After all the family have left I still have a mountain of cheese in the fridge, bits and bobs which don't seem to go well together; and am in serious danger of making my 4 pound Christmas gain into a 2 stone Christmas gain just to devour the lot...
Sometimes it's hard to look at the odds and ends and decide how to make a meal from it, let alone, find a way to make it semi healthy.
Tonight's dinner consists of Roast Swede soup utilising a swede that needed using up, some carrots which had seen better days, garlic, and leftover shallots which I didn't manage to pickle; followed by a Jacket potato stuffed with smoked salmon leftovers, creamed blue cheese leftover from the cheeseboard, and a bit of lemon juice to prevent me having gin!
Now that Christmas is done, and I only really have New Year's Eve and Day to contend with, I actually can't wait to start eating healthily again. Every Christmas I go into stodge overload instead of treating myself to luxuries I really enjoy that actually won't weigh me down. Seafood, fruit, and just a little of the very smelliest cheeses there are.
Why do we do this? Why do I do this? The one thing I always say is important to me is control, yet as soon as Christmas arrives, and the buffet table is presented to me i seem to lose all sense.
I'm not one for New Year's Resolutions as a rule, but this year I'm making a commitment to myself to try and bring back that control in my food again, and learn to say no once more.
