Eat the peel

@watso you realise you have a great gourmet rival on here?? his name is @NoBoDe - he can tell you about eclectic food mixes.

I am not so omnivorous - purchase pears, but eat them raw, unpeeled but cut into pieces, 1 or 2 per day - also mandarins, but they go into my breakfast drink - used to eat a self-mixed muesli for breakfast, but now have purchased diet 'dust' - comes in sachets and gets put with water into a blender, plus some frozen berries from ALDI as well as a cut-up mandarin with the peel. Great breakfast - digests very quietly and fills me up for 3 - 4 hours. I love coffee, the real coffee - have 2-3 per day, probably shouldn't, but what the heck!
If I feel i want to lash out, i will also put 2 dollops of ice-cream into the morning mix.

Lately i am eating a lot of vegetables as well as fruit, as I had some bad kidney readings after my 2 1/2 year nightly indulgence . . .
New test this Monday!
But I felt the good effect almost immediately when I went on this new diet (since June)very little alcohol, if possible none - not possible for me, am a social critter and share the odd drink with friends)
also try and cut down on flour products - mustn't eat canned beans, - should
drink lots of water and
eat:
salmon
beef
and other meats and fish in small amounts daily,
am allowed lentils, but have to be careful with beans.
I do spend money on good food, but have found ALDI have some surprising goods, don't like their 'Berg' stuff - despite the European name, the meats and 'charcuterie' are nothing like the original. They do have a nice Gorgonzola and some other cheap imported cheeses, Gouda is my favorite. I even mince my own Bolognaise sauce meat, buy my meat at Coles, grass-fed etc.

When I have finished all the practical work round here, I will make my own bread again - with sour dough and matured over 3 days . . . it is delicious and keeps well, never goes moldy.
You do eat some strange food, @watso - one shouldn't economise on food, if there is a need to do that, home-cooking is the answer and eating small portions . . .

re self-mixed muesli

maybe (or maybe not) watso has posted about this in the past ..

watso is going through the last of his hoard of rtc muesli and the best way to cook muesli is in a GOOD FOOD VACUUM FLASK .. Ie a food flask that holds the heat..

watso has about 100gm of muesli - mixed with about the same quantity of milk powder (using the same measuring thingy ..by volume ) ..

anyway on a midnight pee wee visit to the wc (or water closet) simply boil some water and add to the flask (maybe it is a one pint flask) ..

anyway , in a few hours all of the muesli is cooked and ready to eat .. and extra milky from the milk powder

mmm mmm home-cooking is the answer

lol lol watso is always home-cooking .. but every so now and then gets a bit lazy ..

mmm mmm for what it is worth, but watso has a HUGE yard and of course full of weeds..

in the distant past, watso had a goat and chooks to take care of the gardening .. anyway the yard has to be cleared by the end of the month ..

in the past, watso has had the pleasure of the city council inspectors inviting themselves to have a chat, enjoy a cup of tea and sample watso's cooking
