This weekend I discovered several different things. Firstly I realised it is just as possible to have a bad diet if you are a vegetarian as if you are a meat-eater. I was away all weekend at a hen do and although we had a tasty meal cooked for us on Saturday night, Friday night’s dinner consisted of snacking on pizza and lots of other naughty foods. I suppose I have been feeling virtuous by choosing not to eat meat, and forgot that there are plenty of unhealthy and fattening veggie options out there too. It is all about what you choose to indulge in!
We had a lovely meal cooked for us on Saturday night – Asparagus and brie crepes served with a lemon butter sauce and minted crushed potatoes
Followed by a delicious lemon cheesecake with raspberry coulisUnfortunately I forgot to take a photo of the starter I chose which was a griddled aubergine and halloumi stack, with coriander pesto and freshly squeezed lime. Mmmmm 🙂
Secondly I realised just how much I love Jasmine Tea! These Good Earth tea bags really give off a delicious perfumey flavour; more than other brands I have tried. My absolute favourite brand of Jasmine tea has to be Moon Tyger Tea – delicate individual flowers which open up and infuse the water, but they are an expensive luxury. (If you fancy trying them and are put off by the price, don’t be because they are delicious, last a long time and have currently got a sale on!)
Finally I remembered just how wonderful it is to spend time with some very dear friends 🙂
