So. What do the lovely iamcal'ers eat of an evening. is it healthy? Is it home made?

I shall start, then. Rump Steak, mushrooms, Mashed potato and Mange Toute bean thingy's with gravy. Gently washed down with a Lovely Shiraz. Mmmmmm. And all cooked by my own fair hand for under £5.

(In case you haven't guessed, I am bored, need to do some CAD work, and can't be arsed. Hence the distraction...)

Well, i prepared myself a HUGE bowl of egg fried rice and chicken.
The chicken was already cooked but I prepared the rest myself, and
proceded to eat the whole lot, with chopsticks, and washed it down with
fanta.
So, not REALLY unhealthy, and also home made, also
for much less than 5 GBP (My keyboard is in american mode, long story)

then talk slang, baby. Bangers, squids, beer tokens etc. There are plenty of ways to get round the bad keyboard.

Ive eaten fuck all as I've consumed way too much phlegm today btw :(

Nice, Sul. Really nice image to leave me digesting my dinner with.

Yum.

I had a ham & mushroom pizza (2.89)
a grilled banana as dessert (about 0.14)

both put in the oven by me personally

and Pepsi Max

Er, I had Quorn mince with some sort of curry sauce, mixed vegetables and rice. N.B. Mrs WH is on a diet atm, hence the tasteless pretend mince. Washed down with Lucozade.
Posted by reitsma, 22:23, 18th March 2004:
 
i had some chicken soup, and a french stick with it.

tasty, it was. i paid AU$2.20 for the french stick, and mum gave me the soup, which means i spent 0.901089 GBP for dinner for my fiancee and i.

=D

She must be damp with lust after the lavish spread you have thrown for her. Let's hope you didn't use the same sort of tight arse attitude to the engagement ring, or you won't see her for dust before too long...

;)

Mmmmmm chicken soup :)

Finished Bottle of wine now... decisions... Coffee or Vodka.

Vodka, though good, will not help me finish modelling the Solid Assembly I have to do this evening, and make it look like a Dial Gauge, or indeed work like a Dial Gauge.

Coffee, though good, is not in any way, shape or form, vodka.

*sigh* I hate decisions.

:(
Posted by Perclissigi, 23:21, 18th March 2004:
 
Coffee... seriously, i had a NASTY run in with vodka a few nights ago. Steer clear of it if you have work to do, otherwise you'll end up getting pissed off cus you'll know you should be doing something else.
Posted by donnie, 00:07, 19th March 2004:
 
i had chinese food at the local buffet place, and lots of lager, and a load of sake, which is strange stuff...
Posted by cal, 00:31, 19th March 2004:
 
just had singaporean for lunch, from a great place in vancouver. takeout though - was a working lunch
Posted by reitsma, 01:02, 19th March 2004:
 
brock - she happened to love the meal as well.

not to mention, it was right after i took her out to the movies.

for your information, i also took her out and spoiled her the previous day for her birthday.

...and she loves her ring. Sure, it's only 0.3 carat, or something like that, but that makes it big enough to see, but not so large that she has to take out insurance for it, and worry about it when travelling.

now, onto your next post - if i'm not sure if i want ice cream or chocolate cake for dessert, i know what the obvious solution is. Surely this solution is applicable to you too - it's time for your own version of a black russian.

=D

I had grilled fish and vegetables
Spring water

You guys eat badly. You shouldn't be mixing your carbs and proteins. It makes you crazy.

(Oh hang on, that's me)

Anyway...

BTW warhead, if Mrs warhead wants some help, she can ask me, that's my area of expartayz
Posted by Brock, 11:05, 19th March 2004:
 
Nothing wrong with mixing carbs and proteins. It's called balance.
Posted by Uma, 12:10, 19th March 2004:
 
Not in the same meal. It causes acidity. That's why your girlfriend pulls that funny face when you give her a mouthful.

;)
Posted by WarHead, 12:24, 19th March 2004:
 
I thought that was just for the benefit of the camera.
Posted by Brock, 12:32, 19th March 2004:
 
This started as a completely innocent discussion about food, and it's moved onto blow jobs with absolutely no smut input from me, Abe or arsepuppy.

That's not the normal order of events, is it?
Posted by Uma, 12:36, 19th March 2004:
 
Shows you where your mind is...i meant your acid personality ;)
...but I understand about that
Posted by WarHead, 12:36, 19th March 2004:
 
It is where I come from. But I apologise. I actually know fuck-all about nutrician (sp?), really, except that a lot of fat is BAD. I think I eat pretty healthily, but it's not to a plan, as such.
Posted by Uma, 12:42, 19th March 2004:
 
Not all fat is bad. You need the good fats.
Posted by Brock, 12:43, 19th March 2004:
 
Man fat?
Posted by Uma, 12:45, 19th March 2004:
 
No, the Omegas
Posted by WarHead, 12:49, 19th March 2004:
 
Uma, well done for not rising to the bait on that one. I did know some fats are good, but if you gave me a plate of each I don't think I'd know the difference.

