July 27th Wednesday - Dinner
Firstly an apology for Monday and Tuesday pics...
Monday turned into a day of 2 sandwiches and 3 bags of Minstrels. All day. Oops and no pics..
Tuesday was my anniversary.. 31 years! Yay me & Bob! So no dinner, but posh lunch at L'Autre Pied in the West End. I have a thing about photographing meals in restaurants (yes, I know lots of people do, I just feel too embarrassed to fiddle about with my camera, and anyway I want to get on with eating! )
So lunch was marinated pollock, followed by Middle White pork belly, finished with macerated strawberries with raspberry sorbet & sesame tuiles. But no photos.
Wednesday dinner was the highly smelly but delicious chargriddled Sardines with salad & new potatoes in Tartare dressing

Today is the start of the South African Grapefruit Challenge that I spoke about here...
So lunch gets a special mention as you will be pleased to find some nice suggestions for ways to use a daily grapefruit for the next two weeks.
Today's lunch was just some leftovers with a nice grapefruit as dessert. Mmmmm.

What is all this about?
This is an aide memoire for me on my continuing fight with losing weight.
I have a terrible memory, so thought it might be helpful if I keep tabs of what I am eating in photo form.
Some things may have recipes attached to my Greedy Piglet blog but if not, and you would like to see a recipe, then just shout and I'll see what I can do.. but don't leave it too long or I might not be able to remember what I did!
