I spent 2 weeks in England politely eating things in white sauce, scarfing biscuits in the hotel room at night as I was trying to eat small amounts of rich food (am used to plenty of things like salad and yogurt and Bocas, so I was overeating and hungry all at once - ah, the self-pity!
). And dreaming of chocolate mints from the loonie store!
You ought to see the cakes and bikkies and candy they sell at Waitrose (grocery chain) in England - everything looks so beautiful and delectable. If I shopped there I would NOT be able to go into that aisle. Just bought the plain raisin biscuits though (called garibaldis), as I wiped the drool away surrepitiously. (Trying to behave meself, you know!)
Having said all that I cannot WAIT to have takeout tomorrow night! Indian or Japanese, yum yum. In laws like bland stuff and I am longing for something spicy or some sushi or anything interesting!
