Well, today I had a banana for breakfast, lunch was *not* what it should
have been so let's not go there.... and dinner will be baked trout, with
packet wine sauce and/or home-made roasted pepper sauce, boiled new
potatoes, steamed carrots and cauliflower, followed by home-made
blackberry/raspberry parfait (we have guests!). Probably olives for
nibbles to start with, I expect, if our guests like olives.

If I ate a lone banana for lunch, I assure you lunch would be out of
control. Bananas are extremely high on the glycemic index causing a rapid
rise followed by a rapid fall in glucose. Hunger is inevetible for me. If
I choose to enjoy a banana, I have to combine it with a protien and/or fat
source. I generally choose fruits that don't rock the blood glucose as
much, though, such as an apple or canteloupe.

If all I have time for at breakfast is a banana then I would do much better
to skip it all together.

My food for today has been half of a low carb bun topped with a two percent
cheese slice and an egg. It is after three and I am not hungry as yet. I
have also walked four miles. Tonight, I will make tomato soup which will
likely keep me for a couple of hours until I can cook something really good.
Likely, it will be salad and lean chicken or steak and then a half a serving
of low carb mac and cheese. I frequently have a glass or two of wine with
my evening meal.

You dinner, pardon me for saying so, seems very high in calories. I have no
experience with a prepackaged wine sauce. I prefer to make my own as I
always have some left over wine I am unwilling to drink and it involves
making a roux, etc. I can see having steamed veggies or boiled potatoes but
not both at the same time. Also, I know olives are a special treat but
aren't they very high in calories? What do you make the parfait with? Will
wine be served? That's another couple of hundred calories. Is this typical
of dinner or just a special occasion?

I understand what Elly is saying about the nectarines! I have bought some
that were so sweet they were like candy and others are almost bitter.
Better to add a little sweetener than to throw out the whole lot.

Just my two cents worth.

I find that whether I eat just a banana, or whether I eat a larger
breakfast, I am every bit as hungry after skating. So I'd rather eat
fewer calories. Lunch only went out of control because I was buying it;
it would have been fine had I had it at home.

Not all that; and they are low in carbohydrates if that is worrying you.

What do you make the parfait with?


See the recipes on my web-page:
http://www.amsmyth.demon.co.uk/Recipes/Parfait1.html

Will
wine be served?


Of course!

That's another couple of hundred calories.


So?

Is this typical
of dinner or just a special occasion?

Had you read my post, you would have seen that I said that I had guests.

I understand what Elly is saying about the nectarines! I have bought some
that were so sweet they were like candy and others are almost bitter.

I've never met a nectarine other than deliciously sweet, unless it was
under-ripe.

I did read your post and understood that you had dinner guests. The
question arose because I love to cook and I generally don't do anything
different when I have company than when I am just cooking for myself. In
fact, often, when I am having company, I serve something I prepared earlier
in order to reduce the time I have to spend away from my guests in the
kitchen. My mom, on the other hand, goes all out for guests. She serves
way too much food and when it is just her and my Dad, she prepares much more
modest meals.

Must be the different climates. I am at the mercy of my local fruit market
and sometimes the produce is excellent and other times..........
