What did you eat for your hair today?

Healthy greens and legumes.

Haven’t eaten much yet today but I plan on having salami, veggie soup, popcorners chips and later I want to have peanut butter with a snack!!

So far I have had delicious millet porridge with dried apricots, pecans, cashews, honey and milk. So good because I make it at home and pile the apricots and nuts on, no skimpy little store bought fragments.

Nefcerka, we hadn't seen you on the threads for a while! So glad to see you again.

Today, I've had pork with a creamy cheese sauce, and some creamy egg stuff with a little bit of tomato mixed in.

Interesting. Your meal today sounds yummy!

My findings on skyr:

Ísey skyr is produced by MS Iceland Dairies and sold all over Scandinavia, Europe, and even Japan and Hong Kong. There is also another type of skyr produced in Iceland known as KEA skyr, which is less creamy and more firm, like the consistency of mozzarella cheese. The dairy that made KEA skyr merged with MS back in 2007, but since KEA was very popular, MS Dairies continues to make and sell it.

A couple of American entrepreneurs visited Iceland around the turn of the century and fell in love with skyr. They wanted to bring it to the US, so they formed a partnership with MS Dairies and created Icelandic Provisions in 2013. It was going to be sold at Whole Foods Market, an organic grocery chain here in the States. However, Whole Foods is very strict with what they sell: they don't allow artificial sweeteners, for example. Since the MS Dairies skyr recipe contained sweeteners, it didn't pass the test. MS had to create a new recipe using just sugar, and that skyr is the skyr sold by Icelandic Provisions.

There are some Icelanders in America who think Icelandic Provisions is horrid because they aren't used to the sugar instead of sweeteners. Others think it's fine, and a few are pining for a KEA-type skyr.

Interesting to hear that about skyr in America!

Hey, we have that all the way down here in NZ, about as far away from Iceland as you can get! And, yes, ours have the artificial sweeteners, too, which I thought was rather disappointing since their big advertising point is the nature and pureness in Iceland. At least we have the volcanoes in common with them!

Yep, but then again, most advertising is disappointing these days, lol! Or have I just become too cynical?

Diverse sallad and green puree soup. Also because it makes me so well-being and awake.

Thank you dear



Today I didn't have time for breakfast, sadly, so I had to opt for a quick-fix, the whey protein shake. But the main meal was very nutritious and satisfying - homemade chili. And had some custard with banana for dessert.

My family made chili yesterday, too! Texas chili—no beans allowed.

Aw, I sort of count on beans to double the amount of chili, ground up beef costs about eleventy million dollars!

Today I had salad: White cabbage, red apple, carrot, baby beetroot, mint and dressing. A cheese, Marmite and lettuce sandwich.
A can of horrible Sweet Chili Tuna with rice crackers, which I felt was more like a punishment for getting fat rather than a meal I would ever want to eat again. Blech!
Yummy Raspberry Lemonade flavour Greek yoghurt.
