Morning everyone
Morning, how is everyone? Any plans for today?
QOTD: What food do you not like that you wish you like?
Re: Morning everyone
I'm so not awake I almost titled this Mums Bumps and BBTs! Why oh why do I not drink coffee?? Hot Ribena isn't cutting it
Today it's my Mums group followed by lunch from a small group from the big one. This afternoon I think we may try and nap in our bed as LO is sucking at naps at the moment!
QOTD: Salmon! I dont' eat most meats so I end up with fish a lot of the time, salmon is the only one that I DO NOT LIKE and it always looks yum and the descriptions sound great. Sadly when it makes it into my mouth thats when I realize it's not a good idea!
Hi! Just another busy day at work for me today, nothing exciting.
QOTD: Blueberries. I know there are so many amazing foods with blueberry in them (pies, muffins, etc) but just the smell makes me nauseous. No idea why.
Now jumping domestically.
Well that was a crazy couple of years.
Morning. My parents should be arriving in the next 30 min or so! I'm really looking forward to seeing them. I'll only get to see them for a bit, though, before I have to go to work, which is just as well since they're 5 hr "overnight" flight will probably have them wiped out. I'll try to get off and come home early. No plans for this evening, just cooking dinner and catching up with them.
QOTD: I can't think of a good one. Maybe rocket/arugula. It comes with so much here, in salads and on sandwiches, and I just don't like the taste.
Cecilia arrived 12 October 2012
Work, then tonight I'm making lasagna.
QOTD: beets/beetroot. I know that they are good for you but I just don't like them and I've tried a ton.
Hi! I am taking LO to music group and then have a scrapbooking crop at night so will get some Kenyan Coriander Lamb in the slow cooker.
QOTD: I wish I could like avocado, but the texture puts me right off. Plus in Chile, it goes on hamburgers, hot dogs etc and sits in big pumps at restaurants, so I think that helped me to get grossed out by it too. Guacamole and corn chips always look so good but I can't get over the texture!
Typical day for me, work and the gym.
QOTD: Ha, I like all of the fruit and veg mentioned above. Meat, all types, DH would love it if I ate some type of meat and I tried chicken once a few years ago, I just don't like meat any more. It has been nearly 19 years. To be more specific, squash.
Good morning!
I need to clean our apt this morning, do some grocery shopping and hopefully have some time to go to the beach and go swimming and go for a run tonight.
QOTD: Bananas, they make me gag, but I love certain banana flavored foods, like banana ice cream or banana pudding (especially with vanilla wagers!)
No plans for the day.
QOTD: I wish I liked seafood. I'm so bored with the food here when we are out and about and if I liked seafood it would open up more options to me.
Good morning!
We're back from our visit to the States and the jet lag is awful. I did most of the unpacking this morning and we're going to try and see a movie this evening then do dinner with friends.
QOTD: Tomatoes, cucumbers, and most fish. I'm still waiting for my adult taste buds to come in.
I wish we had better plans - considering it's a sunny day! But a friend from work will come over this morning (very nice, but makes us stay indoors), and then lunch, naps, doctors' surgery for M... If I have time I'm baking my birthday cake, so W can help.
QOTD: I'm with pineapples on this one, and wish I could eat beets/beetroot - I wish I could like them but they make me want to vomit. Every time. In every dish I've tried them. Even in chocolate cake. Poor DH likes them.
Morning! We've got a repairman coming out to replace a broken window pane (DH broke it while trying to squish a bug--doh!), so I'm stranded here until he arrives. We got a fruit and veg box delivered from Abel and Cole today--loving the thought of all the yummyness in my kitchen right now.
QOTD: One of the things I wish I could change about myself is how many things I don't like. I've made progress--going from a Midwestern meat, potatoes, and a veg diet to include cuisines from lots of different places. But there are still many things I absolutely hate. Vinegar and nearly all condiments are top of that list. So I guess in general I wish I could like more things, but I'm working on it.
Morning! Nothing big planned today.
QOTD: Seafood. I'm just not a fan and wish I was; since I know I could eat healthier. I try to force it down every now and again in small pieces (ie, sushi), but I wish I could enjoy it more.
Morning, I am on my way back to bed. James was awake from midnight until 4am this morning because of his skin so he is still sleeping and I want to be.
QOTD: Raisins. They are so easy and they in so many thngs. A good energy boost food too, but I have never liked them. I want to like them so much that every few months I try them and then gag.
Seeing a couple apartments, running errands, nothing special.
QotD: Any cooked vegetable. I can eat some veggies, but if they are cooked I can't stand them. I can eat broccoli and green beans raw, if I'm making an effort. I also love raw spinach but can't stand it cooked. Onions are the only vegetable I love in all it's forms.
2012 Reading Challenge
Good morning! It's sunny here although super cold so I'm in a better mood! Going out tonight for a friend's birthday and then he LEAVES IN THE MORNING
It was really great to show off our lives here but after a MONTH in our living room I am beyond ready to send him home. I am going to be so happy tomorrow afternoon.
QODT: I'm kind of picky. I hate spicy food which is irritating for everyone around me and I think onions are horrible in all forms. If I could get over either it would be super helpful!
BFP Apr 2012, EDD Dec 19 2012 * twin h/b at 6wk, 9wk scan * Baby A lost at 12wks, Baby B was my rainbow born at 36wks
Morning.
Sushi- have fun with your parents!
I feel really good today. I was extremely tired yesterday to the point of feeling lethargic all day. Work felt overwhelming and I ended up going home earlier than I had wanted to. But last night I slept from 9pm to 7am and I really feel on top of things today.
QOTD: Oats and Nuts. I like them OK, but I can never bring myself to snack on a handful of granola, which is a shame since it's healthy and a good energy boost.
2 hours until I leave for the states and I need to pack and shower. I'm a mess.
QOTD: Peppers, they seem to be in so many dishes and I can't stand them. I think I'm also slightly allergic to green peppers as my lips get a bit tingly and start to look all chapped around the edges if I do eat them.
Hello! We're doing pretty well. I'm trying to figure out Georgia's nap schedule. I think she's making the transition from 3 naps to 2, unfortunately. We have a BBQ/birthday party tonight for someone from our church.
Foods... I don't really like fish too much! I wish I did like it more because it is so healthy and would be a nice change from the beef/chicken/pork routine.
Good morning! My first early morning in a little while -- nice to finally catch up with y'all a bit
Back to work today after the last two days off. Should be a long, thunderstorm-filled day -- time to get creative with photo sales. This job is starting to wear on me.
Other than that, going for a run tonight. Need to get back on track for the half we're planning on running in November.
QOTD: I'm with Mouse on this, salmon. I just can't enjoy it. It's too fishy for me. Even at some remote glacier lodge in Alaska with the freshest salmon ever -- bleagh. No likey.
Morning! I'm tired today. My parents are here and we're heading to Edinburgh tomorrow. I'm so excited! Today will be a packing day.
QOTD: The only thing I can think of that I don't like is celery. I like it OK in things, but by itself and raw is gross to me. It's definitely just a texture thing.
Afternoon everyone! Not a lot going on here...just tired and ready for today to be over!
QOTD: Honestly, there's not a lot I won't eat. I won't touch organ meat, but I don't wish that I ate it. I wish I liked milk more...I just can't stand the stuff.
Afternoon. I've just got half of the kitchen stuff to pack away, and figure out something for dinner. Not really exciting.
QOTD: Lamb. I tried it once, and I can't get past the fact that it was a cute, fluffy sheep. I feel bad, since DH loves it, but I just can't bring myself to cook it.
