Today and tomorrow we are Cherrymembering Apply. This month a brief 2 day summer pie season is all that is allowed.

Certainly a meat pie for breakfast is a must. Beef and apple rissoles with oven fries potatoes and steamed vegetables will be on the plate for one evening meal. The other will be composed of egg and bacon puff pastry pie with oven fries potatoes and salad. Our pancakes are served with steamed apples and ice cream. Apply is just as it sounds – many fresh apples a day help keep the weight away.

Today we are Cherrymembering soup. It keeps the hand busy going from bowl to mouth: not smoking.

Any soup is allowed, be it thick or thin composition. As much soup as is wanted is the correct amount to have. The task is to watch television, rewatch favourite movies or reruns of television series.

Today and tomorrow we are Cherrymembering Pearn. As well as plenty of fresh pears, any sort of food that may be eaten with a spoon features in this eating theme. If meats such as steak, lamb or chicken are wanted they may be eaten, so long as they are chopped up and served in a bowl, of course better with steamed vegetables. However, this is the month where a respite from steamed vegetables may be taken. All sorts of soups are tried out in the bowl. Our pancakes feature steamed pears and ice cream.

Today we are Cherrymembering a trivial but difficult task which is to study the smaller body shape. Make some observations about the changes. The reality is the smaller body shape still has the same bones. It does not look like a Vogue magazine model’s and it is likely it never will. It still has some rolls of fat left and that is fine.

What has changed is there are definitely less rolls of fat left, compared to this time last year, and to compared to this time several years ago.

What has not changed is the essential “me” is still present. I look in the mirror and see a smaller “me”, not somebody else.

Today and tomorrow we are Cherrymembering Mayndarin. Fresh mandarins are a fond memory because they are out of season at this time of the year. As well as cherries we will enjoy some extra serves of stone fruits instead. Pan fried lean chicken cooked in Cajun spices and served with oven fries potatoes, commercial brand Hollandaise finishing sauce and steamed vegetables are on the Mayndarin plate. The star vegetable is pumpkin each night with other vegetables rotated.

Freshly chopped thyme features as Wattle’s weight warrior herb in Maynadrin. Some suppers may include Joan’s savoury, a dish with a small serve of cheese, an egg and large amounts of tomato, onion, bacon and chopped thyme cooked on toast for 12 minutes in a moderate oven.