I DO know something about Adipose Brown Fat Tissue though. (For one thing, you wouldn't want to eat any.)
Posted by Uma, 12:58, 19th March 2004:
 
Yuck! You've put me off my fruit. No, not really.

/BOING!

(and it's only cos I don't know what man fat is) hehe heh
Posted by Perclissigi, 12:59, 19th March 2004:
 
Uma is a nutbar.
(Hey sweety)
Posted by Uma, 13:01, 19th March 2004:
 
Hi Perc...I hope it's a fat-free, sugar-free, food-free nutbar!
Posted by Brock, 13:02, 19th March 2004:
 
With great helpings of melons!

sorry! ;)
Posted by Perclissigi, 13:03, 19th March 2004:
 
Well, it's quite fruity...
Posted by WarHead, 13:05, 19th March 2004:
 
Any guava, by any chance?
Posted by Perclissigi, 13:06, 19th March 2004:
 
Yeah, why not. I like the melon idea too... *drifts off into dreamworld*
Posted by jlittle, 13:07, 19th March 2004:
 
I always have home cooked stuff nowdays. Pasta, Baked Potato, that kind of thing.
Posted by Perclissigi, 13:08, 19th March 2004:
 
Speaking of food...
What shall I have for lunch?
Posted by jlittle, 13:09, 19th March 2004:
 
I had some oranges, a pack of snack a jacks and a low fat yogurt. If I was not being healthy, I'd suggest beer and pub food.
Posted by WarHead, 13:09, 19th March 2004:
 
I'm having a norange, a napple and a nana.
Posted by Perclissigi, 13:10, 19th March 2004:
 
Hmm, I have to eat at home, no money see...
I *want* to be healthy, but a bacon sandwich is SOOOOOOO tempting...
Posted by Brock, 13:11, 19th March 2004:
 
Mmmmmmm...Beer...
Posted by Uma, 13:15, 19th March 2004:
 
How's the weight-loss going, James? It sucks having to watch what you eat. I've done it all my life, and now it's just second nature. I tend to put weight on very quickly, so I have to watch it all the time.
Posted by Perclissigi, 13:17, 19th March 2004:
 
I'm trying to stay healthy, since Jen and another one of my friends are on a diet, it's kind
of hyporcitical of me to say "stick to your diet!" when i'm sat here eating pizza every day.
So i'm going to be healthy instead. I never realised how hard it is...
Posted by Uma, 13:19, 19th March 2004:
 
It's awful. But I eat whatever I like once a week, and stick to the diet during the week. It's the only way I can manage my weight. And with excercise.
Posted by Perclissigi, 13:23, 19th March 2004:
 
Yeah, that's what Jen's like. I might find that I *have* to eat pizza, or i'll waste away and die... possibly? I never seem to put weight on you see. Even if i want to, i'm always 9 and a half stone. (Just over 60kgs for Uma, or 133 pounds, for you americans )
Posted by WarHead, 13:25, 19th March 2004:
 
I never used to have be careful about diet, really, because I was cycling to work, doing karate two or three times per week and having one serious swimming session every week. Then I had back trouble for a while and had to stop and it's damn hard to get going again once you've stopped.
Posted by Brock, 13:25, 19th March 2004:
 
I advocate the "Poo-more" diet. People always worry about intake. Surely it's a matter of balancving that with your output. I reckon that all you have to do is eat what you want, and just crap more. Spend an extra 10 minutes on the can every time.

It's bound to work, isn't it.
Posted by Uma, 13:27, 19th March 2004:
 
Ouch Perci, I weigh 5kg more than you!

/Uma goes on a diet :)

Perc, do you particularly *want* to put weight on?
Posted by WarHead, 13:27, 19th March 2004:
 
I can't help feeling there's a flaw in that plan, somewhere.
Posted by Brock, 13:27, 19th March 2004:
 
In the pants department, he does, I bet!
Posted by WarHead, 13:30, 19th March 2004:
 
I used to stick a King Edward spud down my pants to try to impress the girls, but they all just avoided me like the plague. Then my mate told me I should have put it down the FRONT.
Posted by Perclissigi, 13:31, 19th March 2004:
 
Ok, just cus *you're* inadequate, doesn't mean we all are brock :p Believe me I have NO problems in that department!

And i would like to beef up a bit in general Uma yes. I think it's more the fact that i need to put on muscle than fat. And i wouldn't worry about weighing more than me, you're a woman and you're probably taller than me too!
Posted by Uma, 13:32, 19th March 2004:
 
lol! sheise

lol@warhead
Posted by jeff, 13:33, 19th March 2004:
 
i eat all manner of unhealthy food every day, i'm constantly tired but i'm 5'8" and weigh about 8 stone so I don't really care. Now where are those biscuits...
Posted by Perclissigi, 13:34, 19th March 2004:
 
Vitamins Jeff! Vitamins!
And get some exercise, you'll feel more energetic.
Posted by Uma, 13:36, 19th March 2004:
 
Nah, I'm 1 m 65 (5ft 4) I think?

