Work dragged today . I snacked on a Choc Banana Flax muffin for morning tea and then had this fab salad at Schmears with Adam.
Schmears is great because you just choose your ingredients and they make it up fresh for you! I chose spinach, tomato, cucumber, avocado, semi dried tomatoes, olives and beetroot. It was great but too much of the olives and semi dried tomatoes so Adam ate those. Had an apple when I got back to the office and a Freedom bar for afternoon tea.
I am famished now that I’m home but will get on to dinner because I have to eat a while before yoga starts at 7.45pm or else I just feel too bloated. Contemplating heading to the gym on the way to do 30 mins on the Elliptical…. We’ll see!

Normalement, les restaurateurs et cafetiers se sont engagés à ce que cette baisse de TVA soit répercutée essentiellement sur la baisse des consommations, ou sur l’augmentation de leurs salariés. Mais dans les faits, cela donne quoi? Vous prenez un café en terrasse aujourd’hui…le paierez vous moins cher? Ou le délicieux garçon de café aura-t-il un sourire encore plus ensoleillé grâce à l’idée de voir son salaire de juillet augmenté?Les restaurateurs s’engagent à identifier de façon lisible, à l’extérieur et à l’intérieur de leurs établissements les produits bénéficiant de la répercussion intégrale de la baisse de TVA. Que constatez-vous? Selon certaines radios lors des infos du matin, certains cafetiers ont encore les caisses enregistreuses programmées à 19.6%, et d’autres affichent clairement leur volonté de ne rien changer! Car soyons clairs, voici une nouvelle loi imposant de nouvelles régles…mais sans sanctions. Cette baisse de la TVA, claire dans son principe, ne sera pas forcément facile à constater pour les clients car si tous les restaurateurs bénéficient du nouveau taux, ils n’ont aucune obligation de diminuer leurs prix. Certes le texte et les modalités de mise en oeuvre sont complexes, certes cette mesure était réclamée par les professionnels, certes il faut positiver…mais qu’en sera-t-il vraiment pour le consommateur? Allez-vous constater des changements sur vos notes de restaurant, allez-vous changer vos habitudes? J’avoue que j’y prêterai attention les premiers temps dans mes cafés et restaurants préférés de Poitiers, mais si rien ne change…délaisserai-je mes endroits favoris? En fait, je ne crois pas!
A few weeks ago a Guardian journalist got in touch and asked whether I would contribute to a feature about what someone should do with an hour to fill over lunchtime in different cities around Britain.
They were after ideas for what to do in the centre of Sheffield, so I asked a couple of friends and we came up with – and dismissed – several possibilities:
the (too far out of town)
one of the or the (too obvious)
(very nice but not enough to do)
one of the (not very original)
a coffee at Bragazzis or the (again, both a bit out of town)
a walk past the for a sniff of the good stuff (highly recommended but all over far too quickly)
In the end I submitted the suggestion of a stroll around town to take in the poetry that can be found on various buildings. This is what appeared in Saturday’s paper:
Sheffield: lyrical streets You don’t need your head buried in a book to appreciate poetry on a lunchtime wander through Sheffield. Visitors are welcomed with Andrew Motion’s What If? … on the side of Sheffield Hallam University’s Owen building (Howard Street). Emblazoned inside the Winter Garden (90 Surrey Street) is Roger McGough’s affectionate ode to a revitalised city. There are three pieces by Benjamin Zephaniah on the metal plates of Rockingham Street student residences. Slightly further away, in brushed steel on the side of the Forge building off Boston Street, are Jarvis Cocker’s musings on student life.
I also sent them another option, which was the (perhaps slightly less culturally stimulating) idea to go down to the Kelham Island Tavern for a pint:
Sheffield: a lunchtime pint in Kelham Island
The idea of a lunchtime pint after a morning’s work might seem unremarkable but when you’re drinking local ale in the sunny beer garden of CAMRA’s national pub of the year you know it will be special. Sheffield is home to several independent breweries that proudly keep the pubs all over the city well stocked with award-winning beer, and there is always a fine range to be found at the Kelham Island Tavern. Located in Sheffield’s part-industrial real ale heartland, this lively pub is worth the 15 minute walk from town for its wonderful beer garden, good food and most importantly, a changing selection of excellent beers and ciders. Just don’t forget to go back to work later.
What would you suggest as a good idea for a lunchtime activity? Did I miss something really obvious that would have been much better?
Half of 2009 is over?! Seriously, where does the time go. Do you know, I only have 6 weeks left of work, and 7 weeks until I move? Crazy I tell ya!
