lentil moussaka

thursday dinner:

well, a chilled out dinner tonight - i was watching desperate housewives on tv - last week was the pilot episode of desperate housewives and i only managed to catch the first half of it. it's an entertaining show - although i'm not as impressed as i thought it would be, as desperate housewives has been getting a lot of attention lately. however, i think it might have been overhyped.

anyway, i heated up a vegetarian lentil moussaka which i bought at woolworths a few days ago. the packaging says that the lentil moussaka "is crated to assist in achieving a healthy vegetarian lifestyle".

i need to actually write the way they describe the vegetarian lentil moussaka, as i couldn't do it nearly as well: "slices of caamelised aubergine layered with a rich combination of lentils and tomato, all topped with a creamy, yet light bechamel sauce." poetic. i haven't quite managed to capture the poetic spirit yet of describing food in that way.

anyway, the only problem with the lentil moussaka is that the fat content is high. the total fat content is 10 grams per 100 grams. (anyone know the difference between mono unsaturated fatty acids, poly unsaturated fatty acids, saturated fatty acids, and trans fatty acids?).

i finished off the meal with the low fat yoghurt with black cherries dessert from woolworths - i'm getting quite addicted to this dessert - it tastes great. although the yoghurt is a little sour if you don't mix it with the cherries.

anyway, ali g in da usa 2 is on at the moment. ali g is hilarious! i can't decide whether i like ali g, borat or the new character he has created. sasha baron cohen is a genius for thinking of the ali g show. actually, there are quite a few of these shows at the moment. the ashton kutcher show - punked (on mtv) is brilliant as well, and there is some new show which has started here - the jamie kennedy experiment. i caught the last few minutes of the jamie kennedy experiment the other day, and it didn't look brilliant, but maybe i have to watch a few episodes and then i'll see whether i enjoy it more.

anyway, ali g is in the character of the slightly camp guy (okay - not slightly camp), and he's busy interviewing a minister, and telling the guy how much he likes being gay! hilarious!!!

go Ali G!!!!
