An open letter to a Parisien friend

Ah Monika.

Ha. Monica. Bet you miss our JAPES.

I write to you via this blog to make you HAPPY cos I know how SAD you are that this blog has not evolved into the medium of Paris-Bonn peace and love friendship you had dreamed of.

I started writing a happy birthday wish on your fbook walley on Saturday but then thought, no, the best present would be a blog from absent blog-friends. But then I forgot. And in so doing, it seems to you that I forgot your birthday. But I didn't you see. I remembered it. And then forgot it.

I'm terribly hungover, and Judith probably is too. You've missed some peachy nights out recently, but then I'm pretty sure you've had some peachy ones in the city of love.

We had a BBQ- at my new PAD. It was great- I'm loving the new house and its occupants. I have a phone again. I have a job. Life is good, if only my girlfriend were here and it would be awesomely awesome.

So...I return to my hangover, I leave you to your desk (we have a holiday today, yum).

I'm glad Paris is working so well for you and HAPPY BIRTHDAY.xxx

Speaking of food

Speaking of food.. I just picked up a warm hot baguette from the baker on the corner and was then offered the BEST hunk of soft goats cheese covered in ash to eat it with when I got home..... UM YUM!!!!

ps Today went great!

pps Speaking of food again, I went to a canteen for lunch and had:

-Quinoa salad with crab and veg

with

-natural yogurt and apricot puree for dessert! How .. Paris.

Sugar-rush...

Steve's Thursday eats

Breakfast: Porridge (banana, honey, raisins, yoghurt)

Snacks: Banana, crackers, rice cakes

Lunch: Pasta w/veggies & tomato & cheese

Snack: Sugary yoghurt, egg, orange, apple, more crackers, mini pretzels

Dinner: More pasta!

Post dinner: Bread & mozarella, yoghurt & raisins, orange

Essentially, boring.

I ate a yoghurt. It had added sugar. It was divine. My body woke up, sniffing blood like a wolf. I got a bit high. It was a harsh reminder of the strength of this sugar addiction- after 30 days of being almost completely refined-sugar free, my bodies reaction made it clear:

I wasn't over it.

I never will be.

There's just 16 days to go.

Next week, I will fail the challenge.

It's my birthday. There will be a cake. I will eat it.

I'm going to Paris. There will be sunday morning pastries and good wine. I will eat and drink them.

What song comes into your head when I say "that's just the way it is"?

M.

just for fun...

I think of you when I am away...

A lick of a spoon...

The revelation that Monika won't be with us for the end of Lent is a hard one to take.

No joint celebration.

No last few days of excitement.

No final gorge.

We will miss her presence at the cake and beer party I'm planning...

While she was fancying herself in the capital of love, Steve here was being selfless.

Right now, steaming away in the oven, is a delicious lemon drizzle cake.

I made it.

It's not for me, but a thankyou to the kind souls who've put up with me living with them for the past month.

I must admit, I licked the spoon of the creamy lemony raw eggy sugary mixture. Twice. It was darn good.

That reminded me of what I was missing. But for even more of a reminder, at the traffic lights today I caught sight of a woman, glancing ever so briefly at her boyfriend, while tucking into some sort of sweet pastry delight. She looked at him and made that eye-rolling, oh-my-god-this-is -delicious-I-might-actually-orgasm kind of face. The kind of face that can only come from eating such a sweet delight.

It made me realise how long its been since I made such a face.

Roll on 24th April.

Steve's Sunday eats...

This doesn't appear like much for a Steven appetite. But I got out of bed at 1pm. So really it's just half a days eating... Dylan and I went for a nice cycle down the Rhine. Only it rained all the way, and I don't have mudguards. My stuff is covered in mud.

Porridge w/ apple, banana, raisin, yoghurt, honey

Lots of raisins

3 slices of bread & tahini, 2 crackers

Pasta w/tomato & feta & spinach & onion & courgette & raisins & sunflower seeds & lettuce

Yoghurt and raisins and honey. Of course.

On reflection, today was a raisin day.

Paris pass

I just wanted to tell you a little story..

I was out for a walk with my brother this morning* to buy a gift for a friend. I had the idea of a nice box of macarons (a very yummy, tasty, mmmmm of a French treat. My brother suggested we get one each for ourselves, dessert after lunch... What did I do?.....

