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!

Travelled home on train, took nearly all day - all I have had is black coffee for breakfast, one medium latte and a bacon, brie and cranberry sauce panini at Lime Street. One black coffee and a scone on the train, one glass of red wine since I got here. Must cook something ?Gosh, you are all such healthy eaters ?
