OT - LOL I can't believe what I am doing....

I didn't get a lot of sleep last night, and was awake at 5 AM with lower back pains (I think the discs are acting up again) and laying on a heating pad for a while. However, I couldn't go back to sleep, so I got up and dressed... let the dogs out for a few minutes, and have been doing catch-up on the newsgroups (almost finished too, I am impressed).

Now... a few minutes ago I was thinking that it is a bit cool in the house, so I turned the furnace on to take the chill out of the air. Realized that I was feeling a bit hungry, being that I didn't have supper last night... and without looking at the time I put the leftover boiled navy beans on the stove to reheat. So now I am sitting here eating a bowl of boiled navy beans and just realized the time.... 9:45 AM. LOL Hey, it will warm me up anyway!

Peace! Gemini

Oh I know... my second sister would eat cold pizza and pepsi for breakfast if we had some left over from the night before. YUCKY!!! My bean breakfast was *totally* unintentional. I didn't think of the time, and just went with being hungry. LOL

Now what is strage about eating cold pizza for breakfast ? - yum. (sometimes I do take time to heat it - but I usually do snarf up any leftovers the next morning) My dad's favorite breakfast was fried fish and apple pie. Of course, he would have taken that for lunch and supper as well, I suspect.

I like breakfast best of all the meals of the day - and I usually get breakfast when eating at places that serve it all day.

sounds like me if I get up too early I think I get bored then and wondering what to do to make the time go...usually get dressed and take the dogs for a walk, which they don't mind at all, I grab a banana and eat that whilst walking around the fields...then in the second field I walk across to the allotments where a friend of mine has some goats and shove the banana peel into their cage...then I come home and have cereal and toast and coffee and out in the garden if the weather is fine enough..

Hi Gemini,

I don't think that's strange at all. When my daughter was a baby, I saw a show about nutrition for children on which a doctor insisted that the body will ask for what it needs if we train it to do so. Therefore, children should not be taught that certain foods are for certain times of the day or taht some are good and some are bad. The doctor was eating vegetable soup for breakfast and his toddler daughter was sitting beside him with a bowl of gummi bears.

Now I can't go that far, but my daughter is now 13 and does eat a very good variety of foods at her own choosing, even vegetables. She almost never has "breakfast food" for breakfast.

I've had a very nice day, thank you! The sun was shining beautifully all day... the wind is a bit chilly though... and the sky is clear and blue.

I went up to the Post Office and bank, then came home and had a nice hot shower with no interruptions (Matthew has gone away for the weekend, so he wasn't here to pound on the door needing to use the washroom. LOL). Since then I have been sitting here in my pajamas with my hair pulled back like a ponytail and wrapped in a towel to blot dry.

My meals have gone in reverse today... starting with the boiled navy beans for brunch, angelfood cake for lunch (Nora, I managed to push myself away from it. LOL), a popsicle this afternoon, and now.... I am having cereal. hehehe Totally backwards today!

Peace! Gem>> I didn't get a lot of sleep last night, and was awake at 5 AM with lower

It was a little too nippy outside for me to sit outside today... but like I said in another message, I have had a totally backward day when it came to my meals. LOL

You know what? I think you've hit on something... I was very likely bored and that is why I even ate that early... I don't usually. I am usually busy doing something else to start the day... and often don't get around to eating until about 2:30 PM. Guess I'd better find something to keep me busy tomorrow morning so I don't do the same thing again. ;o)

I will eat leftover pizza *zapped* for a couple of seconds to eat it up, for lunch... but I can't even look at it in the morning. Actually I am not much of a breakfast eater at all... neither is Matthew. Until I had Matthew I wasn't even much of a morning person at all... having a baby tends to change your sleeping habits, doesn't it? LOL Now I am a morning person... I love seeing the sunshine first thing in the morning, but I still don't eat breakfast. Once in a great while I might have a banana or a piece of toast and tea... but that isn't usually until about 10:30 AM or so.

Matthew, on the other hand is NOT a morning person... he grumbles and takes a good hour to wake up completely... and he does not eat breakfast at all... ever!

Peace! Gemini

Hi Joy,

My parents (and me too) were firm believers in not teaching children that any food is good or bad. When my brother was about two weeks old and the nurse came around to visit and check on him, she told my parents to feed him so many ounces of milk per feeding. My Dad looked at her and laughed and said "Would you like him to eat my arm too? I gave him a taste of boiled navy beans and potatoes mashed up in the bowl last night while we were eating supper." She was shocked and said "You can't and shouldn't feed that sort of thing to a new baby!" My Dad said "If we only fed him that tiny bit of milk you want us to feed him he would starve. We were eating supper, I mashed some up and gave him a taste and he liked it so much he was opening his mouth for more... so he got more." She told him it would give the baby gas and he told her that it had.. that the baby almost blew his leg off while sitting on his knee. LOL When they told the doctor later what they had fed my brother, he said... if he liked it and had no problem with it, let him have it. That nurse sticks far to much to the RULES that she learned instead of letting people use their instincts like people have been doing for many many years.

Matthew also had mashed up adult food when he was a baby. I just made sure each thing was introduced one day at a time to make sure he wasn't having a problem with any of it... and he loved it all. In fact the only baby food he liked was the jars of pureed fruit. He didn't like those vegetables, but he loved the "adult" vegetables mashed up. Matthew has always loved raw vegetables, and fruit (although he doesn't eat as much fruit as he does vegetables). He would be exceedingly happy if we had vegetable sticks and dip three times per week.

He also loves mushrooms, liver, dill pickles... all foods that I cannot stand... because when he was given them when he was very young, I didn't make any comments (or faces) about how I thought they were horrible. My parents loved mushrooms and liver, and my sister loves dill pickles and that's how he was introduced to those things. I never said "Oh don't give him that... that's yucky." I just let it happen to see how he would react to them, and he loved them all. Mind you... I just found out this week (thank you for the recipe Katherine... I finally tried it) that he doesn't like boiled navy beans. No problem... I don't like some things either!

I have to admit though... I'm with you on the child eating gummi bears for breakfast. Candy?!? Fruit, vegetables... yes, no problem... but I would be drawing the line at candy, or ice-cream, etc.

Peace! Gemini

Gemini that is just fine - I get up at such irregular hour that I am likely to have something and call it lunch - on the other hand if I get hungry again later I will back track and call the first helping breakfast.

I agree with Mathew - I am not a morning person and absolutely never ate breakfast until I was ill that time and ever since I cannot wait for breakfast as soon as I get up - but it does sometimes take on strange shapes !! So beans are just fine God Bless Gwen

Glad you liked the navy beans, Gem. I agree with Matthew, though, and don't care for them. But Keith loves them, so I cook them for him. Alec - the only child I raised from infancy - eats everything. The others are picky, picky, picky. Well, Vanessa is not too bad, as she was only 2 when I got her, but Rob and Lori are incredibly picky.

As soon as they started cooking properly and the smell was wafting through the air... I had a big smile on my face remembering when my parents used to boil them. It had been YEARS since I had any... possibly when Matthew was tiny, but I am more apt to think it was even before he was born at all. Comfort food... brought back some good memories!! :o)
