Yes. They’re English muffins by another name. I like ATBs because, unlike Thomas’s English Muffins and others, they don’t have a ‘holey’ surface; which makes them better for spreading the Vegemite.

Ah, I see. Thanks. I go through periods of having muffins, crumpets and just plain toast for breakfast. But always with Vegemite.

Good share. 😉

Me?

A latte and a muffin. A handful of trail mix. A butterscotch candy and a starlight mint. Now I’m off to find a good dinner. Mmmm, sushi; maybe Thai.

And no diarrhea, thank you.

I had so far:

A snickerdoodle.

A frappucino.

I am making roast chicken, homemade macaroni and cheese, and steamed vegetables for dinner.

I wish the chicken would hurry up and finish roasting.

Breakfast: Ham and tomato sammich on white bread with a bottle of pulpy OJ

Lunch: Bupkus

Dinner: Fettucini in Tomato Cream sauce, a cup of Pasta Fagioli, and bread with pignoli olive oil dipping sauce, and a mountain dew slurpee on the drive home from the restaurant (i’m such a philistine).

Just now: a St. Maarten sammich (1/2 a baguette, light mayo, turkey, gouda and sprouts, inspired by my favorite caribbean bakery.)

It’s 5.00PM AEST here, and I’ve had:

Coupla potato cakes and a dimmie.  
Two cups of coffee  
Some strange dish from the Japanese takeaway near work that amounted to some braised chicken with rice and salad  
A bowl of miso soup.

I’m now cooking a green Thai chicken curry for dinner.

Oh, and two glasses of Cab Sav. 😃

Dinner turned out to not be curry on toast, it was bourbon on coke.

I’ve never seen anything called an ATB, but Google found me [this page](http://www.aussieinamerica.com/food/muffins.htm), which just adds to my confusion. I like toasted English muffins (but not usually the American “mushroom-style” ones), and baking-powder biscuits, and scones, but I’ll have to find some ATBs.

Meanwhile, all I had today was coffee for breakfast, a few cashews, some crackers with assorted cheese, a few kumquats, and water. Supper will be ham (I might fry it), potato salad, and peas. That might go well with a beer. Maybe I’ll have ice cream later (Reed’s ginger chocolate!).

It’s 6:30 pm here, and so far, I’ve had two Hot Pocket Sub things (Ham & Cheese) at about nine this morning and a Med. Whopper value meal from Burger King around 2:30 this afternoon. I’m hungry.