So last night’s dinner at was wonderful. Not only was it good company, beautiful views, and great food, but I was all dressed up and looking pretty fantabulous. Considering I’d biked home from work, it was a miracle I made it out the door in time, not looking like a slob. I showered, did my hair, put on a face, and wore a dress (!), my sexy peep toe pumps (!) and my trench coat that I never get to wear. I even pulled out the white gold Italian necklace – fancy schmancy! So fun to get dressed up and go out to eat. Alas, I was in such a hurry, there was no time to set up a photo shoot, and Sienna isn’t good with the camera.
As for the eats – we shared a couple of appetizers – Vista Chips, which are handmade root vegetable chips with a lemon & artichoke dip, as well as the Hickory Sticks, frites with attitude. My main was the 5 oz Baseball Steak (medium rare) with the crab stuffed baked potato and asparagus. Loved! Perfect portion sizes too, and my steak was done to perfection. There were a couple of lychee martinis thrown in there somewhere, and I even went for dessert. Now, I hadn’t planned on getting dessert, but when I saw the feature menu, I knew it was a given. They had a roasted yam cheesecake, with a candied pecan crust. Um, yes please! It was like pumpkin cheesecake, but better, because it was yams. I so need to try making my own.
I know, I know, I really wish I had pics, because the food and view was beautiful, but I don’t like lugging my camera around as it’s bulky. So you’ll just have to trust me on this one.
So, let’s recap Tuesday.
I started out my morning with cereal.
GoLean Crunch with coconut and craisins.
And the usual Mango Peach Party. Gotta start the morning out right!
Although dinner the night before didn’t leave me feeling stuffed or anything, I wasn’t that hungry today. This bowl of cereal was almost too much. It made it hard to pack lunch, not being hungry. I went super simple.
Tuna sandwich on “The Big 16” bread with dill pickle relish.
Carrots and cucumber. Shocking, I know!
And a kiwi – I need my afternoon fruit.
So around lunch time, I had my tuna sandwich. Then I started in on the veggies. The carrot tasted a little weird, but not horrible. I’ve had carrots with the same flavour before, so I thought nothing of it. Well, a couple hours later, my stomach was NOT HAPPY. Plus I was getting chills, and it’s sunny and hot out! It went on all afternoon, so I passed on the kiwi. By the time I got home, all I could do was get into my pj’s and curl up on the couch under the blanket. Not cool. I don’t know exactly what caused it, but I think it was the funky carrot.
Needless to say, my appetite was off come dinner time. I had planned a tasty Indian curry, but I didn’t think that was in my best interest. So I went for my comfort/I feel like crap food – cheese and carbs. In the form of Kraft Dinner.
I found one lonely box in the back of the cupboard, and figured I should eat it up. One less thing to move!
Later on, I decided on a little snack of fresh fruit – honeydew melon and raspberries.
Wait, who’s that in eyeing up my fruit bowl?
Sienna! Long time no see! She’s been avoiding the paparazzi me and the camera lately, but when I caught her sleeping on the stove (bad!), she just glared at me while I snapped some photos for her adoring fans
I spent the rest of the evening with the furball curled up at my side while I watched tv, played some Dr Mario, and generally was a lazy ass. I had wanted to go to the gym, but seriously, the stomach pain was way too intense for that.
Well, I think it’s time I hit the sack. Tomorrow is Canada Day, so I don’t have to work. I see a bike ride & the Farmer’s Market in my future

Normalement, les restaurateurs et cafetiers se sont engagés à ce que cette baisse de TVA soit répercutée essentiellement sur la baisse des consommations, ou sur l’augmentation de leurs salariés. Mais dans les faits, cela donne quoi? Vous prenez un café en terrasse aujourd’hui…le paierez vous moins cher? Ou le délicieux garçon de café aura-t-il un sourire encore plus ensoleillé grâce à l’idée de voir son salaire de juillet augmenté?Les restaurateurs s’engagent à identifier de façon lisible, à l’extérieur et à l’intérieur de leurs établissements les produits bénéficiant de la répercussion intégrale de la baisse de TVA. Que constatez-vous? Selon certaines radios lors des infos du matin, certains cafetiers ont encore les caisses enregistreuses programmées à 19.6%, et d’autres affichent clairement leur volonté de ne rien changer! Car soyons clairs, voici une nouvelle loi imposant de nouvelles régles…mais sans sanctions. Cette baisse de la TVA, claire dans son principe, ne sera pas forcément facile à constater pour les clients car si tous les restaurateurs bénéficient du nouveau taux, ils n’ont aucune obligation de diminuer leurs prix. Certes le texte et les modalités de mise en oeuvre sont complexes, certes cette mesure était réclamée par les professionnels, certes il faut positiver…mais qu’en sera-t-il vraiment pour le consommateur? Allez-vous constater des changements sur vos notes de restaurant, allez-vous changer vos habitudes? J’avoue que j’y prêterai attention les premiers temps dans mes cafés et restaurants préférés de Poitiers, mais si rien ne change…délaisserai-je mes endroits favoris? En fait, je ne crois pas!
