Every morning, I have a coffee to wake up my system, but I don’t think you should eat just because it’s a meal time, so I often won’t have breakfast until late morning.
For busy young adults, the lure of meal substitutes is simple – it’s all about convenience – the level of effort to open a bottle or package is minimal, and the time from thinking you’re hungry to eating is almost zero.
The way to anybody’s heart is through a thoughtfully-prepared, beautifully-executed, lovingly-presented meal.
I have this concept that I call ‘Combo Meals.’ The idea is that I start with the kids’ meal and then add a few more ingredients, and it becomes the adult meal. This way I’m not making two entirely separate dishes. I’m just simply adding on to what I’m already making.
I love the idea of farm to table and farmer’s markets. I enjoy a meal more if I know I’m eating something that’s good quality and good for me.
I need to eat a large meal before I play, and the one thing that was kind of consistent in every single clubhouse at least in the minors was a roast beef sandwich. So that kind of stuck there, and it just kind of stuck in the big leagues as well.
I was the meal delivery coordinator for Clarke County for Meals on Wheels.
When I was growing up, there were just the three channels, so as a nation we all sat down to the same meal at the end of the day. Now there’s been this explosion.
I’m not opposed to a fancy meal, but I’ll take a picnic any day… food and nature? Sign me up.
I’m a huge fan of ‘Buffy,’ ‘Angel’ and ‘Doctor Who.’ People like Joss Whedon, Russell T. Davies, and Steven Moffat are really amazing about making you feel like you had a complete meal and yet leaving you hungry for more.
I’m a mum and I hate the thought of any child going a whole day at school without a healthy meal.
We lived near a supermarket, and whatever they threw away, we would get it, and my mother would make soup. Or she would get a big can of lard, a big can of meal, a big can of flour, a big can of beans, and fix the same meal for months.
It’s about making small changes at first and adding foods to your diet before you take any away; start with one extra vegetable or fruit at every meal, and hey, presto, that’s 21 portions a week.
Anything is possible on a train: a great meal, a binge, a visit from card players, an intrigue, a good night’s sleep, and strangers’ monologues framed like Russian short stories.
Despite my strict, healthy diet when mired within my regular routine, when I venture in a explorative fashion for a meal, it’s all out, no-holds barred, dessert, and drinks, the whole nine.
I had a meal in Pizza Hut and the waitress told me I didn’t need to pay. So I decided to be a bit cheeky and ask for more pizza and garlic bread.
Being a mom, I can’t imagine my child not having a meal. That’s hard to digest.
I want to make vegetables a bit cooler and help people see them as something that can be an interesting, delicious addition to any meal, but that doesn’t mean you should feel you only need to eat broccoli!
Real connection and intimacy is like a meal, not a sugar fix.
I once attended a birthday party where Danny Kaye dropped in to entertain the birthday boy and his guests; I was sometimes taken for lunch on Saturdays by my father to The Brown Derby; and my favorite meal is still the Cobb salad in the Polo Lounge of the Beverly Hills Hotel.
I love brunch. Brunch is my favorite meal.
Breakfast is my favorite meal. I cook a big one for everyone – bacon and eggs. I own a lot of eggcups.
The mid-day meal is a well-intentioned scheme and has to be implemented effectively.
Chefs don’t eat at normal hours, so the only time you feel like you really need a meal is after service, when you’re exhausted and just crave something to help you wind down.
My advice is before a big ride, eat a meal 2 hours or so before, to allow you to digest and process it, and without being crude, try to get to the toilet before.
I like going to the cinema or theatre, followed by a meal and cocktails. I’m typically home by midnight; I used to be a raver but not now, unless I’m on the boys’ trips to Vegas, Dubai or Miami.
Pre-workout meal, I eat eggs over toast with cheese because I need that protein before I work out.
Because its hard to realize now that that was the end of the great depression, you know. All of a sudden all of this is in front of me and I’m solvent, you know. I’m making some money and I know where my next meal is coming from, and I have a new pair of shoes and that’s it.
