Call me stupid :facepalm: but I have only just realised while shopping today that I can now have Brie !!
So guess what I had for lunch .... a bowl of things I love ....
Prawns, toms, cucumber, peppers, with mayo & peanut butter to dip & Brie .... so happy :)

Out for a pub lunch: Hamburger with bacon & cheese, salad, coleslaw (no bun or chips) ... hope the cider didn't do too much harm ;)
