1. gross watered down milk. But don't take the moral high ground here pal - the full cream stuff is still a deconstruction of what the cow makes ;)

3. a pack of twisties and an iced coffee
4. Friends for dinner last night.
5. Carlton's continued free fall down the AFL ladder.

1. Full cream, or gross watered down milk - soy (Vitasoy So Milky Lite to be precise). Why on earth would I want to drink any variety of mucus and acne inducing milk from another species of animal after I've been weaned?!
2. A sound you don't like to hear - Alistair Bain had the same idea as I did; another one is the phone late at night or very early in the morning when I'm not expecting a call - it's generally bad news
3. Comfort food - Chocolate, cake, chips
4. Weekend highlight - my mother-in-law coming around for a scrapbooking workshop
5. Weekend lowlight - TAFE assignment which I didn't have much time to work on because I also had to go around to my grandmother's place to help with deciding what to keep and what to garage sale.

1. Full cream... Seriously, it has 4% fat total. Maybe you should be worrying about some of the other stuff you're eating...
2. Dog retch/cough/bleugh. Especially at 3am.
3. Anything my parents will cook for me.
4. The whole hour I got to sit down in a cafe with my husband and be political tragics and not do any work.
5. The other 47 hours...

(Sorry, am negative nancy today...)

1. Lol - talk about a leading question! Definitely Gross Watered Down Milk - I've been drinking low fat milk since a small child, and I don't like full fat.
2. The screech a ferret emits when you step on it's tail!
3. Currently oreos. Usually some form of chocolate biscuit or chocolate.
4. Running games at Karen's baby shower
5. The headache I had all weekend, and that I'm now at home sick, hopefully not with the flu.

1. Delicious, refreshing, low fat milk. (4% fat = 10g fat per 250ml. If you're aiming for 20g fat per day, that's half already. Mind you, a tiny slither of cake will deliver you 10g of fat too. But it tastes better.)
2. out of control classroom noise.
3. choc chip biscuits
4. ?
5. ? [clearly, an uninspiring weekend.]

Amy said...

Simone: I think milk tastes far better than cake personally. But then again, I'm weird.
(Is 20gm fat a day what we should be aiming for? I've been told 55gms for my weight/height/gender)

Simone R. said...

Amy - If you are trying to lose weight through a low fat diet, then 20g is what most women should aim for. If you are doing a lower carb type regime, you can have more fat than that. If you just want to stay as you are, 55g is probably right. Men can have about 80g!

4. 2 hr bike ride
5. a talk i gave.

Ben McLaughlin said...

Pedro- mmmmm rib eye..

Al-Oh, I'll take the high ground alright. That white water is like cold dish water. Nasty. Gotta say though, milk straight from the cow is kinda gross too.

Maso-Hope you get over the cold, brother. I've got one too.

Laetitia- Soy milk doesn't produce mucus? Scoff! By the way, how gross is the word 'mucus'..

Amy- Yeah, I agree. How terrible for you could a bit of milk be.

Georgina- Hope you fel better soon. I forgot K and B were having a baby, that's great.

Simone- Wow, all this talk of grams and millilitres is hurting my soul.

Beth- Yuck. Dentist drill. This is why it's been a decade (literally) since I went to the dentist.

Chris- Sorry your talk didnt go as well as you'd have liked..

Laetitia :-) said...

Ben, try soy milk sometime
(many varieties, some a lot nicer than others - just accept that it is not cow milk and will have its own distinct flavour); if you find that you have increased mucus production then it means that you are allergic to soy or something else in that particular product.

Ben McLaughlin said...

Laetitia, I actually like soy milk on its own, as a drink. I can't handle it as a milk substitute though, be it in coffee, tea or on my cereal.

But I would say it produces the same amount of gluggy glugg throat as any other milk.
