We are Back!!

Back from our wonderful holiday to New England. We visited two areas, North Conway of the famous outlet malls and Sturbridge of the Old Sturbridge Village fame. Both terrific bases for exploring.
Weather was great, it rained the day we arrived then it warmed up, one day being so hot I had to go into a shop and buy a cool shirt to wear!
Food...well the food is let's say American! very big portions, and I do mean very big, and very little for those who are trying to eat a healthy diet. An awful lot of large people about..not as many as in Florida, but enough.
We had a few memorable meals while we were there, two at "Flatbreads" where we had oven fired Pizzas, and one at a very "posh" restaurant called Cedar Street, where we had our special meal. The one we didn't have last year when I was sixty and we missed VT's birthday because I was having my toe done.
I had Mixed Olive Tapenade with pitta bread and roasted garlic,
VT had a platter of cheese tasters,
Then.. Pumpkin and Pear Rissotto, and a Penne Pasta dish with a spicy romatoish sauce.
We shared a trio of Sorbets, Blood Orange, Guava and Strawberry..All Delicious. The bill for this sumptious freast was $84.36 or about £43!!!

Now to The Healthy Eating Plan!!!!!
News is, we barely put anything on!!! about 2lbs at the most!! we couldnt believe it either of us...I had fully expected top put on about 1/2 a stone. We didn' t stint, but we were careful-ish. We had cookies and Pizzas etc., but we did do a fair bit of walking I suppose.
Anyway we are back on the Plan today..
Normal Breakfast, Normal lunch and...
Leek and Butternut Squash roast for our evening meal
Vegetables...probably roasted and there is a tomato sauce in the roast.
VT is 11 Stone and Jenny nine toes is 12 stones GOOD EH!!!
