Tiredness and Food

Hot buttered toast is the only thing that I need when I feel like that.

tinned spaghetti in tomato sauce

When I'm on my own - no Mr.Gally around and I can't be bothered to cook much, I have a whole avocado pear with vinaigrette followed by a boiled egg, a yoghurt and maybe a kit-kat and then I feel really sick - but it's fun at the time

gally that sounds health! glassortwo I love buttered toast, but it has to be thick sliced white bread!

I just pick at anything when I'm tired, although late night 'tiredness' foods seem to be crisps or ice cream [which I don't eat at any other time]. When I'm not tired I hardly eat and what I eat is pretty healthy. When I had hormones [sigh] I realised that my eating went wappy about a week before my period started...it took me years to see there was a pattern to it..again, either sweet food or carbohydrate.

anything with gravy in a bowl like shepherds pie, one fork, rubbish tv and a early night.

When my husband's away for a few days my eating treats are:
Fresh crab in a 'baker's shop' white bap. Yummy.
Prawns with avocado and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Fish roe on toast with a splash of vinegar.
Hmm - I've only just realised there's a theme here!

Well, GA, I never took you for a fishy character!

Pasta with pesto, drizzled with olive oil.

Coffee, flapjack (loads o' nuts), feet up, good book.

Cakes! Chocolate eclairs, Cream slices, Victoria sponge, Coffee cake, Carrot cake, Chocolate cake, Fruit cake and Scones with jam and cream; not all at once however.

janthea thick white and butter!!!

When I'm too tired to cook anything it's a whole tin of tuna with mayonnaise in a bowl with a fork. Or toast with butter, marmite and a thick layer of cream cheese with herbs. Or a peanut butter and banana sandwich on brown bread!

arty, I love peanut butter and mashed banana on brown bread. Ate great slabs of it when I was last pregnant. When the midwife told me I shouldn't eat peanuts I owned up and she just said: Oh well, never mind. Now it seems advice has changed (again), at least according to DD.

Never tried peanut butter and banana, love peanut butter and apple though. My ultimate comfort food is (look away now if you've a delicate stomach) mashed potato, baked beans and Branston pickle.

Mashed banana on toast topped with marmalade. If you don't believe me, try it. Alternatively, raspberry jam on top.

zephrine, that mixture sounds yummy! I often add onions and sultanas to baked beans so I guess pickle is just one step up. I shall try it. Thanks for the idea.

Has anyone tried marmalade and marmite together?

Baggy love marmalade, but hate marmite! Banana sandwichs sprinkled with sugar mmmmmmm!!!

Heinz beans on brown toast.
made some marmalade from one of those tins of Seville oranges recently. It does taste gorgeous.

Chocolate covered peanuts - lots of them!

Hot buttered toast dunked in hot chocolate

Toast and marmalade with bits of cheddar cheese scattered over it!

Usually Doritos or crisps and chocolate which if it's near bedtime results in heartburn all night long!!!!!

Does anyone like peanut butter and jam on a slice of thick white bread or in a sandwich? It's lovely! Or Philadelphia cream cheese and honey sandwich made with brown bread?

I'm with Zephrine!
Also home made mashed potato with salt, pepper sauce, melted strong cheese on top with a domestic size bloody mary.
