Stormy Weekends and Food

The last two weekends have been very stormy. There have been sticks and twigs all over the garden and part of the woodland walk has become awash. There’s very little point in going out in the garden when it’s like this other than to collect the branches and clear the lawn of detritus. So what do I do with my weekends? I read sometimes but that smacks of laziness so I don’t allow myself much time for reading but I do like cooking. This Sunday it was sausage rolls. You can’t beat savoury comfort food so it’s no wonder that Greggs is doing so well and the nation is heading towards an obesity crisis. I have to be very restrained to stop myself from joining the ranks of the overweight particularly when the scales tell me I’m at the upper end of my body mass index. I don’t allow biscuits or crisps into the house. A couple of weeks ago I “found myself” in the crisp aisle at Tesco and it was so, so tempting however I managed to make it through to the checkout without any crisps. It was a close run thing.
