Nobody here needs to see the spaghetti that was the main. But for any Aussies who love a good ol’ snot block- give the custard & Jatz combo a try 😍

Baked ziti, garlic bread, magic cup, yogurt, cottage cheese, grapes, fruit punch, orange kool-aid, a salad with ranch and a piece of peach pie

1. afternoon snack. some of the nurses do these super cute doodles on our plates, it weirdly makes it easier to eat. 7/10 i like the taste & texture of these bars but straight up drinking milk is ehhh..

2. some unidentified white fish with english parsley sauce (served with mashed sweet potatoes, cauliflower, and … 0.75 of a roast potato? I mean I’ll take it). 5.5/10, the sauce was so flour-y and bland, the flavour profile seems completely different to all the recipes online

3. current breakfast on my meal plan. theres supposed to be only one apple but they’re claiming that the “apples are too small so you need two to fulfil the “fruit” section of your meal plan“. on one or two occasions there have been golf ball sized apoles where I’d understand it, but these are larger than tennis balls, cmon. 1 serve of weetbix, 1 serve of porridge and toast with vegemite. 6/10, the porridge is bad without sweetener and I’ve been getting in trouble for sneaking it in before oops so that takes points out. the apple situation is not ideal, and they made me take my toast out of the toaster bc it was ”getting too dark” which apparently is an ED behaviour (ie, ruining food as an excuse to not eat it). EXCUSE YOU i just prefer toast to warm bread.

4. nice muesli bar and cute message :] 8/10 bc its scary eating stuff where you can see the macros on it and your mind spirals.

5. current lunch on this meal plan.

AGAIN WITH THE APPLES. it supposed to be just one. anyway, tiny teddies, soy milk, and an 8pt sandwich with hardboiled eggs, avocado, and salad. (hospital language for 8 small sandwich triangles. idg why they dont just say “2.5 bread slice sandwich) (also for sandwiches you always have to choose a fat, like either butter, margarin, mayo, or avo)

7/10 bc theres just straight up not enough time for me to finish in the time limit we‘re given and only barely just avoid getting the Punishment Milkshake.

6. an attempt at chicken provençal, served with corn, diced pumpkin, and another .75 roast potato. 1/10. in ED inpatient we‘re allowed to pick three foods/ingredients we can always refuse no matter what (within reason). I hadnt heard of chicken provençal before and since I knew I wouldn’t like the other dishes, I asked my dietician what was in it and she was like “oh it’s like a french chicken one pot sort of thing with tomato and herbs“ which I thought sounded lovely, turns out olives are one of the main ingredients, and bc of the evil gross nature of olives, you can’t just pick them out, their evil oil permeates all that is around them. PLUS if I didn’t want to get the Punishment Milkshake I had to eat them all. so yeah. bad

hope ur all keeping well!!
