Out for dinner

I started off the day just knowing that I would not be in control all day. We were going to a rather grand dinner with a fixed menu and although I was designated driver it was the calories I would eat that were more of a concern!

An early start as I had a lot to do. I was picking up my new glasses then gabbing a manicure and my hair done. After the usual weekly shop I rushed to eat breakfast and decided that as I was unsure of when lunch would be, if at all, then I had better have 2 eggs with crispbreads. (HEb). I also had some fruit.

That eaten I dashed off,  got everything done and then relaxed in the hairdressers. It was a restful time with a good chat and a laugh thrown in! I avoided eating out and managed to get home in reasonable time to eat a small amount of piri piri chicken pasta and then strawberries with 0% yoghurt.

So to the dinner.......duck pate with toast to start. No way of knowing the exact syns but definitely 3 for the bread! I avoided the butter though. This was followed by beef, potatoes , carrots and beans. I think I was reasonably safe with the beef and the beans, but the potatoes were cooked in oil and I am sure the carrots were honeyed! Pudding was sorbet which is not too bad in the scheme of things but that was served with panna cotta! Add to all that the one vodka I had and the after dinner mint, I was well over my syns limit!

I am not used to being out so late so when I got home I found myself eating a Curly Wurly. Oh well!