I bought one for him and said I'd PASS because I can't!! I'm on lent and my colleagues would not be happy.

He laughed and later enjoyed his salty caramel macaron (only my favorite flavor!!. No biggie).


*my brother emailed me last night saying he got a random flight deal to Paris and he'd be arriving in the morning! Crazy. So we reunited. Hadn't seen him in years.

Lots of love from the city of luuuurve.

M.

Moni's Wednesday eats

off to PAris tomorrow to start the big move!!

Bananas.com

My sugar-less diet and intensive running training schedule is having a number of effects:

1- I feel full of beans

2- I am a really very boring person.

As my colleague commented today: "So you're basically giving up fun?"

I feel myself turning German.

I run Km reps at the same exact pace, having mapped out a route before on mapmyrun

I plan meals ahead and make lunches in advance.

I refuse alcohol and cake, and feel like a social reject as a result.

On this sad, cautionary note, here's today's eats. Today I went for a run and a swim so have been justifiably STARVING. Tonight I roasted sweet potato chips for lunch tomorrow. Yum.

Brekkie: You guessed it, porridge with all the trimmings: raisins, 1/2 banana, honey, quark

Snack: Banana, orange, 2 rice crackers

Lunch: filled pasta, feta, salad, sweetcorn, sun dried tomatoes

Snack: Egg, yoghurt & honey, banana, apple, 2 crackers, 1 rice cracker, whole dried banana, pretzel

Dinner: Risotto with courgette, onion, broccoli, lentils & cheese

3.5 bananas. Today was a banana day.

just for fun...

Tuesday eats

First, dinner Monday night:

I started cooking a lovely mix of mushrooms, onion, garlic, seitan with quinoa for dinner when... I was invited out to dinner. And so I ended up having yummy Japanese
-wakame salad
-udon with prawn and veg
-green tea


Breakie today:
- one apple, one rice cake, one half dried banana

Steven was so generous to share his dried bananas with us... though we were all skeptical* they were well enjoyed.

*skeptical because they look like this..

and most loved by creatures like this...

FYI this is a Degu... little rodent of a thing... I once had three as pets :)

Moving along... lunch will be:

- a lovely mix of mushrooms, onion, garlic, seitan with quinoa. Yum.

Snacks:

-some sourdough rye bread

-grapefruit

-espresso

Toodoolooooo.

M.



back to reality..

So I forgot about blogging for a little while.. sorry folks... sorry to our lonesome follower?

My weekend was lovely, spening lots of time enjoying the weather, going for a few runs, reading.. and a night of dancing thrown in.

Monday eats:

Breakie
-espresso
-pretzel (thanks to Judith who arrives with carbs in hand! yes.)

Snack
-Grapefruit

-hutenkase

... I grazed... didnt have a proper lunch today..

The lowlight of Thursday was mistakenley drinking a mouthful of what I though was water, and what turned out to be clear vinegar, essig in german. Why there was a water-jug next to the salad full of this stuff, I don't know. I swear the cashier at the canteen saw me pour it and said nothing. Its strong acid taste left me feeling quite ill for most of the day.

Thursday's eats need a bit of explanation....

Porridge (you know it by now..yoghurt, raisins, honey & 1/2 banana)

apple

rice cake

weird stodgy pea soup/stew stuff

selection of oily vegetables: mushrooms, aubergine, pepper, artichoke, olive, prawns.

Quark WITH SMALL CHOCOLATE SHAVINGS**

Banana

Rice cake

Apple juice x 2 glasses (Sugar warning)***

Pretzel

Filled pasta

Orange

** So I was in a canteen, I wasn't paying, & I really fancied quark. It had chocolate shavings on top. I figured I would take off the top layer of chocolate, and eat the guilt-free quark below. Little did I know, as I returned to my seat next to the regional directors of ICLEI, that the chocolate shavings were THROUGHOUT the quark, all the way to the bottom. There weren't many, but this was definitely chocolate. Yet to have got a dessert and then not eaten it would have been rude, I told myself. I ate it.

*** I've discovered its very difficult to be social in an evening when you've given up alcohol and are trying to avoid sugars. What do you drink in a bar? I have found no solution, apart from when non-alcoholic beer is available. Two apple juices later, and my sugar intake for today is seriously higher than normal.

