Hi AnnaGail

I turn to Jalepeno's when I am feeling shitty and hungover as well, but mine are usually on pizza

And sugary drinks are a must as well, but I have coke. Or, rather, used to!
I just LOVE cereal! What I have wet dreams about, is Jordan's strawberry country crisp
My mother was the same. My nan used to buy us honey nut loops when she came round every Tuesday, but my mother would always eat them all in one sitting that night. So we never got to have any, but we did get whatever free sticker or toy was inside the pack lol. Maybe that's what it is, cereal = happy feeling of free gift. Hmmmm. What happened to free gifts in the boxes anyway? And the tokens you could cut off weetabix packets for free books? I used to love my weetabix fact books. Read them over and over actually.
I didn't feel like eating at all, but I counted every gram, and millilitre so it added up to exactly 320 calories, then once i had had a spoonful I shovelled the rest of it (surprisingly little) into my gob like a starving person, who was starved. Then, I ate another bowl, and to hell with the calorie counting. Ooops.
Cornflakes and garlic bread are two of the highest GI foods in existance, and yesterday my boyfriend bought the cornflakes, and now I am being tortured by the smell of garlic bread. Arrggghhh.
I'm feeling loads better now, but Charlie has been sick 3 times already in the last 4 hours bless him

And it was a lot of sick. He still seems fairly happy tho, you wouldn't think he was ill. I've just got him into a new school, which will be loads better for him. The school he goes to right now isn't specialised enough. And, the added bonus of his new school, is that its a couple of miles away so he will get the school bus every morning, which is nice, as he is obsessed with transport, and loves buses, and it'll also be nice in the winter/rain not to have to trudge to school every morning. Not good on the exercise front tho lol.
Other news is.... I always think I am going to win stuff. The lottery etc... Last time I thought I was going to win something, I did (a £1000 pound rug in a tiebreaker competition which is AMAZING). I have just entered a competition for a £10000 kitchen which closed today, and I got a personal (ie. not mass) email back addressed "Dear Ruth", saying they would be in touch with me after the competition closes.... which makes me think I am on a shortlist. Hopefully. You had to give your favourite recipe, and the 3 best ones will have to have a master-chef style cook off, and the best one wins the new kitchen. As you all know, my fridge would only be big enough for a single person, plus only two hobs on my cooker work, plus two doors have fallen off my decrepid units. Plus I love cooking so much, and no-one will love a new kitchen more than me! I gave a recipe for my lamb curry, which is actually MY lamb curry recipe I made up myself

And a spicy Indian rice which i added some ingredients from Joh's wedding rice too, so it is an original recipe. Haven't actually tried it with coconut and pistachhios, but I'm sure its lovely. Anyway, I have checked my emails about 15 times today. I went to the semi-finals in a spam recipe competition that was similar, the prize was a family holiday in Hawaii, It went by public vote tho. I didn't find out till afterwards, I saw an email from Spam, which was probably letting me know it had gone to vote, but I thought it was spam lol. I could have voted for myself a zillion times (and I bloody would have done lol). Fingers crossed. I really believe I'm going to win it, its so stupid. I'm such a dreamer. Arrggghhhh. pS. If i do win, because I semi-plagiarised Descionmakers's recipe, I will send her/you (refering to Joh lol) some kitchen related goodies
