day twenty

Pretty quiet on the Project front today. I guess that's a thing to learn as well : it's a "routine" not in a negative way but in a Holy Crap look at me workin' it day in and day out kinda way.

Mom returned home tanned and exuberant from her week in Barbados. Talking a mile a minute she wanted to go to her favourite restaurant for dinner. In case you're wondering her favourite restaurant is not the one I run but The Winchester Arms up the street. Now this presented a bit of a challenge to me cuz there's nothing I enjoy more than a big old steak and kidney pie from the Winch. Who am I kidding... any pie from the Winch. Some days I'd be very happy if all food was served in pie form.
Salmon (grilled plain), no potato, double order of veg, water. I'm not going to tell you it tasted better than any pie ever could because that would be a lie. It was, however cooked perfectly and was exactly what I wanted !

When I started the blog, one thing that was important was the aspect of public accountability. Tonight, in that restaurant, with so many supportive friends around me I felt the full weight of that accountability.
Did it help? You bet !

  2. Its all about choice, and if youd chosen a pie, that would be FINE. Only the pastry is costly, and as once in a while indulgence, who cares?
    Still, your dinner looked tasty, as did your moms.
    I had a big old salad with chicken and egg and it was goooooooooood.
