New Years Day

Day 1/100

Not a bad day today.  An excess of Chinese food last night means I skipped breakfast this morning, but made porridge for the Chicklets.  I made it a little fancy with a chopped apple, a spoon of home made mincemeat, a dash of cinnamon and some brown sugar.  I may have gone OTT with the quantities though, as they ploughed their way through the bowls but the level didn't appear to diminish an any way.  Hey ho!!!

Lunch was left over bolognaise and a mince pie.  I even resisted the chocolates doing the rounds of the sitting room.

This Evenings piece d'resistance is Roast pork with crackling, roast potatoes (in goose fat) roast parsnips, carrots, spouts, peas, stuffing (from  a pack oops!!!) and homemade apple sauce.  It smells delish - the meat is due out of the oven at any moment.  And if we can stomach it, home made Christmas cake for pudding!!  It is a good job I am going back to Slimming World next week.  I am getting chubbier than normal.

All in all success.  The key to good cracking is enough salt to give you a heart attack.  But we only have it twice a year at most, and so plan to enjoy it to the full.

Happy New Year to you all.  xxx
