Breakfast was a learning experience. Coffee without sugar is not so bad and I could totally get used to it. V8 tastes like a Bloody Mary, and who wouldn’t like that? The main course was lettuce wraps filled with no fat cream cheese, roasted red peppers, capers, cucumber and smoked salmon. This, in theory, sounds really tasty. However, when I imagine this dish, it is evening, I am having a glass of red wine, and the wrap is an hors d’oeuvre slightly smaller than a ping-pong ball. About half a bite. I had two wraps, each roughly the size of a burrito. It was way too rich for breakfast, and I could barely finish them. I think the aim is to turn you off of food for the rest of the day. The dogs, on the other hand, love, love, love salmon for breakfast.
Tomorrow we will try some kind of frittata.
I’m finding coffee with a little more cream than I usually would take a no sugar is reasonably drinkable, especially if we’re not talking a really dark roast.
It took about a week to like good coffee with no sugar. About a month before I could drink bad coffee with no sugar. One year on, it could be battery-acid coffee, but if it has sugar in it I can’t get through more than a couple of sips.
Good luck on that no alcohol thing though. Eeeks.
Yeah, the coffee thing is going much easier than expected. The alcohol thing – well, I didn’t sleep so well last night. Hopefully that’ll clear up in a few days…
