Another Day, Another Wedding Date

[geekslave]

I definitely didn't plan on picking a third wedding date. When we changed it the first time, we discussed it and even though I was the one that picked out the date, Mike gave the okay and I really liked the idea of having our honeymoon on Valentine's Day. But Jean came to us the other day and she said that she thought we should change the date

Any processed food you buy is either going to be high in fat - usually bad trans fats - or high in sugar. Or tasteless. I can just about guarantee it.

It would be a LOT better if you just made your own food from scratch, it's not more expensive if you are careful about your ingredients (buy veg/fruit in season and choose cheap meats and breads) and include a lot of rice and beans. Okay, beans and lentils are not my favourite things, but they are cheap, fulling and nutritious. Breakfast sandwiches? Not to be rude, but it takes 5 mins to make a tasty toasted ham and cheese or an open grilled sandwich if you want to halve the carbs. Or you could put half a banana on some PB toast. Tasty and filling. Or fruit. Yoghurt. An apple and yoghurt. Boiled eggs and soldiers takes ten minutes max and is the best thing ever. Scrambled eggs, also really fast if you get good at it. And when you are too lazy for all that, a bowl of wholegrain cereal and good old milk has got to be a better choice. I'm not a fan of paleo though, so the only suggestions I can make towards that are bacon and eggs, which is not really that fast if you want to do it right.

Airfares are not insane even in school breaks if they are booked a long way in advance. Give your prospective guests as much notice as possible and no one should be bothered.

We've been trying to include more beans (and nuts) in our diet because Mike says, and I've read, that they're some of the healthiest things you can eat.

What is boiled eggs and soldiers?

I felt kind of stupid but I had to learn how to make scrambled eggs a few months ago. I've gotten pretty good at it, and I try to make that occasionally for breakfast.

That's what I figured about the airfare. We're definitely going early notice to our families of the date.

Thanks for the advice!

Boiled eggs and soldiers: soft boiled eggs, you break off the tops and dip strips of toast in the yolks. Delicious! Here in Australia, it's de riguer to put vegemite on the toast to add more salty goodness to it all. The easiest meal ever.

Thanks, sounds good. I definitely know Mike would like it. He's been boiling a lot of eggs for his breakfast lately.
