Had a bit of a pick today at foods that I should not be eating ... we're having a 'Multi Cultural Week' at school, and today some of the kids were making foods from around the world ... lots of it found it's way into the staff room at lunch time and I just couldn't stop myself!! I wish I had more self control!
