Greetings chickadees and I think it is safe to say that summer is well and truly over after a weekend which saw us a) light our fire every night b) turn the heating on and c) get pounded by hailstones. Suits me just fine - I am not a big fan of the hot weather although I have no intention of giving up the salads that have characterised my lunches for the past couple of months. I love salad and don't see that it should be confined to when the weather is sunny.
I've been back on track for nearly a whole week now (four and a half days counts as nearly seven, doesn't it?) and although it has had its tricky moments, altogether it is going pretty well. It helps, I think, that we were SO over indulgent last weekend, my body was definitely ready to embrace a simpler, leaner diet. But, as I said in my last post and said to my WW coach at the weigh in, I will never be the type of person to count, or even attempt to count, on holiday. Food and drink are two of life's very great pleasures.
Talking of great pleasures, and another sign that winter is on its way - the new series of Strictly Come Dancing started on Saturday night which I thoroughly enjoyed. Saturday nights from now will definitely have to feature a special sort of supper to honour the occasion. Actually, this Saturday's supper was very special indeed - inspired by a photo on Bundobust's Instagram feed, I contrived a saag paneer pizza. If two of your favourite foods are saag paneer and pizza, this is a dish not to be missed. I may well post the recipe at some point.
Anyway, on to this week. I am supposed to be going out on Friday, so it is blank for now, but may try and wriggle out of it for various reasons, not least that it would be nice to have two straight weeks of tracking under my belt as we go into October AKA D's 50th Birthday Month. Elsewhere:
Monday: Tuna and onion (tonno e cipolla) pizza - we have pizza dough leftover from Saturday night and, well, it would be rude not to.
Tuesday: Mussel paella
Wednesday: Vietnamese braised pork with vegetable egg fried rice
Thursday: Chicken breast stuffed with goats' cheese
Saturday: Lobster truffled macaroni cheese - a dish inspired by our recent trip to the Star Inn the Harbour.
Sunday: A freezer dive - beef and fennel stew with mashed potatoes.
Have a fabulous week all!

Well done on getting back on track! It always seems so much easier just to keep tacking on extra "eat whatever the hell you feel like" days... And please post this sag paneer pizza recipe!
