Cheating Again!!!
Today was the 75th Birthday of my grandmother-in-law, and we had thrown a surprise party for her. My plan was to be good yesterday so that I could cheat today, but as you've seen from yesterday's posts, that didn't quite work out. My plan was then to try to be good today, but that soon went to pot too! Unfortunately, where I was helping out with organising on the day, I didn't diligently take snaps of everything that passed my lips, in fact hardly anything, but I'll try to give you an honest account!
Above is an example of the sort of thing that was in abundance and I can safely say I will have eaten around 10 of these mini treats. I also had a glass of champagne and 2 pints of sparkling elderflower cordial, but the rest of the time stuck with cups of tea (it was a very hot day, 28 degrees centigrade, and it was non stop!).
There was also buffet food, which I ended up having for both lunch and tea. I honestly can't tell you why there's no snaps of this, looking back I can't remember! Must try harder next time. They say with food diary logging, like the apps on your phone that track calories etc, that it's not the things you track that do the damage, it's the things you decide not to, as it gives you free reign. This is the case here too, and there's less excuse as a little photo with your phone is quick and easy.
The buffet I had was mainly coronation chicken, sausages, some quiche and salad. I did manage to steer clear of the breads and pastas. I figured if I was going to be naughty, I wouldn't be wasting it on those foods, I'd save it for the amazing puddings on offer! Speaking of those, I think I probably had 3 bowls of Eton Mess! If you haven't heard of it, it's a simple but delicious dish; meringue, strawberries and whipped double cream.
We'll see tomorrow what the damage is in terms of results!

I would love to hear your thoughts, suggestions and questions so please feel free to comment. Constructive criticism is welcomed, but if you're rude, offensive or a downright pain in the arse to myself or others, you can expect your comment to be a goner!
Also, please comment under your own name, not that of a business/organisation, and don't link to your own site in the comment text. It's not good manners, smacks a bit of spamming and will be gone before you know it.
Other than that, have fun, interact and hopefully between us we can create something worthwhile that will help to improve some lives along the way.....
