We went out to eat pub food last night (by invitation, so clean shirt) and I checked on the website menu that I could have trout, veg plus a few new potatoes. Of course the website is out of date! No trout.
Never mind. I tried a mushroom starter, and it came in a white sauce.
Then lamb tagine, which had sultanas in and was served with couscous, which I mostly avoided and pinched some cauli & green beans from the shared dish.
When the pavlovas and brownies with chocolate sauce came round I got the cheese board, with about a pound of excellent cheeses. I had two small biscuits, some butter, a lot of cheese and the decorative salad and avoided the grapes.
I thought a dash of milk in the coffee would be ok until I realised it was from a machine and overmilked with a lot of froth. It tasted very sweet.
So I think I was over-proteined as well as over-carbed, but isn't that just how it is sometimes? I did my best and after three hours at the table and an hour back home I tested 6.0. The cheese didn't sit well, I must say.
Today the sun is shining and I hope it shines for you too.
