I have sort of a random question!
I have been seeing the phrase ‘nom, nom, nom, nom’ all over the blogosphere lately. Does anyone know where it originated? Also, what does it mean? It is just supposed to be the sound of someone eating good food…really fast?? lol. :mrgreen: Please tell me I’m not the only one who has wondered about this!! I’m not so great with blogging lingo…
I had to laugh because the other day I was reading nom, nom, nom and I realized that I make this totally WEIRD noise in my head when I read it. I’M. SO. WEIRD. Seriously..!
It goes like this
‘NOMNOMNOMNOMNOM’
and I say it really fast in my head. hahahaha. Ok, moving on to less embarrassing things…
I made another batch of the In A Jiffy Spelt Veggie burgers. I doubled the batch this time because the last two were gone…in a day. I’ve been known to eat 4 patties at once, straight out of the oven. To which Eric replies, ‘Ahhh are you going to save me any…?’
I had two slices of Ezekiel bread with tomato paste (sup, Lycopene!), hummus, and tomatoes:
This patty = Love.
Fountaine Santé Hummus = Love.
I forgot to mention that I got a new book called Super Eating by Ian Marber.
Basically, in a nutshell the book is about how all kinds of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients interact with one another and either enhance or diminish the absorption of another. For example, take vitamin C and D with calcium to enhance calcium absorption. It really makes me see my food in a new way and to think about ways I can maximize the nutrients from my food. I’ve been up until midnight the past couple nights reading it! I LOVE reading non-fiction health books. It is pretty much all I read. I used to be pretty crazy over fiction when I was younger though…I think I should get back into it one of these days!
I will have to do a post on the book soon…It’s amazing.
My Aunt’s vegan lasagna that she made for me Sunday (I need to get the recipe stat!) It had mushrooms, spinach, onion, tomato, broccoli, etc.
Dessert was a huge bowl of cantaloupe…literally. ;) With a dollop of soy yogurt. I need to buy cantaloupe more often. They are one of my favourite fruits by far!
See you tomorrow for my Spring Training Plan! I have lots to say, so rest those eyeballs up. 8-O I believe it is also time for the WMM2 closing ceremonies!
OFF TO WATCH 24!!!!!
PS- OMG I posted 3 times today!!!! Whoa. I’m taking a week off now. JK :mrgreen:
I love the use of NOM NOM NOM NOM – it really helps me understand JUST how good something tastes. It’s like on all the cooking shows…you can’t actually smell or taste the food so the people have to be really expressive. I think it helps…
Too funny–I wondered about nom nom for a while too! It’s probably because I think “chomp chomp” when I think of devouring food (and that sound that dogs make when they snap their jaws at something you throw at them–like “ghhhrrrrapppp”, I think?)
I can’t wait for the WMM2 recap! I have two weeks till carnival and need to give the abs a final beatdown before D-Day! Now off to put WMM on post it notes all over my computer…
I can haz cheezburger?! Gahh love those LOLcats!
Those patties look amazing, Ange! Must make them soon.
that veggie lasagna looks really good! recipe??
I agree, I think its the noise from the Cookie Monster. When he is enjoying his delicious cookies =) Its is more of a slower “nom, nom, nom!” Me want cookie hahaha
I love reading health books too! Whenever I got to B&N I find myself standing in front of their vast array of them in utter awe trying to decide which one to get this time :)
i always check knowyourmeme.com when there’s some lingo i don’t get :) they have a great om nom nom one.
yum those burgers and veggie lasanga look delish!! I’m gonna have to try those burgers out.
on nom nom is from cookie monster!!
I think the phrase “nom nom nom” is the MOST annoying blogger phrase ever in the world. It makes me cringe every time I read it.
i havent heard of this book but it looks great! can’t wait to read your full review on it & hopefully check the book out myself!
I usually think of Homer :-)
Girl your blogging lingo is fine with me!
Don’t feel bad I didn’t know where it originated either.
I need that book! I’m also a huge geek about reading health books for the fun of it, and that book looks like a great primer as I apply to schools to study nutrition! Must track it down soon.
