breakfast -  a pear and a granny smith apple

lunch - tuna on whole wheat

dinner - brussel sprouts and a potato

Tried a McChicken today. Fucking gross. (Like all their other shit "food", really.)
I always liked the Big Mac, but they've gotten cheap with it these days.
It's now small enough to be held in just one of my little Weeble hands.  :(
for some reason i really like the McRib. I really usually dont like BBQ sauce or anything from McDonalds, but there is something i really like about that
Eris, since you eat a fair bit of fruit, I hope you stay away from grapefruit. That is one thing you shouldn't eat when taking Tegretol.

I ate cereal (Weet-Bix)
A chicken roll and chips (could have done without the chips but oh well).

"Eris, since you eat a fair bit of fruit, I hope you stay away from grapefruit. That is one thing you shouldn't eat when taking Tegretol."

I did some research late last year on drug/grapefruit inteactions.  It seems you can eat grapefruit, just not drink the juice.  There are chemical compounds in the rind that are squeezed out and into the juice by the high pressure commercial juicers.  It's these compounds that interact with the drug. 

So eating  :thumbup:
Drinking :thumbdn:

Sausage McGriddle, since they're $1 promo now.  Trying different meals to see how they affect my blood sugar.  Was surprised that it didn't elevate it more.  (I'm not relying on just one reading, but will take 3 or 4 and see how the food does overall.)

Made and ate a simple pasta dish. Kinda like a 'bolognese light' version. Was nice.

I didn't know about the juice of it. Was told by my doctor not to eat it, he said a lot of people found out about this interaction when grapefruit diets were popular. Am guessing a lot of people were drinking the juice as well. My rl friend is taking Tegretol too and it is good she doesn't like grapefruit either.

Ate this dish for supper. Beef roll (filled with little bit of shallot, carrot, leek, garlic and basil/all chopped up very finely) with stewing pears, broccoli and mashed potatoes. Needless to say.... (um)

Some pre-made potroast that I added mushrooms and canned veggies to.  Was going to serve it with mashed potatoes, but was out, so had it with cornbread dressing.  Not the greatest, but not the worst.
