix veggy soup - the nut case healthy version

This is for ya sam. Seeing ur suffering with the dinner salad thingy, decided to post a recipe that involves foods with more edible tastes!

Ingredients:

Chix breast, cut into bite size chucks -100g
Broccoli - any reasonable amount...haha...
Baby asparagus - same
Spinach - same
Fresh shitake (cost ard 1.50 @ giant) - 2-3 caps, sliced thinly
Maggi concentrated chix stock - 1-2 tbsp

Boil around 300 ml of water with the maggi chix stock. Blanch broccoli and asparagus until cooked (turns green all ard). Remove from stock. Add shitake and chix and boil until cooked. Finally, add spinach. Transfer to bowl with brocoli and asparagus and u have a healthy good meal!

(for variation, I add miso to my soup too! But I don't normally drink the soup. Its mainly to flavour the ingredients more than anything!)
Going to enlist tmr. Without a proper fitting pair of long pants...sigh...

And going there without any idea what to expect, coz no one I know is in PES E9 lol.

Sam dude, for ya.

Instead of a diet plan, this is more like a daily schedule actually.

Wake everyday MAX at 6.00am

Coffee + whatever low-cal sugar sub only.

6.30. Jog or walk around the neighbourhood. Min about 1 hr.

7.30. Bath and more coffee.

8.00 200 ml of non-fat youghurt on strawberries (low GI fruit) + Apple with skin ON. Actually, anything that keeps below 200kcal, discounting the fruit, is good.

From now till noon, free time. Hungry? Eat carrot(no cooking, no peeling of skin) or celery or apple! Or drink coke LIGHT! In fact, even if not hungry, also drink coke light or eat carrot. Caffeine raises ya metabolica rate. Carrot and celery are effectively negetive calorie. I think apple shld be too actually, but I'm not sure,cause some apples are so sweet! I was always anal on eating the worst tasting apple...

12-1 Lunch. About 120g chix breast. About 1/2 a head brocolli. 1/2 a zuchinni. Many leafy veg. And asparagus. Actually, any combination of non-starchy veg is cool. They are V hard to digest. Prolly about 250kcal for lunch.

Free time up to dinner. Same routine as btw brekkie and lunch.

6-7 Dinner time! Mushrooms are my prefered food at this time. Or chix breast again. And the same old pile-on-veggy routine. With mushrooms tho, u cld make the total caloric intake about 150 kcal only if ya consider the thermogenic effect of taking in all this veg!

12 Sleep. If ya can last to even later, even better.

Btw, I advise to u indulge greatly on carrots and other vegs considered -ve calorie on this diet. Altho there might be this side effect...ahem..............(ask ryan hahaha)
Why do I fear death so much?

I have looked death in the eye many times and spat at it.

Abeit with a craze stare.

But why is it that I fear death that much?

From sunday to tuesday, horridly weak and sick I was. And whilst recupperating in bed, dreams of various deaths find me. My world crushing around me. Me dying. Me watching everything dying. Me dying mentally, yet seeing a healthful physical body. I could feel the pain in my chest each time I awoke. I felt myself dying from that illusionary experience itself. So real. That fear. It is so real. Why? Moreover, why is it that I can remember myself shivering, can remember the reaction, can know the cause, yet not even remember the exact details of the haunting dreams? Or the exact emotions I felt?

I almost want to experience that mental anguish over again. To understand. Is it truly something I fear deep within me, or just hallucinations brought about by a mind inebriated by pain? But do I dare enter that zone again?

Why the nightmares. Why do I keep having nightmares. Why do I keep dreaming of death and failure?

And It Ends!

Yes, and my life as a HC student effectively ended after 11.20am, 24th November, 2006. This pain and torture finally meets closure. I am not sure what results I will receive, but at least life has finally gone on. Yes, the future awaits.

Coca-Cola Co., U owe us for making ur Coke Light sales so good!













This is prolly the PRIMARY diet of eating disordered folks.

And I'm certainly starting to believe that ED and recovering ED folks make up the largest market for coke light.

