Would I be weird to get some pasta?

I felt very peckish so I prepared some pickled vegetables, some soup, a veggie stew with bread and yogurt and cake to finish it off.
I ate all of the bread, half of the yogurt, all of the cake and some of the juice of the stew...
I didn't really enjoy it today however I do have leftover pasta from yesterday.
It's very delicious pasta with aubergines, chicken and peppers in it, it's spicy too and I have found myself craving it.
It's been about ten minutes since I ate my meal.
Normally I find myself getting up in the night to make some food as a snack for when I can't sleep, but i'm honestly not sure whether to eat my pasta or not, especially after having just eaten yogurt and cake! Shock

Would I be unreasonable to go and get some pasta? Grin

Never ask on MN if it's weird to eat something. Eating in general is weird on MN.

The pasta recipe sounds delicious, I think I will try to make that 😊

topazdiamondsandemeralds · 13/05/2020 19:49

Also, yes stew juice is just like a broth. Just finished my pasta, I have some more cake with me and a few haribos that I will finish now... Grin

If you're not actually hungry, save it for your midnight snack?

topazdiamondsandemeralds · 13/05/2020 19:51

If you want to make my recipe also add some beans! Smile I forgot to say. But you don't have to.

To be fair @Triggahippy op said she ate all the bread, all the cake and half the yogurt, so yes on the face of it, it sounds greedy.

vera99 · 13/05/2020 19:56

This is a pretty disruptive habit to get into OP. I know I’ve been there! I think your diet sounds very refined carbohydrates esp wheat. Try switching to brown rice or eating rye or spelt bread. Too much refined wheat can cause havoc. The yogurt is great as long as not sugared and a good bedtime snack. I find shoving a small pillow under my tum at night actually stems the feeling of hunger at night.

Pickles, soup and stew? Weird meal.
But if you want it, eat it.

stew juice Envy

PP my culture has different food to yours, i'm from the middle east so yes I do eat pickled cabbage and carrots with soup. It's very nice.

@Bakedbrie Lovely advice! I made another thread here about my nighttime sleep pattern, I have struggles with hallucinations at night etc and constant worry about pregnancy, thank you for your advice. Smile

Wasn't Stew Juice one of those early Radio 1 DJs? Used to be on the pirate radio stations. Ah those were the days , Radio Luxembourg, listening under the covers at night, Keynsham, K E Y N S H A M.

Sorry just dishing up a little bowl of nostalgia, delicious.

I just tried to think of a word for the stew that doesn't have the actual food in it Blush Stew Juice was all I could think of!!
Also, pardon PP? Hmm

CorianderLord · 13/05/2020 20:16

That would be the stew liquid, not juice.

@saleorbouy

Don't eat pasta it's possibly a of the triggers of the Covid virus, one of the reasons it was so rampant in Italy perhaps?

Hands down the stupidest statement I have read so far during this crisis. You even beat Donald Trump suggesting people inject themselves with disinfectant. That’s quite a feat me friend have a Biscuit

CorianderLord · 13/05/2020 20:18

It wasn't the pickles I found weird, more that you had both stew and soup.

@saleorbouy what?

JessicaDay · 13/05/2020 20:20

It’s not about the pasta!

Samtsirch · 13/05/2020 20:22

@topazdiamondsandemeralds
What sort of beans do you add?
I love soya and broad beans, can they be added?

topazdiamondsandemeralds · 13/05/2020 20:23

@CorianderLord It was a small soup that I ate at the start, a tradition where i'm from Smile The stew was the main meal. The yogurt wasn't a sweet type, it was more of a thick, plain yogurt that you can eat with anything. It's good with pasta.

@saleorbouy
I think you are mixing pasta up with dried banana skins, you dolt.
😆😆😆

topazdiamondsandemeralds · 13/05/2020 20:24

@Samtsirch I added those slightly long, flat green beans but those sound delicious! Smile
