And Give Us This Day Our Daily....

[Priscilla]

Tea.

[Anna N]

Coffee - two cups (black) every morning except Sunday when I lace it with Aquavit!

[Milagai]

Only one?

Liquids:

I can sub tea for coffee, but at least one of those would be nice.

Maybe if it's really hot weather I can survive on fresh lime soda....

Other:

Yogurt (my good South Indian tummy gets severe yogurt withdrawal

after 2-3 days)

Spices (bland food gives me the heebie jeebies after maybe 1 or 2 meals max. I have been known to travel with a bottle of lemon pickle

that I'll mix in as needed.)

Chocolate was there but my expanding waistline

has moved it out of the "daily" category.....

Water

Nutella

Coffee

... in that order.

[NancyH]

Cheeeeeeese!

[Trishiad]

Coffee junkies abound!

Silly me, I was going to say a simple glass of water, cool room temp.

[racheld]

I was tempted to quote everyone in the "Coffee" column, but it would have resulted in one of those frame-after-frame eternal mirror-image things, I think. Include me for COFFEE. Or Espresso. Or Cap, Latte, Mocha or any variation of the above. I washed all the lids to the coffee cannisters one day last week, left them in the dishwasher overnight, and when I emerged from my bedroom that morning, the house smelled like HEAVEN.

And I also chime in for salad, in almost any form. Even with burgers or sandwiches, I shred lots of iceberg, pile it on a plate, salt it a little and eat it like fries. And never is my fridge without cucumbers--from the little pickling ones to those nice crisp long ones which come in their own little Saran outfit, ready to slice and enjoy.

And lately, yogurt---there are probably forty little containers piled in the fridge drawer upstairs, every flavor from Key Lime Pie to plain old plain.

[andiesenji]

Yogurt for me. I have some medication that has to be taken with food and I have found that yogurt is the easiest thing, not requiring any "fixin" or even a dish. Straight out of the container since I am the only one who eats it.

And bread. I have to have at least one piece of bread each day. I count bagels, English muffins, crumpets and regular bread in this category.

I don't count the sweet things such as muffins, sweet rolls, pancakes, waffles and etc.

[Lori in PA]

Coffee, oh yeah. I just don't feel right if I haven't had at least one sweet thing during the day, but candy doesn't count. I'm not much of a candy person. I prefer home-baked things, but in a pinch a slice of cinnamon toast before bed will do.

[Hiroyuki]

Rice and green tea.

[lexy]

I like routine, so I guess I eat the same meals more than most people. Obviously there are exceptions, but when I'm feeding myself (ie not eating in college):

Breakfast is always tea and oatmeal (preferably steel-cut oats, salt not sugar).

Lunch is usually some sort of sandwich, more tea, and an apple, with additions depending on what's on hand.

I like to have another cup of tea around 4ish as well.

Clearly I have a tea problem.

Wow!!!!

That's quite a sandwich!!!

[MissAmy]

Coffee in the morning. Diet Coke mid-afternoon.

.......... and very healthy

Just to clarify, it ain't a sandwich, however in some countries it probably could be.

I suppose if I include the balsamic glaze and sea salt on the tomatoes, I eat that every day as well.

[petite tête de chou]

Screamingly painful hot sauce and about a half head of some kind of lettuce. Every day. It used to be three triple shot, non-fat lattes, half a pack of smokes and about 4-6 pints of ale but then, I turned the corner on 30 and saw 40 looming in the distance. Time to clean up my act, just a bit.

[JasmineL]

Coffee and yogurt for me.

[bavila]

coffee

nuts and/or nut butter

cheese

chocolate (unless by some misfortune there's none in the house)

tomatoes in season

When I was growing up, I could have added rice to the list, often twice a day. It's amazing all Cajuns don't have rice-induced diabetes.

[Malawry]

Butter. I can't remember the last time I consumed absolutely no butter for an entire day. I'm counting butter in things as well as on things.

[hjshorter]

Until a short time ago, it would have been coffee for me as well.

I am currently on a low-iodine diet that forbids dairy, soy, egg yolks, fish & seafood, and rice. The one thing that's making me crazy is milk. I always have at least one glass every day. I could (and did when I was pregnant) give up coffee much more easily.

[srhcb]

I used to make sure to have my USDA Recommended Minimum Daily Adult Requirement of Caffeine, Nicotene and Velveeta, (aka: the Nutritional Triad), but when I quit smoking I lightened up on the Velveeta consumption too.

SB (still gets plenty of caffiene though)

[rooftop1000]

Diet Pepsi....for over a year I had meatballs almost every day at work....they were Good

tracey

[tejon]

The only thing I can think of that I have almost every day is tea. Rice would be a close second.

[ghostrider]

Tea

OJ

Oats (oatmeal or some oat-based granola mixture)

I miss salad when I don't have it, but we usually have Chinese takeout a couple of times a week, & thus I go without.

There was a time when ice cream would have been on the list - a time that lasted, oh, close to three decades - but I was finally able to break that addiction a couple of years ago.

[Lady T]

H'm. Traditionally, the Classical Singer's Five Food Groups are:

Caffeine

Sugar

Salt

Fat

Alcohol

Once one has consumed far too much of most of the above, it's time to go home, rehydrate deeply, practice, and sleep.
