After school snack memories
moslty i never ate after school- casue i was too preocupied with playing but if i did snack it would always be- a piece of fruit or a 100percent dried fruit strap, almonds yoghurt and as a aspecial treat dried figs and if i was very hungry grain crispbreads with vegemite, cheese, tomato and lettuce.
Favorite Topping for a Triscuit?
ok sorry but vegemite and cheese on a triscuit rye cracker is very nice, very very nice.
Cravings and Binges
ha- me too spinach edamame indian food, ahh but not the white russian, i'm only young.
Cravings and Binges
yeah i never ever crave chocolate or anything sweet-fatty etc don't know why but i always want something healthy and filling if i crave anything- actually probably not a bad thing
Cravings and Binges
i went through a period of eating 6 tart granny smith apples a day- during a particularly hot aussie summer. very soothing :)
best thing to eat when stomach is off?
haha hopefully, i actually find apples in general to be very calming for my tummy problems an its sometimes one of the only fruits i can eat, so i'm thinking i'll have to give the humble pie a good run now here in aus the temp is starting to drop rapidly. p.s the baby food helped a lot thankyou so much for the tip ;-)
You don't like that?!
haha funny the next time i recieve a rich gooey cream filled sweet i'll know where to send it, good on you
Chains you wished you had in the USA
a fantastic burger place called grille'd has started to franchise in melbounre, lovely lean fresh burgers all obviously "grilled", chicken avacado and salad is lovely is lovely and a gourmet greek burger with lean lamb and babaganush eggplant and tabouli is fabulous,
a lean kangaroo burgwr with bush chutney fresh tomato and salad or perhaps an aussie with fresh beetroot, sharp chedder lean beef, salad and a "grilled" egg yummy ;-)
ooh and my fav a beautiful fresh salmon burger made with high quality salmon and ground chickpeas with avacado and tartar sauce plus a wedge of lemon to serve mmmmm
You don't like that?!
haha, yeah i eat like a horse but cause its pretty healthy i seem to be able to without affect to my body circumfrence ;-)
The Best Combination of Two Distinct Flavors
cottage cheese and tuna
avacado and rye toast
pita breead (wholemeal) and vegemite
mint and chocolate
what to do with philadelphia cream cheese?
wow, i think i;ll try this but withou the jam marmalade part so more of a savoury french toast (i always thought it was savoury until i turned 16 a year ago)
What is your favorite toast and spread combination?
i totally agree toast=good in my book (mostly anyway ;-0)
its the end of the world! yum...
ha, manufactured goodness, well if you're willing to try a tim tam when you come to aus (they have a manufactured goodnesss too) i will definetly try one ;-0
What is your favorite toast and spread combination?
ooh you triggered something with the sprouted thing, i LOVE ESSENE BREAD mmmm its very moist and rich and oh its the best bread in the world ( a very controversial statement there aye) but imho it is and the rye essene bread trumps everything, and toasted mmmm topped with peverse amounts of butter then spread with cottage cheese and pepper YUM....additions or other options include tomato, avacado, or really good cheese of any kind.
Defining "vegetarian"
thats like me i only eat ethically raised animals, for example i live in australia and i eat kangaroo because it is wild. i eat organic chicken and fish too plus other ethcially raised animals and organic eggs and dairy, i am not a vegetarian obviously i am an ethcial eater (and i know i am fortunate to have the choice becasue its expensive and not every one can do it-yet)
Discreet ways to pretend you are "eating" your food?
this is the only thing about having celiac disease that has paid off, if it has gluten i really can't eat it, and sometimes this IS a good thing. other than that i just suck it up because someone has gone to the effort of maknig me a meal , and if it really terrible i'm really really small so i can get away with saying oh it was lovely i'm just a bit fulll after a few bites and it sounds sincere i;m also a teenager so people usually don;t even notice.
Fat Parisians?
my family lived in france on and off for a lrage part of my childhood, and i put it down to small portions of non-processed foods and really well made satisfying pastries. also a lot more walking and good genetics (my whole family is really thin so what do i know tho"
What's your favorite box cookie
the best packaged cookies in the world are Tim Tams.
things you buy for them that you eat....
ok so whenever i go visit my parents, i eat singles cheese slices! how horrible i know but i always do it, but shh i never tell.
and before i moved out a few months ago i would shake my head in dishust "oh you want cheese slices, echh fine i'll buy them for YOU DAD" and then when no one was looking, and the house was all but empty i take a few and put them on my cheese, tuna and salad sandwhich or for my apple!
c'mon what do you buy for "them"?
its the end of the world! yum...

spaghetti alla carbonara
i agree the batali ratio is the one thats closest to my personal preferance

i LOVE carob too! and i know its sacreligous but i love it much more than chocolate too, i don't even really like chocolate that much ;-)

OMG i haev been an avid supporter of avacado on toast since early childhood (it was my mums favourite food i think) oh i just love it usually a whole half to a slice (of toast that is mmmmmm! especially on rye toast the combination is just awesome!
my name is lucia and i am a avacado on toast addict!
Egg on top - new trend?
the aussies have been doing the egg (and beetroot of course) with burgers for a while ;-)
What are you a stubborn purist about?
no vegemite only! ;-) and i love love love crusty rye toast with avacado mashed on (my fav breakfast food) so i will have to try the combination!
What's your Salt Fetish?
i love lebnah with lots of salt too! and yoghurt is always improved in my opinion by salt!
