I'm lovin it !

Ok,so foodiemama or not there are days when you just want a McDonalds...yes, I've said it !I have been a fan of the big yellow M ever since it opened it's first store in Dublin and BMM and Fat Freddie took us for a treat.The first thing I ever ordered was a Fillet'O'Fish but mine was actually raw in the middle so had to be sent back...the only time I have ever sent anything back in McD's. From then on I ate the Big Mac meal religiously until the Mc Chicken Sandwich arrived and I quickly converted.When pregnant with eldest son I craved the strawberyy milkshake...well I declared it a craving but truthfully I just loved them. On both occasions I was in hopsital after childbirth GASP brought me in Mc'D's and I loved him for it !Whereever we are in the world we always visit Mc Donalds once, Paris, Barcelona,New York ( where there was a guy playing a grand piano!)Eldest son is a huge fan of the chicken mc nugget Happy Meal and today was no exception. After some shopping in Drogheda I suggested the Happy Meal from the drive through but on this occasion decided to join him by buying the latest thing...the McWrap. I had seen and been listening to the mouthwatering ads on tv and radio and was dreaming of the crispy chiken wrap and today ( in the spirit of research for you my loyal fans) ordered the crispy chicken and bacon wrap, shunning the healthy grilled chicken and mango salsa one. The first remarkable thing was the packaging. The wrap was beautifully encased in a cardboard tube thing, which had a tear off strip half way down it. I duly tore off the strip to reveal a large wrap filled with fresh salad, mayo , crispy chicken strips and mayo....superb...no really...superb ! I loved it. No chips required as it was a considerable size....and we all know how important size is!There was no mess due to the ingenius packaging so I was clean and satisfied....lovely. GASP was somewhat put out that we failed to bring him home a Quarter Pounder Meal but I made it up to him by cooking a quarter pounder with smoked bacon, mayo and tomato. That was 5 hours ago and he is still full. We are about to watch American Pie the wedding...just for the ice cream scene so that we can laugh and laugh again and again.

Running Naked !

Image
Yesterday I announced the the KOK's that I would be running the Judge 6K naked. By naked I meant I was going to leave my smartphone with it's running app in my car, not have it strapped to my arm advising me of every kilometer done, telling me my average speed and generally annoying me. I really enjoyed the peace and tranquility and ran my best run yet. http://womensrunning.competitor.com/2013/01/training-tips/naked-running_9269 There's alot to be said for nudity. This, of course got us to talking about actual naked running and wondering if naked runs exist and the difficulties we larger ladies would have. I set my mind to finding out all I could. It appears there is quite a naked running following, particularly, of course, in the old USA. The favourite one is the Caliente Dare to Bare 5k , which has the added advantage of a day long pool party to help you recover. I am fairly confident that alot of cooling down takes place in that pool, but maybe also a little hottin...

Fat Friends

Image
The key to looking slim is hanging around with people who are fatter than you are.I kinda forget this and have failed to make myself look any better due to the fact that those I am most often seen with are all smaller than I. I am not suggesting that I hang around with a bunch of supermodels ( they will not be offended by this). I try to hang with the "built for comfort not for speed" type but the FA has let me down badly a) by turning into a slim person and b) by introducing an even slimmer Sparkle to the group ! And she's meant to be a friend!The Baking Queen is pregnant...thank you, the blonde declares she has put on a stone ( I am not sure but it's good of her to say) and Newly Single has a Thyroid problem...happy days !True friends ! Bigfoodiemama is too big presently. A drastic decision has been made....I will return to WW this Thursday....just before a birthday dinner out with the all of the above for the FA's birthday. I am declaring my intent so that I ha...

Hunky Dory.....NOT !

Image
It was definitely the crisps ! This is the story of a girl who will NEVER eat the green Hunky Dorys EVER AGAIN ! The poor girl ( poetic license) thought last Friday night would be a straightforward evening of chat, dancing, fun at the evening of her first cousins wedding, but it didn't exactly turn out, as she thought it would. Of course The Mad One and the FIS ( fluent Irish speaker) set the wheels in motion, when they met in Lidl and decided that the men were to be left at home, and it would be a girls night out. Again The Mad One compounded matters when she offered to drive and collect the poor girl from her home on Friday evening to make the 90 minute trip to the hotel. On the way, the crack was mighty, but being three women in a car, there had to be a loo and coffee stop, at which point FIS showed her true Irish roots, bu arriving back into the car with a selection of snacks "for the journey home". A large bag of Minstrels and Galaxy Counters ( Minstrels without the ...