Tonight, Leipzig music festival "Honky Tonk"

Non alcoholic beer for me....

just for fun...

You are what you eat..

Thursday eats

Steven returns...

Firstly, big up cagan, our first follower, you are mad.

I have just returned to the land of the living from the reclusive joy of a weekend with my girlfriend, and I can confirm that I did not sway from the ship of sugar free sailing, IF we clear up some definitional issues first.

On the room in my wall, a poster states my lent commitments. The food related ones read:

No...

Sweets

Chocolate

Pastry

Cakes

Alcohol

On all fronts, I have not succumbed.

However, the philosophical question remains: Does a waffle count as a pastry? And does a sweet smoothie non-alcoholic cocktail count as a sugar infested infidelity against the spirit of the game?

Definitional issue 1: At the cocktail bar Mojito's, I had the dilemma: sugar or alcohol. I opted for sugar in the form of a delicious Mango Kiss. Which isn't even on my list of non-eats.

Steven's honesty and virtue rating: Remains at 10.

Definitional issue 2: At brunch today (my virginal Germany brunch experience) I ate a waffle. By its very nature, savoury (flour, butter, maybe milk). With quark and fruit on top, it remains healthy, non-refined sugar free. But is it nonetheless a "pastry"?

Steven's honesty and virtue rating: Slips to 9, confusion rife.

My Sunday eats:

Massive brunch (with more meat than I've eaten since Christmas- a substitution technique?)

Cornflakes & milk, an egg, scrambled egg, 6 small sausages, aubergine, tomato, mushroom, bread roll, salmon, cheese, parma ham, waffle, fruit & quark, mountains of quark and fruit.

Then later...

More quark and fruit, followed by yoghurt and fruit (The quark ran out. OK, I have a problem), slice of bread and houmous.

Onwards and upwards. Swimming at 7am tomorrow.

I've said that before. It's never happened.

(Picture: I googled German brunch, and this appeared: A german farmer. Enjoy).

Sunday eats

Saturday I forget... sushi for dinner though! yum

Sunday, the sun is shining! woop!

Breakfast
-one apple
-raison and spice roll/stick from the best boulangerie

snack
-coconut yogurt

Lunch with an old friend!
-salade chèvre chaud
-one glass white wine (sugar is my only enemy)

Dinner
-tomato, cheese, wholegrain baguette

dessert
-orange

-green/peppermint tea to sooth a bit of sickness.. boo *sneeze*

Wondering how our good ol friend steven is doing with temptation to the max! Did you get through it or not?!!

See you kids soon.

M.

Friday eats

Hmmm I packed my running shoes and the day I have planned to run it rains! bummmer. I went shopping instead :)

-cabbage soup and baguette
-sparkling water

snack

Noticing my bread intake is WAY higher than usual, need to deal with that.

Keep it real.
M from Paris

Moni`s Thursday eats

I forget.

But it had something to do with baguette, cheese and yogurt... and lots of sparkling water


I do however remember I saw an interesting indi film, it was Korean (in keeping with the theme of my work and why I am in Paris) with french subtitles of course, called `Ha, ha, ha` .. it was good!

ps. OH! I see we have a follower?!! sweeeet welcome to our world.

M.

Thirsty Thursday

Staring to regain more and more energy!

While documenting my daily food intake it becomes surprisingly obvious what a creature of habit I am. Well or another way of looking at it: why change a winning recipe?

So here it goes:

Breakfast:

Yoghurt with kiwi, oats and linseed

Lunch

Big salad, 1 avocado and veggie spread roll

Supper

Roasted potatoes, herb quark and roasted beans

Yoghurt

Snack:

1 apple, 2 crisp bread, 3 apricots

Exercise: after a rather frustrating day at work I thought I’d let off some steam and caned a 25min run in the park followed by a 25min strength workout. Knackered but happy I tugged into dinner (kindly sponsored by da 3^rd floor home crew!) and did some sofa & telly fudging, working out my big thumb for the rest of the evening.

Can’t wait to do this again:

Wednesday - 1 week in!!

Woke up bright and early even before the ALARM CLOCK!
Starting to feel the grip of the sugar man loosening its hold on me!
Managed to watch telly with a huge (1kg originally) bag of gummibärs and not even be tempted!



