Menu, food and diet

Question

Which of the two options you had chosen and why? Then, compare your choice with what you've eaten today.

Menu 1:

grapefruit

baked potato, cheese and green salad

fresh fruit and Greek yoghurt

Menu 2:

paté

fish and chips

chocolate pudding and ice-cream

I would have chosen the first choice, because it seems more healthy.

I have stopped to smoke for one month. Now, I'm very worried about the diet and my eating habits.

Today, I have lunch a light meal. Potatoes, beans and carrots.

I have cooked potatoes, beans and chopped carrots on a pressure saucepan. I have fryed chopped iberian jam and chopped onion with a cupful of olive oil. Finally I have mixed all with a pinch of salt.

For drink, I have a cup of wine and mineral water, and for dessert I have eaten a banana.

Many thanks!!! But, I don't understand why I must use past tense. I'm talking about my meal today, please could you explain me this point?? Many thanks in advance!! Can I help you with your Spanish? It would be a pleasure help you!!! - patrilc, Mar 29, 2013

Does this make sense to you, now? Maybe another member might explain this as well? - bandit51jd, Mar 29, 2013

Yes, you had your meal today, but you had already eaten it. And you were now writing about it. So the action of eating is now complete so you use the past tense. - bandit51jd, Mar 29, 2013

Answer 2

Might I suggest "pressure cooker" instead of "pressure saucepan"?

Answer 3

It's nice to know that you are on a diet. Since I'm only in eighth grade, I never smoked so I can't really relate to how hard it is to quit.

Keep going, and stay healthy! Unless you are allergic to nuts, you should eat almonds (for your brain) and other dry fruits. carrots keep your eyes sharp.

How does this relate to Spanish???

When you look at Patrilc's profile, he/she is a beginner in English, so they are wanting help with their English. :) - bandit51jd, Mar 29, 2013
