This is Charlotte's Week 2 Fortnight Fast diary entry, with daily menu:
.THE HALFWAY
POINT.
R4000 raised and
counting!
Needless to say I have dreamt more about food, with
my sister turning into a professional burger taster. I also imagined a house
made out of food: steak for the roof, pizza for the walls... you get the idea.
Though, I don’t think I will dream about food again, because in a way I think
maybe I have accepted my hot food deprivation?!
This weekend was pretty challenging because our friend who
was visiting happens to be a cracking cook. So whilst we were eating our
salads, we watched them eat STEAK and a roast dinner. It’s funny how
people have noticed that me and Laura are tending to talk more and more about
food. I’m sure that as the week progresses, it could get worse. Now, it’s not
all doom and gloom, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! I appreciate
hot food, so much more now. And we certainly have some lovely friends here in
Chintsa, with some lekker salads made for us by Kate, bit of chocolate cake at
Barefoot and a taastty cold sandwich made for us by Lyn at the Village
Bistro.
Monday: Day 7
B/fast: The last
of the Museli
Lunch: Leftover
tuna/sweetcorn/tinned tomatoes cold version of a pizza.
Half a peanut butter sandwich. Pineapple/apple and peaches
in yoghurt.
Dinner: Mozzarella
cheese/normal cheese, gammon, chutney and lettuce sandwich. Followed by:
gherkin/cucumber/lettuce/ tomatoes and apple salad. With a side of avocado/ with
balsamic vinegar on crackers, hummus on rice cakes. ICE CREAM at barefoot!
(They are good to us)
Snacked on cheesy biscuits with Laura, it’s so easy to get
very hungry.
Sunday: Day 6
Breakfast: Coffee
Lunch: I made a
cracking salad for me and Laura, if I do say so myself. Lettuce (a really nice
kind!) celery and feta salad with a dash of salad dressing, cucumber, gherkins
and cubes of cheese. Hummus, cream cheese on the side with a croissant.
Afternoon snack of chocolate cake with tea.
Dinner: Barefoot
homemade pizza base, sweetcorn, tuna, onion, tinned tomato, grated cheese. Very
tasty, but I couldn’t finish it!
Late night snack
of a marmite sandwich
Day 5
Saturday:
Breakfast:
Coffee.FED UP OF BREAD so... a bowl of tinned tomatoes and pineapple with
yoghurt.
Late lunch: Kate
and Nadine invited Laura and I for lunch. The amazingly delicious salads she
made ... Beetroot and pineapple salad, coleslaw with raisins, broccoli,
lettuce, nuts, apple ( probably some other tasty things), feta cheese, olives.
I’m sure I have forgotten one or two other tasty ones. Cheese on crackers with
chutney on the top. Followed by a Red cappucino - a cappucino made with Rooibos tea & honey, the best new hot beverage I
have ever tried! Me and Laura then popped to Cintsa East store and bought a
homemade milk tart for us to eat. Though the cream I bought wasn’t a success,
apparently you have to shake it.
Dinner: Cheese
and marmite sandwich, yum!
Late night snack
of cornflakes and cheese/marmite sandwich.
Day 4
Friday:
Brunch: Muesli
and fruit salad.
Dinner: Not one
but two salads, made with tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, feta, avocado, salad
dressing! A marmite sandwich.
Late night snack
of cornflakes and cheese/marmite sandwich.
Day 3:
Thursday: Coffee,
muesli and banana.
Mid morning snack:
Ham and salami sandwich from Lynn’s next door. A bit of Lou’s carrot cake.
Lunch: Only sushi
bought for us by the lovely Karen, it was very delicious!!
Dinner: A
cracking salad night out at Lou’s Chintsa Kitchen... so many different types of
salad. Asian inspired, prawn and crab, pickled fish, coleslaw, green salad,
orange and carrot... and they had apple cake with custard! Very, very tasty.
All this talk of food has made me hungry again... bye!
(I ended up popping over to the Bistro and waiting 20
minutes for a scone to cool down so that I could eat it. It was a tricky 20
minutes)
