Diana – Glad you feel that way! That tandoori sandwich sounds amazing. I’m especially intrigued by the ginger fruit… will definitely have to try recreating that!

I guess you guys like this series. So I’ll continue it in between recipes. Can’t wait to hear what more of you had!

Breakfast: Peach

Lunch: Shrimp and green bell pepper stirfry over sticky rice. I added spicy black bean sauce into the sauce and let it run into the rice as well. I was only using the sticky rice to finish it off, but it was great. I love sticky rice.

Snacks: Nature Valley Vanilla Nut bar.

Dinner: Went out last night because I had a craving for the Tandoori chicken sandwich at The Lucky Platter. I’ll try to describe it. It’s served on a round bun, smothered with a slightly tangy sauce, with onions, feta, and thin slices of cucumber. The dish also comes with this great gingered fruit, which has peaches, strawberries, grapes, pineapple served in a sweet/sour ginger sauce, with bits of onion and cilantro. SO good! If you can come up with a similar recipe, please post!

Today, coffee and freshly squeezed juice at 8am.
Half a Nasi Lemak (coconut milk rice with whitebait sambal, a boiled egg, peanuts and fried whitebait) at 10am. And a pulled tea – sweet, milky tea, literally pulled from cup to cup until frothy. Yes, really.
A slice of sugar plum and almond torte at 1pm.
Lots of water in between.
Starving. It’s 6pm. Hubby is coming home with Indian takeout. More rice. And mutton masala. And papadoms.

Okay, it’s not always like this.

Thanks for playing along!

Breakfast – poached egg (jealous?) on wholemeal toast.
Snack: 2 plums
Lunch: Sandwich with egg and salad (all we had in the house was eggs and bread ok??)
Dinner: Butternut squash soup. Yum. More bread. 2 plums. At least 3 glasses of red wine.

very proud of myself because despite overwhelming temptation I did not stop and get KFC – we drove past the KFC 10 times yesterday and each time I wanted to stop and just kept going.

1 cup oatmeal with a tiny bit of mil and brown sugar
1 cup strong coffee with 1 t cream
2 cranberry, white chocolate, oatmeal cookies {each the size of a walnut}

1 cup 1% yogurt with 1 T homemade jam and a sliced banana.
4 Milton’s sesame seed crackers

2 cups green and yellow beans from the garden with fresh grated nutmeg and butter.

My stomach always takes a few days to adjust to the diet and then the weight falls off. It has certainly been harder to be motivated this fourth time around though.
