Hungry today. It was cold this morning here, and I am hungrier when it's cold.

pre-papers:
crappy instant oatmeal. Tea.

post-papers:
2 bran toast with melted 7% cheese on top and organic ketchup.
1 buckwheat waffle - couldn't resist - with real maple syrup on top.

more tea.

Lunch will be:

Leftover Kima. (potatoes, vegetables in with ground beef, a kind of stew with curry.)

Dinner.... maybe soup. Need to make some soup. Or maybe I should save the Kima for dinner and make soup for lunch. Hmmm. Have lots of leeks in the garden that need to be dug out... Leek and Lentil soup is good.
