Pancakes and sausage (Jimmy Dean).

I just had some pancakes on a stick, which are kind of like “corndogs,” in that there’s a pre-cooked pork sausage link in the middle, and then it’s dipped in pancake batter and has a wooden stick in it.

These are frozen like you find corndogs in the supermarket, except they’re pancakes.

I dip them in syrup, and have them for breakfast. I just follow the package directions for heating them up in the oven.

Actually they’re more like Mallomars than moon pies.

I love these!!

They are some of my favorite kinds of chocolate-covered cookies/biscuits! ❤️ 😋

I think that some of the companies that make them call them “marshmallow pinwheels,” because they’ll shape them like round wheel shapes, and they’re made with that soft marshmallow center.

Those are sooo good!!!
 
Vegemite then! 😉

I’ve eaten marmite on one slice of bread for breakfast for decades. Mainly to avoid having sugar and milk on flakes etc. It’s good but…sometimes a change is as good as a rest as they say.

Funnily enough apparently the ancient Greeks had a joke about the Spartans. They said that the reason why the Spartans were so fiersome and brave in battle and didn’t mind dying because of it was because they only ever ate pigs blood! It’s a point. (Boring!)

Now vegemite is just gross.

I love marmite on toast in the morning. I’m not always a fan of breakfast but since I make the kids eat breakfast, the kids make me eat breakfast.
 
I agree, years ago eating first thing made me feel a little sick. But I did need the energy so I forced myself.

How are the tremors today? I’m told you have many mini tremors a day there by a kiwi in my church, a good friend actually and very well educated by Irish nuns in NZ in the forties. He’s 86! Though you wouldn’t know it.
 
Thankfully here in the North island it is not to bad. Although sometimes I do get a fright when I see my chandelier in the living room swaying side to side.
 
Got to love those Irish nuns. They taught my Dad to read when I was 5 he realised he couldn’t help me with my homework so he went out and did something about it.
 
Wow. That’s a good father. Not always easy to learn something new as an adult like that. That’s really nice.

My friend said that they were very strict. Then again so we’re my teachers in the UK. And I learnt fast at junior school and paid attention to the ruler being waved about! I think perhaps it’s something you can appreciate more in hindsight, when the swelling has gone down!
 
After a week of sick kids and not being well myself I couldn’t be bothered cooking dinner last night so I brought pizza and lemonade for dinner (oh no I’ve become lazy)
 
I bought two little tubs of mixed fresh fruit for next to nothing and enjoyed them very much, melon, grape and something else I couldn’t identify.

Also a pan au chocolate and a coffee with two sweeteners (diet) (they gave me a pedometer! Suppose to do ten thousand steps a day! Why would I do that?)
 
Just a rant @Lee1, this is not targeted at you. Just a rant in general especially the things that pass as general wisdom with regards to health and fitness but actually do not have any scientific merit.

What is particularly special about 10,000 steps a day? Nothing. Obviously walking more is beneficial to health but it need not start with 10,000 steps. Just more steps than the usual.

The 10,000 steps a day came from Japanese pedometers sold during the 60s with the name manpo-kei meaning 10,000 step meter.

Just a rant. I really don’t like certain ideas that seem to get a lemming like adherence. One idea is that of BMI as a measure of health although it does not distinguish between muscle and fat, and another is the 10,000 steps rule.

Nothing particularly scientific about getting 10,000 steps in.

It is healthy to walk more though but with snow and ice blanketing the roads right now, it can be kind of dangerous to walk in dangerously cold weather and sub-zero wind chills.

I agree, perhaps I should print out your post and present it to my dietician. When he said ten thousand steps I remembered reading recently that it was myth.
When I was weightlifting I put on a lot of weight but wasn’t fat, I think muscle also weighs three times more than fat.

Also I pointed out that quite a bit of my weight was caused by brains cells.
And no one ever accounts for the weight of iron tablets!

I’m going to walk a bit more than I have but, yes, it’s cold and wet at this time of the year…brrrrr.

You know marmite here is almost five pounds a jar! That’s about a hundred dollars I think 🤔
Postage would be about £20 probably.

But hey, maybe this is a gap in the market? Maybe …you were…born for this! (That’s my impersonation of William …Shatner.)

Walk in the cold. Come in to hot cocoa. 😋

I do 2000 steps a day. I use the Step Tracker app and love it.
 
When I was a vegan, I suffered from anemia so severe that doctors were talking about a blood transfusion. (Cue the vampire jokes here 🙃)

I ended up getting prescribed iron tablets that had so much iron it was magnetic.

I was also ordered by my parents to eat eggs and drink milk.

so. I’ve never been tempted to become a vegan though I can see the attraction of being pale and mysterious. Lounge much?
