I'm in a 'bottomless pit' mode today - just can't eat enough!

So far I've had:

2 fried eggs, tomatoes, avocado, 2 coffees
Sea bass fillets, red cabbage & salad, 2 glasses of wine
3 slices of bacon, brown sauce, on a buttered brioche bun
1 mini Magnum

I'm still hungry!

? too much!
I wish I was as slim as you travel ...and no doubt I would be if I only followed your example.tchgrin but the mince pies and Baileys are calling.

Maggiemaybe Wed 19-Dec-18 16:12:33

Weetabix.
Beans on toast (2 slices, loads of butter).
Crisps and a mince pie after giving blood (good excuse!).
And DH is making a spaghetti dish for tea with olives and spicy sausage.
In and amongst, half a dozen dried figs, a pomegranate, an apple and a couple of satsumas.
No alcohol (or maybe just a teensy Baileys, seeing as lemongrove has put it in my head. ?

One slice of toast.

Afternoon tea, consisting of:
Prawn cocktail served in small glass cup.
Finger sandwiches, ham & mustard
smoked salmon
cream cheese &
cucumber.
Fruit scone, jam and cream
Tiny lemon meringue pie
Vanilla custard tart with fresh fruits

Not thinking about supper yet!

Toad in the hole was a big deal because I am hopeless at Yorkshire pudding normally, but this recipe was great.
Very rare day to have only typically English food. I like my spicy food

I added a bag of chocolate coins and a slice of toast to yesterday’s tally before bed.

A small omelette made from leftover beaten egg from baking for breakfast (with my shredded wheat and blueberries). For lunch another small omelette, this time with cheese, from another portion of leftover beaten egg, with two chunks Co-op white farmhouse, and a Co-op puff pastry mince pie. I don't want to waste anything.