Me, for one, have alrdy down this entire 1.5L bottle of coke light , bought this early around 6am, and am starting on my SECOND stash of coke light. And I actually drink this amount of coke light each day. You might guess I'm prolly severely eating disordered now? I mean, who the hell drinks that much coke light a day? I admit I'm not totally recovered, but the last time when this was my primary diet was when air was always a large portion of my diet, and that is years past alrdy. Its the FREAKING addiction which that darned coke light caused that I cannot kick. And although it has been "relegated" to a supplementary component of my daily food/drink intake, it's still an incredible amount.

You owe us for your sales, Coca-Cola Co. Oh yes...

Yesterday's Dinner

Ok, after the inaugural post, this blog settles down to the food proper. Here's my lunch and dinner yesterday, with the recipe for the dinner meal written. No recipe for lunch, coz there's no recipe involved, unless you count dumping pre-made/raw food together a recipe!

Lunch: Pickled herring marinated in akvavit on arugula and cherry tomatoes


I certainly did not pickle the herring myself. Even if I did know how to, I don't know where to find fresh herring! These were bought from Ikea some time ago. They have a respectable selection of pickled herrings there, and most are pretty good. And cheap! I believe its only slightly more than $3.

Dinner: Grilled chicken fillet marinated in paprika with rosemary, with grilled portobello and swiss browns with chives.

Simply marinate chicken with desired amount of paprika ( a lot) and rosemary. I added some tabasco for added heat. Add suitable amount of salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, heat up the grill pan. Slice portobellos and swiss browns into thick slices, and start grilling them with salt and pepper. These are NZ mushrooms from carrefour, rather than the usual Malaysia ones. They certainly taste MUCH better. And they aren't much more expensive either! The portobello were going for $4.90 per pack, compared to the usual $4.50.

When the mushrooms are say 1/3 done, throw the chickies onto the grill pan! And when the mushrooms are close to done, throw in a handfull of chives! Toss around on the pan, and remove onto a plate. The chives adds certain flavour to the dish that I like!

For the chicken, I guess it would take 3 mins each side? I don't really time my cooking...But I guess if I want to start writing recipes, I'll have to start taking note!...In any case, a definitive check for doneness (mine at least, is to wave the chicken about and see if it is limp ( still uncooked) or or starting to harden (about to be cooked).

Serve and eat when everything's done!

Ingredients:

Chicken fillets

Paprika

Rosemary

Tabasco (if ya desire)

Portobello and Swiss brown mushrooms

Chives

Salt and pepper


My Favourite Comfort Food- Ever




The Jollibean Mee Chiang Kueh.

Oh yes. Incredulous as it may sound, I will gladly trade foie gras, truffles, belon oysters and whatever astronomically priced food for this simple unpretentious 80 cents peanut pancake. It just seem to resonate with my so much!

Particularly the ones from Jollibean! Every bite into the "al dente" pancake, oozing fountains of crunchy roasted peanut paste, sends me shivering in ectasy. Alright, I'm exaggerating, but really, their MCK are really incredible! Do note that NOT ALL JOLLIBEAN PANCAKES ARE CREATED EQUAL! Many people aren't fans of their MCK, but that's coz u folks get from the stalls manned by lazy, cheapo (despicable...:P) workers who skimp on both skills and ingredients! I usually get my dose from Lot 1 (magical MCK. Literally gushing out peanut paste) or IMM (the morning Auntie shift is the good one :P) when I go grocery shopping. The MCK featured today is from the branch at Jurong Entertainment center. Been going to the library for revision in the morning recently, and this has featured in a big part of my breakfast! I believe the lady there recognises me now, coz she actually sprang to her feet on seeing me today, seeming to know intrinsicly I will NOT leave JEC without one!

Wake up wake up!

Yes! Hope I'm not jinxing myself, but am prolly gonna get a N73 Nokia phone soon! Yeah, that would make posting my pics onto here much more easier, and therefore making this blog more alive than the SINGLE post it has till now!

I'm prolly gonna turn this into a food blog cum whine blog...lol...My feeble attempt at a food blog (deleted, along with all the pics) some long time ago failed utterly, but then, that was more of a binge blog than food blog really (bad memories, thy gone). Here's hoping this will turn out to be ever lasting and better than ever! *raises wine/whine glass*

Exit Light, Enter Night

Or the other way around. In any case, activate thy blog! Somehow, after 2 tries at making a successful blog on blogger, as I had on ebloggy, I have only been greeted with certain failure! This will prolly be the last try!

Exit Night, Enter Light!
