(I always wonder what capers are?)

It was yummy, and yes, it was homemade.
Capers are the buds of the caper plant. This is what they look like: http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u...t=17Kapern.jpg
The flowers are beautiful, and the scent is unforgettable. It will always be with me in my memories of Sicily. Look: http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u...t=22Kapern.jpg and http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u...t=10Kapern.jpg
The buds are then hand-picked, put in water for several days, dried in the sun, and preserved under salt. The officially best capers in the world come from Salina (Sicily). These are buckets full of capers in the co-operative where they produce them: http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u...Mmmhlecker.jpg
Unfortunately, in the UK you mostly get them in vinegar, which is a shame - the salted ones are far superior. I brought a kilo back with me from Sicily!

Do you have an eating disorder sweetie?

Let me try to think of the possible reasons for that comment.

1. I said "I ate too much again."
I think most people would agree that 3400 kilocalories per day is "too much."

2. I ate mostly one type of food.
That is not really a choice. My stomach condition requires me to eat mostly grains.

3. I counted the number of ounces.
I think I have a right to know what goes in my mouth.

I do not take offense to being called "sweetie."


Anyway, while I am here, I might as well post yesterday, which was not much different.

Refined Wheat Flour Tortillas, 8.5 ounces
Three-Color Semolina Pasta, 6 ounces
Rice crackers, Wasabi flavor, 3.57 ounces
Corn Crispbread, 3.5 ounces
Pretzel Sticks, 3 ounces
Sandwich Crackers, 2.4 ounces
Round Crackers, 2 ounces
Fake meat stick, 1.5 ounces

[BlackCats]

2 crumpets with yeast extract

Dry baguette
Crisps

2 jacket potatoes with loads of broccoli and gravy

What was left of the vanilla ice cream (not much) and what was left of the box of mint chocolates (quite a few.)

I had two bowls of pasta salad for dinner - twas lovely.

It was understandable that she asked the question if she has read some of your other posts Steven, it is obvious you are drastically restricting your calorie intake and you have told us already you are underweight and want to stay that way.

God woman! Stop mentioning crumpets! You're driving me insane with desire and jealousy.

I love crumpets... Love 'em. The ones I can get here in france are vile. I like the big fat traditional ones that are all burned on top.

If you're going to keep eating them, at least take a photograph and post it so I can have a good ogle.

If anybody else has photos of crumptets, pikelets, muffins, toast, toasted buns, toasted potato farls ... any toasted products ...

Am I obsessed??!

Yoggy, where are you getting these Wha Guru Chews? Or are you still going through your Hawaiian stash?

My mom ordered me a whole case for Christmas . You can order from their website. I'm partial to the Cashew Vanilla flavour, but there are other vegan flavours as well.

I sure miss Hawaii! The health food stores were SO big, and they have lots of yummy vegan stuff in the States that you can't get here!

[Roxy]

http://digestivedistress.com/eating_disorders.html

I do not understand what you mean when you say I am drastically restricting my calorie intake. For the last month, I have eaten an average of 3400 Calories per day, which is more than health organizations recommend. The lists of food I have posted here clearly do not show restricted intake.
Furthermore, I did not say I was underweight! I have said that my BMI is 19.5, which is considered in the normal range, and that is the truth.

Yesterday
Rectangular Crackers, 7 ounces
Three-Color Pasta, 6 ounces before cooking
Bagel, 4.5 ounces
Croutons, 4 ounces
Italian Handrolled Crackers, 2 ounces
Fat-Free Popcorn, 2 ounces
Fake meat, 1 ounce
Whole Wheat Bread, 1 ounce

[Marrers]

Yesterday:-
1 banana
half a veg pie with peas and broccoli
3 rashers and a sausage
1 marshmallow
2 chocolates

Today so far:-
1 banana
small bowl of Broccoli soup
3 rashers

[Tigerlily]

Bowl of Muffets cereal with soy milk and banana slices
Cup of coffee

Bowl of fatoush (Arabic-style salad with baked pita bread pieces)

@ Taiwanese restaurant:
Noodle dish with lots of veggies (split with my mom)
Rice dish in a gravy-like sauce and veggies (split with my mom)
2 spring rolls

And now a cup of tea.

I'll probably have some sort of snack tonight. Maybe cookies.

Edit: I also had a bowl of cereal with soy milk and some soy yogurt. I'm hungry again and might much on something else. Late nights always make me hungry!

[Cup'O'Tea]

B: Whole grain bagel with organic peanut butter. Raspberries. Two cups of coffee with agave and almond milk.

S: Apple, handful of Kashi cereal

L: Mini tortilla with 2 slices Yves veggie turkey, hummus, mixed greens. Grape tomatoes & cucumber on the side. Frozen grapes and banana chunks for dessert.

S: Half a starbucks brownie, petite gourmet mushrooms and baby carrots with hummus.

D: Chili served over mixed greens. White kidney beans, canned tomatoes, red peppers, onions, chili peppers, garlic powder, cumin, TVP, tomato paste.

Gotta skip breakfast tomorrow for a Dr.'s appointment. That sucks , my weight dropped lower than ever today. Not that that's super bad, but if I lose any more, my doctor and mom will be concerned.

I think she was refering to the BMI thread where you were talking about how being underweight is a personal choice and the benefits of it.
Its your opinion so whatever.

It looks like to me you are eating enough especially if you are geting 3,000 + calories. The only thing is your diet is not varied which is understandable considering your illness.

Sorry your not doing well, I hope you get better.

[Yoggy]
