I did thrive on it.....although working there probably helped LOL

Back home now and resisting temptation(although to be fair steak/bacon/cheese,grilled lamb and roasted veg are hard to beat......yummy for my tummy and good for me too!!)
 
I did just Dinner today.
The first time we've had Venison burgers.
I like blogging my eats and have done so here http://aminoapps.com/p/j9vz5j
I tried a new way of making celeriac chips today and that is to microwave them first so that they're still warm when I pour heated seasoned beef dripping on them. I found that this helps coat them evenly in the fat before I bake them off.

Morning Tea - 3 Krispy Kreme donuts with jam. Mug of hot chocolate
Lunch - Beef pie with bbq sauce, 2 sausage rolls
