The Eating Regime

I have decided that amongst a small tranche of small changes I want to make in how I am living I will try and eat breakfast.   I never feel like eating when I get up, which is probably more to do with entrenched eating habits rather than a healthy biorhythm.

What I would want to eat for breakfast!

I have made the shocking discovery, yeah I know don’t tell me, that when you eat breakfast you get hungry at lunch! I thought having a goodly breakfast this morning would mean I would be set for the day. But no, it seems that if you eat in the morning not only does your brain work better so does you metabolism. Shock horror!

What I should eat for breakfast!

So it seems that eating breakfast will lead to eating better lunches. I guess that might help with my other change of eating more fruit!

The Take-away Dilemma

For a long while now we have been contemplating the dilemma that is take-away’s. Every now and then you just don’t want to cook, and a good take-away is required. Living 15 minutes out of town has complicated things.

Our options have been really bad fish and chips, or even worse Chinese. The closest fish and chip shop which is any where near edible is a further twenty minutes away in Woodville. (Which is why we try and time travel through there  at tea time when we head to Palmerston North).

KFC and McDonalds ends up as cold stodgy and not very nice.

So we were, if not excited, curious to see how the new Indian take-away joint would be. Well it is good. And you can get Indian hot curry as opposed to Kiwi hot curry. This may be our monthly family take-away’s! :-)

The Lord Of The Fries And Other Stuff

Now that our insides have settled down, I can bring myself to write about one of our discoveries in Melbourne. Mainly The Lord Of The Fries! Just down the road from our hotel was this cool hole-in-the-wall take-away joint, called Lord of The Fries, and seriously they are the Lords of The Fries! They made the best chips I have had in ages. If a franchise opened up across from where I work, our bank balance, and my tummy would be in serious danger! If I had any money or interest in running a business, I would consider buying the Franchise rights for New Zealand and bring the out fit here. Nom Nom Nom. :-)

In other news, my partial success on the agent front, turned into a full no. But we are not disheartened, the search for representation, and or publication will continue. I will see a work in dead tree format!

There is an opportunity on the work front for a new direction as a professional librarian. Can’t say much now, but we are quite excited if it comes to fruit. It will mean a few changes in our lifestyle, which will make life really interesting :-)

For now though, more writing, reading and thinking.
