little did i guess how difficult it would be. whilst i was on my epic journey home (ok alright, it was only a mere 20 hours via HK) i thought it would be fairly easy. as i quietly congratulated myself for turning down plane food and drank plenty of water i also imagined that it should be easy enough in the coming days to graze on lettuce leaves and nibble moderately on the odd treat - blue cheese, pate, foie, etc...
i hadn't counted on how well mix had been looking after all at home with her yummy recipes. i came home at about 10pm and simply had to have a portion of the above chicken and mash pie laced with a vodka cream sauce and then finish with a slice of that heavenly chocolate iced cake. oh dear oh dear .... will power, wherefore art thou gone!
