2:38a - Food, Glorious Food
I was going to update, but I suddenly realised I was rather hungry, and that looking at Fish & Chip shops on Wikipedia was a bad idea. I had no idea I could crave gooey British cuisine like that, but even mushy pea sauce seems appealing. I admit that I've been eating way too little this past week, but it's led me into a cycle of having too little energy to have a meal...I don't want to put money on my card with only a week to go, so Founder's is out, and there is only so much microwavable food one can ingest, and it's hardly filling. Super noodles have quickly lost their appeal. For some reason, however, I've been eating a lot of peperamis lately. I'm not overly sure why: I was hoping to slowly become vegeterian, which hasn't happened. I suspect the spices are to blame. I do so like my pepper. I like the pepper fruits too: they're gorgeous, especially with olives and just a few chillis.
Oh, and speaking of spice, why do Nando's have different spice ratings for their food and sauces? We ate there yesterday, and were taken completly unprepared by the 'hot' sauce, which was far spicier than the 'hot' chicken. It was a shame, because even the milder spiced foods then set the heat off again, and the sauces themselves were really lovely. I grew midly addicted to the mild herbal sauce, although I had difficulty finishing the meal, and the price was a rip-off, as could be expected from London. I'll stick with Frango's in Kingston, which is such a carbon copy of a Nando's that I'm surprised they haven't been sued.
I do look forward to next year, when a freezer and an oven will allow real dinners to be cooked! Although, having said that, I suspect I haven't seen the last of super noodles, chicken ready meals or pot noodle, the latter of which I only have monthly. Yes, I'm trying to cling to a vague pretence of health. The 10km in sunbaked humidity on Thursday does suggest that I'm not as unfit as I'd deem myself, and I do prefer my seeded rye bread and chocolate rasins to fruit gums and those grease-laden pizzas which you can buy from the phone places. I'm lucky in a way: grease makes me ill, so I can never manage to eat much greasy food, and if I do, I'd regret it soon after. I'm a little like that with fruit gums too. Oh, the madness!
Okay, enough talk. I need to find food. I think I have some oriental noodles waiting in my room, which would need a can of peas and some unseeded rye bread (alas, its nowhere near as nice as the seeded variety) as supplements. Yet another late night, too, although I seem to wake up around eleven no matter when I go to bed at the moment. Bad me...
