Never Again!

Well I finally went shopping yesterday morning. Never again! The place was so packed that it took me longer to queue up to get through the tills than it did to do all my shopping - give me the midnight shop anytime. The only good thing about the daytime shop was that the fishmongers counter was open and so I got a rather lovely sea bass, a nice tuna steak and some undyed smoked haddock.

After that it was a mad dash to get everything in the fridge before running off to work. No time to prepare food - I had a protein shake and took a packet of ham with me, although we were then pretty busy and so I didn't get to eat the ham till after finishing work. Dinner last night was a small bowl of acorn squash soup (which made me sneeze) followed by a nice juicy sirloin steak in a creamy mushroom sauce with cauli/broccoli mash, and steamed green vegetables. A slice of cheesecake finished the meal off nicely.

On Saturday evening evening I met up with a couple of the ladies from the P2T forum for a lovely meal at Cafe Rouge in Canterbury. There were supposed to be 8 of us, but in the end only 3 of us turned up. No word from any of the others as to why they didn't make it so far. It's a shame they didn't come as we had a really good evening, had a lovely meal and I made 2 new friends - Mary and Kate. The restaurant was very nice and IPD friendly. For starters I had baked mushrooms with garlic, raclette & spinach, followed by chicken stuffed with brie wrapped in ham served with french green beans.
