Sugar Rush

It had to happen, after the sugar rush of Yvonne's birthday, comes the guilt and determination to eat more healthily, question is, will it last more than a couple of hours?


For her birthday meal, we went to the Pepper shack in Brixham, it's a Caribbean themed restaurant and I have only ever heard good things about it. Now I can understand why. It was superb, here is a glimpse of the desert, Banoffee Pie with Mango and Coconut ice-cream. Yum.


We went to the Forest Inn at Hexworthy for Sunday lunch, and that was good,, then for a walk on the Moor, before Naomi and Eamon went home (Naomi had to work Bank Holiday Monday)

So for Monday, I made a Chicken and Chorizo stir-fry with spelt, basically just chopped meat and veg cooked in the oven for 40 minutes and the spelt (cooked like cous-cous) on the side.








Tuesday was a white fish and salmon pie, chop the fish into chunks, add a cheese sauce, plus lots of grated cheese and mash on top.





We went to Teignmouth on Wednesday, where we succumbed to more cake, Oh Dear! Well it was only £1.40 a piece, and it was lunch!

 
Had a nice walk along the prom,



My new oven arrived on Thursday, I'm looking forward to not having to wedge the door shut, and having a constant temperature.



I was just putting out the Tomato plants.



As well as those, I had some plants left over, and managed to squeeze them in between the greenhouse and the cold frame

 
Back to work at the weekend, then it will be Grapefruit marmalade and Elderflower wine.
