Food photos as promised

So occasionally I've been promising to post photos of food here. Okay, so more than occasionally. Now this is my thing, I wait and wait and wait and then BAM! Photos. So prepare for bombardment. :)

These are wonderful, wonderful brownies and passionfruit slice.
Both proudly made from a packet, brand is Melinda's. :P

Cake. Also proudly made from a packet.
This one was FreeFrom.

Cake, as above, prior to icing/frosting.
Have also made chocolate variant,
which looks the same, except brown. :)

These are my failed attempts at frittatas.
See that bit of egg coming over the side?
I may have perhaps put somewhere closer
to 14 eggs in as opposed to the 8 the
recipe recommended.....

And here we have the tins after the
frittatas came out. They really
didn't taste nice either.

Close up of chicken stew, made by mum.
It was yummy. The stew, not the close up.

Not so close up of chicken stew.

So there you go. Food for thought? These are all edible by me for the record, so not just Crohn's friendly, but fructose as well. Finally got 'round to sharing.

Introducing the new pico prep!

Pico prep? So yesterday. And so disgusting! Seriously, would rather drink vomit. Today's solution? My mother's curry!

Damn I love that stuff. And so tonight when she said 'We're having curry tonight, would you like some?', of course I couldn't really refuse. Full of delicious, spicy goodness, and full of vegies too- cabbage, carrot, onion, garlic.... Chicken added to it for the meat, and then cream for creamy goodness. Serve hot over rice. I think this is about the only meal that outdoes mashed potato for me. Though I am sad to say it is the much more consumable version of the not-so-beloved pico prep. Straight through and liquid. Though, seeing as the god Imodium has come to the rescue, I think I'll brave leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

Think I'm ready for a colonoscopy now......

Always look on the bright side of life (sing it with me!)

And now that I have that stuck in your head, on with a post! :D

So weight wise I had a bad week. In general I had a bad week. Ditched for reasons I can't fathom, sick, best mate moving to another state.... I put on half a kilo. Blergh. Must do better. Have gone back above the dreaded line I've been keeping under, and it'll take work to get back under it again.

In Crohn's news...... I'M OFF THE PRED!!!!!!!!! Dancing and jumping about like a five year old occurs! And about bloody time with that too. Took my last milligram of it yesterday, and I pity the poor fool who tries to put me back on it one day. Hopefully though if I ever need anything to stop the guts being stupid they'll have something else I can have instead. Still on the Salofalk for maintenance, but seeing as I can't really determine any side effects of that, I'm happy enough to stay on it for now.

Have been venturing into the realm of gluten free (as most gluten free stuff is wheat free, thus fructose free, thus my guts can deal with it) recently. Orgran (brand of food) is awesome, as is the Woolworths brand FreeFrom. FreeFrom have cake mixes and pizza base mixes, while Orgran just seems to have everything. :) Made a cake the other day, just to see how it came out, and really, it tasted damn similar to a cake I used to make from scratch, so not bad for a packet mix, and pretty darn good for gluten free. At some point, I promise, I will get photos of said cake and possibly other cooking ventures up here.

Am in quite a degree of pain right now, my gut is giving me hell. Went to an open day at a lapidary club (jewellry making and stone cutting/polishing type stuff), and they had a sausage sizzle. Stupid got a sausage sandwich. On bread. With onion. Stupid is currently paying for it, with what feels like my life (I will live, I assure you).

Have a job application in with a company only a street or two away (walking distance on a good day). It's for an office administrator. Half of me wants the job. Close to home, and even if I chose to move out soon it'll be an area I know. Half of me doesn't want it. That half is itching to move interstate (yes, same state as above mentioned friend). Have been wanting to go for a few years, now may well be my opportunity. *shrug* Will keep the world posted, though really, I'm sure my blatherings about moving and jobs are boring.....

Oh yeah, and I've been going to bed and waking up with rotten headaches the past few days. Aches and pains, and general illness means I'm a whingy whiney brat, but hey. I think we're all entitled to those days when we feel up to crap.
