Today's (30th October 2026) lunch comments

Today's lunch was another disasterous affair because I forgot to sync the two baskets, then forgot how long it had been cooking so had to guess, then I forgot to reduce the times by that much, then forgot to let the first egg cool down so it completely disintegrated in my hands as I tried to peel it lol  

Today's actual lunch, like my breakfast, came in two parts - a hard "boiled" egg cooked in my air-fryer with 3 chestnut mushrooms, washed down with a 330ml can of a Sparkling Passion[fruit] pop and then a pud of the last 4 tubs of pineapple in juice.

I've got 2 eggs left to use tomorrow and then I'm gonna leave off them for a while because of my writing month starting on Sunday.  I'm not giving up entirely, just taking a bit of a break from most cooking until I've finished writing my third memoir, then I'll try again until I get it all spot on.

Today's (30th October 2026) breakfast comments

I started the day as I mean to go on - with a proper meal instead of crisps and/or chocolate.  My first breakfast was, of course, a 500ml glass of water to wash my 11 morning pills down with.  My second breakfast was 2 slices of wholemeal 'Toastie' toast with approx 20g of 'Buttery' spread and approx 30g of a plant-based chocolate and hazelnut spread, washed down with a freshly-decanted 250ml bottle of Wonky Orange juice.  I've also got a me-friendly creamy drinking chocolate on the go atm too, which I'm hoping will satisfy my sweet tooth for a few minutes lol
