So I called Paul yesterday and asked him to bring home cookies on his way back from a meeting that I was missing. I've just had another one of them now - chocolate covered marshmallow biscuit things. Really crap. But the package was amazing, all gold foil and shiny red letters. I am such a sucker for that kind of kitch.
In other news, I don't remember a single vegetable crossing my lips today. Hm.
Oh, I had vitamin water with blueberries and pomegranate. That counts, right?
I had a cappuccino today, first one in a while. And some fair baklava. Muesli and milk. Coffee. Lemon water. Wood oven pizza...saved enough for tomorrow (pizza is the one and only absolutely okay leftover).

28.4.08 eating humble pie
Do you ever have one of those days...the ones that even food can't save.
Well, I almost had one today. It was only a near miss because I happened to make myself a delicious baked potato and fresh rocket and mixed greens salad for dinner. The baking potato warmed the house, the salad was a plateful of spring on a cold winter-can't-let-go day outside. Sometimes grace is a simple as butter melting down the side of a golden spud.
And there is chocolate in the fridge, so all is definitely not lost.
veggie count today: the salad counts for two, I bet. An orange. A juice drink. A banana. I made it. Whew.
