Smoked Ham

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

V misses the taste of Lithuanian food, there’s something about the food you grow up with that makes it’s mark. Anyway we went to a local deli to source some quality European smoked ham, which we found. The price tag was $75/kilo, which worked out at $10 for 6 slices…
It was delicious I’m told, I’m [...]

Coffee Free – Update

Saturday, July 28th, 2007

It’s been three weeks since I have kicked my coffee habit and all is well!
I don’t miss it at all and I find I’m drinking about half as much tea as the coffee replacement.

I have put on 2 kg’s.
Not because the food is bad but because it tends to end up quite boring and I have been taking some ‘unplanned’ meals. And whats with all the carbohydrates? Everything is bread, [...]
