    Oops - I never reported yesterday's food.

    7am: coffee
    12pm: rice with yogurt and balsamic
    5:30pm: 3 servings rice pasta with basil pesto and parmesan (I was drowning my sorrows in garlic, and it was sooooo yummy and satisfying ), 2 fruit creme cookies
    9pm: ground cherries, grapes and chocolate wafer cookies

    thanks Zana

    how do you make the yoghurt+balsamic thing? how much of each do you add?

    Mocha - don't feel bad about a bit of garlic, you still get lots of girls being born in Italy!

    Speaking about Italy, I had my italians inlaws over and now I am completely wondering how on earth girls get conceived there because my mil drowns EVERY single vegetable, pasta or meat she cooks in loads and loads of olive oil and salt!

    (I know she´s not representative of the entire italian population and its the changes to persons routine that counts, but still)

    I asked Atomic about the Italian gender ratio once because DH has work colleagues there who guzzle double espresso after double espresso - and she told me that they have more boys than average there because their diet is so fantastic for fertility! So, you're observations were right

    Yes, change your ticker, Z!!!!

    rainbow - to make the rice/yogurt balsamic, I take 1 cup of cooked, plain white rice, add about 2 TBSP of plain fat free yogurt, then a squirt or two of balsamic for flavour. Sometimes I use lemon juice instead of balsamic.

    I agree about garlic not being the end of the world - I tend to indulge in it a couple times a month at least, and I may up that to once a week if I have to continue this diet for a lot longer.

    My brother married into an Italian family from Milan (they've since gotten divorced). It was a family of 3 girls, and I know that since then my former SIL has remarried and had another girl. One thing I'll say about the Italian diet is that they don't eat a lot of meat - in the north, at least. Pasta is always the main part of the meal, and meat is usually a tiny portion served as a side or as part of the pasta. My SIL used to think that our portions of meat - a big steak or a double burger - were vulgar.

    When we went on holiday to Tuscany we ate nothing but meat (and lord only knows what type of meat - eek!). The thing hard to come by was potatoes!

    Interesting - I spent a week in Tuscany about 10 years ago, and I barely had any meat. Then again, I was travelling on a student budget....