For everyday, we like Beaujolais, Grenache or Syrah, and we like a lot of it! It’s a family tradition: We would never consider having a meal without wine.
I don’t overeat. I only eat one meal a day… but my body has been one of those that has almost perfect assimilation, so everything I eat is assimilated, not lost.
Dinner is a great first date. Don’t believe that stuff about girls not wanting to eat on a first date – sharing a romantic meal is so sexy.
My favorite meal would have to be good old-fashioned eggs, over easy, with bacon. Many others, but you can’t beat that on a Sunday morning, especially with a cup of tea.
My parents made a great sacrifice to make sure that we had something wonderful at Christmas, and through the help of the state and others, we were able to have a good meal.
Whenever I go out with a girl for a meal, I’m recognised, and I hear, ‘That’s Chad’s girl,’ before anyone even approaches for a picture. I can’t take arrogance and rude behaviour, and I really get a lot of it.
There’s a value to getting the meal on the table every night, and there’s a value to being an old-school kind of parent.
There are restaurants you can go in and pay $100 a person for a meal. I get as much satisfaction out of paying $25.
Once you start thinking of different dishes in terms of how they’re heated, you quickly realize that the key to successfully pulling off a big meal is to diversify. If you plan on five casseroles and a turkey, you’re gonna run out of oven space. Don’t do it!
The key to a good meal is simplicity and the right seasoning.
Well, I look at it like this: When you go to a restaurant, the less you know about what happens in the kitchen, the more you enjoy your meal. If the soup tastes good, everything’s cool, and you don’t necessarily want to know what’s in it. The same thing holds true with movies.
I wake up in the morning quite excited by the notion that I get to immediately have a meal. That’s the thing that gets me out of bed – just the thought of having a poached egg, or even some granola.
Anytime I prepare a meal for my family, I am putting all of my time, effort, energy, and love into it.
Breakfast is the most important meal for me. I love porridge, which I have with water, and some fruit, usually raspberries or melon. And I drink hot water with lemon and green tea.
I wholly promote the omelette as a meal whatever the occasion, especially your last one.
If I have a day off, I want to get on a plane and go to Paris! If I have a couple hours off work, I want to run to the market and make a four-course meal. I like to do things that are unexpected.
I get satisfaction out of making a meal for people that I love and having them enjoy it. But there’s not really anything in my life that I do that’s just for me that feeds my soul like music does.
And then it was working with Bob Hoskins, who I had never worked with before – except radio. It was like being given a wonderful meal – full of the things you love most.
I used to dream about being able to sit at a table with another human being, have a normal conversation, and have a meal with normal cutlery, and have normal moments.
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
There’s a certain safety net that you find in the military that, as dangerous as it is, you know they’re going to provide you a meal and a home no matter what happens.
I love pancakes, and I actually do love healthy stuff. Like, I love gluten-free or whole-wheat pancakes. Breakfast is my favorite meal.
We have had the exact same meal for Thanksgiving and Christmas since I can ever remember, and it’s so simple. It’s just turkey and mashed potatoes and green beans and stuffing. Just the basics, but it’s so good.
Going out for a meal, especially for young urbanites, is less about socialising over enjoyable food than about enjoying food as a way to socialise.
One cheat meal is fine, but keep it at one, because if you do another, then it’s a slippery slope.
I shall not miss the hectoring and backbiting and the lack of generosity towards fallen foes, but I will miss the sheer clubability of parliament. If one fancies a coffee or a meal or a drink then it is always possible to find at least one person out of 646 whose company is congenial.
For those of us who are lucky enough to not worry about where our next meal is coming from, it can be difficult to consider a life where the choice and supply of what you eat is extremely limited.
I just want to be there for my husband. I don’t ever want him to think that he’s not getting everything at home – love, attention, encouragement, a meal. I just want him to feel the best he feels at home. I think that’s what a good wife is. Someone who is very attentive to her husband.