But I have a lot of muscle, as well, though.
Do you detest going to the gym?
Posted by jeff, 13:38, 19th March 2004:
 
yeah i used to go swimming a lot at uni but since i started work i've just had too much freelance and been too tired to drag myself down there.
I hate going to the gym but swimming is good. winter makes me want to curl up and drink tea a lot though.. summer should inspire me to get out more.
Posted by Perclissigi, 13:39, 19th March 2004:
 
Wouldn't know, having never been. I prefer more home-based exercise.
(you know, watching tv, sleeping, wanking)
Posted by Uma, 13:39, 19th March 2004:
 
Gosh, jeff you must be skinny! Pwah!
Posted by Uma, 13:43, 19th March 2004:
 
I used to *hate* excercise. But once I got going it was OK. Now I do it because it makes me feel good as well as for the health benefits. Besides, I'm not getting any horizontal excercise, so it helps to burn some of that off
Posted by Perclissigi, 13:44, 19th March 2004:
 
I thought you were now?
Posted by Uma, 13:46, 19th March 2004:
 
That was a once-off, it doesn't come anywhere NEAR to counting as being excercise enough
Posted by Uma, 13:48, 19th March 2004:
 
Exercise is only beneficial if it's REGULAR ;)
Posted by Perclissigi, 13:48, 19th March 2004:
 
Haha, yeah i had a similar thing...
Posted by Uma, 13:50, 19th March 2004:
 
wahoo! tell! jen?
Posted by jeff, 13:51, 19th March 2004:
 
i'm ultra skinny. can be a problem finding trousers when you're a 28 waist and a 34 leg though
Posted by WarHead, 13:53, 19th March 2004:
 
I really want to get back on my bike this year and maybe start swimming again too. I guess it would help if I wasn't on the net until the small hours most nights, which is something Mrs WH has a go at me about from time to time.
Posted by Perclissigi, 13:53, 19th March 2004:
 
Uma: No, not jen :( And as predicted, i felt shite afterwards :( this was a few weeks ago anyways, and right now i can't get jen out of my head.

Bloody hell, it's CHUCKING it down outside :/

Anyway, I'd better be off, i need to get some lunch and then i have domestic duties to attend to. (I'm getting rid of my MASSIVE bed and putting a singe one in. Kinda symbolic in a way...)
Posted by Uma, 13:57, 19th March 2004:
 
That'll be like washing your windows. Two days after you do that, you'll have birds stuffing their hands down your pants! (hopefully)
Posted by Perclissigi, 13:58, 19th March 2004:
 
I would rather have women down there. Beaks don't do much for me ;)
Posted by Uma, 13:59, 19th March 2004:
 
ta ta!

Oh, just before i go uma...
where's my reply to that email? eh?
:P

Sorry Perc...i'm getting in a loop between home and work email. Will reply this evening...

This thread makes the tag line look great.

Hehehe
Posted by Doctor Lucid, 17:17, 20th March 2004:
 
Yeah, i eat very little.. had some kind of potato curry with coconut milk and coriander and carrots and mushrooms last night, in fact, which is quite a positive thing.. normally it's just a grapefruit, and possibly some cheese or hummus..

I'm about 9 stone, but I'm really small, so I'm not as waif-like as that makes me sound..
Posted by Doctor Lucid, 17:18, 20th March 2004:
 
(although my waist size is less than Jeff's!)
Posted by Sul, 17:48, 20th March 2004:
 
Being small probably makes you a better doctor. Who would you rather have fixing your insides? The jolly green giant or that guy from inner space after he's been shrunk down and has his cool little inner spaceship?

Lucky bastard. I always put on about 3-5 kilos when I go home for a week.

Currently cooking an Aldi fish pie. :-\ Breakfast this morning was orange juice and a large pot noodle..

Tonight Mathew, I am going to be eating coronation chicken with a garlic naan bread, accompanied by a nice dolop of lime pickle and an equally nice dolop of mango chutney. Rock on!
Posted by Kallese, 17:47, 16th April 2004:
 
Baked Salmon and potatoes. I'll be consuming it with water.

Dammit I should really start eating during the day. Now I'm starving.

I'll be eating a desert for dessert while I am deserting my better judgement that this was a bad post.
Posted by jeffld, 02:17, 23rd April 2004:
 
Pizza with cheese, sausage, mushroom and pepperoni.
Posted by reitsma, 04:16, 23rd April 2004:
 
last night, i had beef burgundy with rice.
