Thoughts on bread and hunger.
Jul. 10th, 2006 10:34 amOh god, I'm really craving a good baguette, now. A really good crusty one. Why can't bakeries ever make decent crust-so-crispy-it-snaps bread any more? The best I can ever get is almost-crusty-so-it's-just-really-chewy. My dad used to bring us home a loaf of crusty bread from our local bakery every Saturday, and I suppose it may be one of my comfort foods. It really makes me want to experiment with bread making (Don't want to use a bread maker, though. 1) Don't have one, and 2) I hate the little hole that gets left in the bottom from the mixer. Also the bread's always a strange shape) so I could make my own loaf of crusty bread. Mmm, crusty.
I'm hungry this morning. I've eaten my breakfast, and now I've eaten my combined morning and afternoon snacks (watermelon, pineapple, strawberries and apple. Mmm) and I'm still hungry. I'm a bit concerned, because I've been on a "diet" (it's more accurate to just call it a lifestyle change; we're just being especially strict with it at the moment) and for the last couple of weeks I've put on a bit of weight. Daharja says it's probably in part due because I'm starting to get down to my ideal weight, but I suspect it's also due to the treats I've been having. I had a couple of treats yesterday at writing group*, but they were so awful that I really don't think I'm going to be tempted to have treats there again. I may bring along my own ingredients for a decent nachos: baked corn chips, home-made salsa & salsa cruda – essentially what I had, but it'll taste better and won't have all this extra oil and sugar. Who adds sugar to a salsa? I ask you. It should NOT have been that sweet.
On the other hand, it's bollocking cold, and Steph said she was hungry all yesterday because the house was so cold. I suppose I should just tell my stomach that it isn't getting anything until lunch, and it can just go and burn some of that fat and sugar I had yesterday (which are probably even now clinging to the slopes of my hips) and like it. And I might go and have another go on the exercise bike in an attempt to warm up.
* We've been having it in a food court because it's warm and one of the few places in the city open on a Sunday. Also, there are no waiters to guilt us into buying $15 entrees.<\small>
