Pop Quiz - Meal Edition

Pop Quizzzz

What did I have for an evening meal.

a. Fuji Apple
b. Braeburn Apple with Fat Free Crackers (apple was very tart - fuji and gala much better)
c. Denon Fat Free Yogurt
d. Glass of Gourmet Hot Tea

Answer: E - All of the Above.

Earlier I had some smoked salmon and a super HOTTTT serrano chili pepper which I thought of as dinner. But now I'm attempting to eat 6 small meals a day rather than 3.

What are these meals called?

Since I've been labeled a labeler, I am trying to attempt to label all these meals.
There is Breakfast (almost always some oatmeal and meds). Lunch (some sort of sandwich). Dinner. Usually a semi healthy meal like fish or something low in fat.
But what are the inbetween meals called?
Everybody knows Brunch.
What is some midafternoon sushi called? Linner? I have actually already used this term for years.
But what is the few hours after dinner fruit or fish? Extended Dinner? since it is really an extension of the dinner meal. Dinfast? since it is in between dinner and breakfast. Late snack? since it is late and more of a smaller meal.

6 meals a day is hard to do. I think it will be more like 5

I also made an Angel Food Cake experiment tonight.
I put some vanilla in it. going to make a lemon one next and an almond one after that.

Meds Taken

Meds Taken....
Gone are the One Pill Days....

Now I take quite a few daily pills....

was told if I miss a dose of one of them I could die... death...

I really don't know which I find more interesting...
Blood Thinners...Beta Blocker.

They both have a fascinating effect on me...
One makes me bruise and bleed easily the other causes low heart rate and bp...

I never really had a blood pressure problem, it was almost always 118/78 or something very close to that.
Now I'm having 110/60 or 96/50.
In Hospital the other day when I was awoke to get vitals and blood my heart rate was 53.
of course everytime they stuck a needle in me it bled and bruised.
My stomach where I got the shot of Lovenox is still bruised the size of a baseball
My arm where I did a blood test on Thursday is bruised.
So these meds have quite an effect.

Coming Soon... Diet posts... I've become quite the healthy cook lately...
