Watching a recent recording I made with Bob for church, I am aware the Lockdown has affected my waistline and it shows. There has been a downside to improved breadmaking skills over the last year. The Scandi tradition of Fika - a mid afternoon tea-and-cake-break hasn't helped either. Bob alerted me to a Japanese word -kuchisabishii
And if
you're wondering what is inside the magical sandwich I can reveal the
ingredients are the following:
Turkey breast; Pork; Sage and onion stuffing; Onion mayonnaise; Cranberry chutney; Bacon; Malted brown bread
I hope that with all these problems about imported foodstuffs, my friends over on the Emerald Isle are able to enjoy these. The Irish certainly understand eating mindfully. I am told that the Gaelic word for think is ceap [pronounced key-app] and the word for sandwich is ceapaire [pronounced key-app-erie]
Yes, eating mindfully. Something we should all do! I am afraid I am guilty of eating because my mouth is lonely! A sandwich with turkey and bacon actually sounds pretty good to me! But, without the stuffing and other items, please!
ReplyDeleteI have to disagree there, I really like the stuffing and cranberry sauce!
ReplyDeleteI've been mindfully eating cookies, breads and all kinds of things that are bad for me! lol I do need to work on my waistline. The winters are long here and it's always a struggle.
ReplyDeleteYUM! That sandwich sounds delicious! I too have gained weight during this past year but I am now back on track and doing much better. One thing I have noticed is that two meals or 1 meal plus a snack is actually all I need most days and that I was eating 3 meals out of habit more than anything else. It pays to take some time to actually listen to your body.
ReplyDeletekuchisabishii...says it all, really.
ReplyDeleteThat sandwich looks great to me. I had a similar one when we took our day trip to Point Roberts. It's in our county ( Whatcom WA) but surrounded on one side by the ocean and three sides by Canada. Do look it up. There was only one place open for lunch and I fancied that sandwich. Have been meaning to recreate it here for lunch but not got around to it yet!
ReplyDeleteWith all that's going on I think we can afford to forgive ourselves for a bit of extra padding. It would be nice to lose some but that requires a level of concentration and self discipline that's hard to muster atm.
ReplyDeleteReading all your comments just makes me want to make myself a sandwich!
ReplyDeleteI don't really like buying prepacked sandwiches anymore, esp with malted bread- they just taste artificial to me. I much prefer a local bakery bap or a sausage roll or something if I can't make it myself!
ReplyDeleteI think we are allowed an extra bit of padding!
I had to be weighed at the Dr's on Wedneday and I was 65kg with my jumpers and heavy boots and things on which dismayed me a bit! I hope I'm not really that much otherwise something has happened in the last few weeks!
