It's not unusual for me to be a slight eater most of the time and then suddenly have a few days where I need to eat everything in sight, I guess to make up for the previous weeks. I think we're hitting it -- the drinking on Friday seems to have set it off. Today I ate a big bowl of stir-fried sweet potatoes (about 2 potatoes worth) and a bunch of toast with lemon curd, some more fudge, cream of tomato soup and a demi-baguette with cheese broiled onto it, and one of those milk cakes I got at Poundland.

I've been trying to figure out if it might be more cost-effective for me to make my own spaghetti or a similar pasta, than to buy cans of it at Tesco (it's like 19p a can.) Making up a vat of some kind of sauce I actually like instead of eating this tomato crap might be a good thing -- I'm sort of famous for my hatred of marinara sauce, but I've been braving it in the name of 19p meals. I can get 5 meals for under 1 on the Tesco stuff, but a bag of noodles that's got probably 8 servings at least of noodles is about 90p to 1.10 depending where I buy it, and 350 grams of sauce is around 2.30 at Margiotta (which means probably less than that at Tesco) and likely would be cheaper still if I made my own. Cuts it close...

And here are some pictures of me ice skating and eating sushi (or actually udon noodles and duck, with a finished plate of eel nigiri next to me.) GeekyFox, Umeko and MrRhinos are also featured in the pics.
