ravenous

my appetite has spontaneously un-suppressed itself and is back with a vengeance. i blame the cold.

so far today, i've eaten 400g of pork with honey and garlic sauce (thank you, lee kum kee), enough potatoes to fill a batallion of hungry marines, 200g of chocolate covered digestives, 250g of egg noodles with sauteed aubergines, sesame oil and caviar (yeah i know, so weird!), an orange, an apple, a big bag of nonsense japanese chips and some cheese. oh! and washed it all down with 1litre of pear cider. oops. also, i know the weight of the food i ate because that's what it said on the packets.

my overdose of meat always begins the same way. i cook enough for four people, intending to keep the remainder for the next two meals. then my gluttony gets the better of me, as does my sloth, and i end up too lazy to keep the rest and polish the lot, promising myself that i won't eat anything else for the next two days.

in an attempt to stave off hunger tomorrow, i also made pork stock with the few pork bones i had and am using it to boil porridge for breakfast. with dried scallops. it's all sitting happy in my mini crock and when i wake up tomorrow i should have some seriously soft diet food.