Breakfast:
Yogurt with oats and flax seeds

Lunch:

Huge bowl of salad (greens, cucumber, tomatoes, sweet pepper & Feta)
1 Football roll with Avocado and Veggie spread (kindly sponsored by the lovely Luciana)
1 Orange

Snacks:
4 dried nectarines
1 Yoghurt with Sanddorn

Dinner:
No idea!


1st week summary:
-Giving up alcohol and the vere rare accational fag (easy-peasy!)
-Giving up coffee (I usally have 3 cups a day) is tough and I miss the taste and its seditative effect on my.
So far none of the replacements (Caro/barley coffee or chai) is coming even close!
-Giving us my sweeeets (Haribo's stocks plunged when they heard I was going on lent!) is by far the TOUGHTEST of all!


But I can start feeling the benefits of more excercise and this new diet!

Steven: stay strong and dont let the crew down!
Monica: Bon voyage! And be goooood!

Glad I dont like meringue

UM... just came across this blog post... click HERE if you like meringue and want to feel sorry for yourself...

A weekend of temptation awaits...

Today has been a good day.

Mostly because I ate loads of quark with honey.

Its raw honey- non pasteurized and therefore containing all the good stuff including bits of bee. Apparently.

Bee bits.

Yum.

Todays crazily interesting food log for you to salivate over...

Breakfast: Porridge with honey, raisins, yoghurt & banana

Snack: Banana, 3 rice cakes, 1 cracker, 1 apple

Lunch: Gnocchi with courgette, carrot, cabbage, tomato and cheese

Snack: Lots of quark & honey, bread & an egg, bread & cheese, orange

Dinner: More gnocchi.

Tonight I will swim grrrr...

This weekend will be a real test. My girlfriends visiting (yay!), & I have to admit much of our relationship revolves around food: buying it, looking at it, baking it, eating it, finishing it all.

And most of the time that's bread/pastry related. If anyone could tempt me into breaking Lent, its her. And she just wrote me a message: "tomorrow, i'm going to crack you like the supportive girlfriend i am..."

It's not looking good.

Moni's Wednesday eats

Last nighsts dinner
-salad (tomoato, ruccola, olives)
-fresh buns and some nice french goats cheese

Dinner...

I have been banned from any breach of this 'lent and cutting out sugar' mission of ours (freaks in the corner office)... which means no traditional sunday morning pastry from my favorite boulangerie in Paris this weekend! BOO

NO.. its okay because every other time ive been in Paris I have naturally eaten 5 more pastries than I should have. So I can accept the restriction this time... this time only.

What Ill be missing appreciating I have tasted before (see below)...

YAH. beautiful, tasty macaroons!

Thats the Sunday morning pastry im talking about (photo: Christmas morning Paris 2009)

On a better note at lease I will be able to enjoy some things! like....

Baguette!! and...

Coffee!!! (unlike Judith! hehe) and...

Cheeeeese!! YUM.

Bon weekend a tout!

M.



Healthy it may be, fun it is not

I'm not yet over the initial cold turkey. Maybe that's because I still eat jam for breakfast: pure, unadulterated refined sugar and glucose-fructuose syrup. "Jam is the worst...faaar out" Monika chirps.

Thanks for your contribution.

It's my one moment of light in an otherwise droll day spent obsessively ruminating about food.

Highlight of the day: Staying strong and not eating Alice's DELICIOUS looking chocolate cake.

Lowlight of the day: Eating leftover rice instead.

Breakfast: Muesli & milk, 2 slices of rye bread, 1 w/jam, 1 w/honey

Mid morning snack: 1/2 banana

Lunch: Large slice veggie lasagne, Hunk of white bread, Orange, 3 rice crackers

Afternoon snack: Small apple, 2 x sesame crackers, 8 (approx) mini pretzels, egg, rice w/cheese

Dinner...as yet unknown...tune in tomorrow...

Pudding: Apple, quark, raisins, honey

Exercise: Short run

Food fact of the day: Did you know that Rewa Bio ricecrackers contain 6.2g of carbohydrate..none of which sugars?!!!

Answer: I could have guessed.

Recipe of the day: Roasted Mediterranean Vegetable Lasagne

By the UK's most famous TV chef, seen here cooking innocently

And here appearing drunk at Norwich football club.

Quintessential English.

Until tomorrow, food lovers.

Steve "sugar on my lips" Bland
