well.
Here in Toronto, breakfast is usually at 7 am, consisting of a range of items either:
- a toasted bagel with cream cheese
- toasted whole wheat bread with peanut butter & jam
- a bowl of cold cereal
- a bowl of porridge (oatmeal or cornmeal or oatbran)
- eggs & sausages or bacon
- breakfast wrap (fried egg with cheese & ham wrapped in a tortilla shell)
All accompanied with a coffee.
This morning I had an egg mcmuffin because I was running late.
Lunch was at 11:30 for me.
I packed an egg salad sandwich on whole wheat bread. A banana, a peach and two tubs of yoghurt. Sandwhiches are pretty well common as lunches, unless there is a work function. Same goes with the kids at school. Sandwiches are prepared the night before to take in their lunch bags.
As yesterday was the United Way kickoff at work, we were all treated to a hot lunch in the parking lot which consisted of chicken souvlaki on pita.
Again, coffee or bottled water is the bevarage of choice.
Dinner is timed to occur when the family reconvenes after a day of work & school. this is typically around 6:30 PM and is served based on what can be prepared from our grocery items which are bought in bulk, once a week (tuesday evenings at the No Frills store). Last night's dinner was ravioli with a home-made tomato sauce (with chopped zuccini, onions, sausages and peppers) and a field greens salad & garlic bread made with black olive loaf.
Often i will snack before going to bed. Icecream is a favourite, and at about 10 PM I know it's bad. last night I chose swiss cheese & cured salami on french stick instead as well as a glas of red wine. After I watched the news, and read a bit, it was midnight and time for sleep.
this is pretty consistant with some other people I know from around here, with some variations in the timing.
