Cake orders are coming in thick and fast. A surprise!

People are addicted.

But that's all to your benefit.

the husband prefers the remaining armchair and declares my new best friend, Chester Field

Love it! Chester Field...! (both the moniker and the couch)

Stress at work this week. Lots of stress and lots of crazy - even more than usual - but at least I have verbal confirmation that my contract will be renewed in January, so we won't be destitute.
Yesterday:
B: yoghurt, coffee
L: lots of protein-heavy salads (work catering): bit of salmon, bit of chicken, lot of beef
D: lamb burger, salad; apple

Work catering again. Bigwig week continues apace...
B: yoghurt, walnuts, coffee
L: tuna mayo wrap innards, chicken mayo wrap innards, two mini burger innards, slice of steak, strawberry, mango cubes
D: T-bone steak, carrots, beet salad, broc

[badgergirl]

W/e was challenging, but compliant in quality, if not quantity.
Today
B: yoghurt, coffee
L: chicken, salmon, cheese, five hazelnuts (yep, catering leftovers)
D: broc and beetroot steamed in dash of soy sauce, raw red capsicum, apple

Rescued, I hope, by the spartan supper.

I've ballooned in the past ten weeks. CICO working against me. Bingeing. Binge drinking. It's not difficult to see where the lard came from (or where it has landed; I've got lovely big breasts, every cloud and so forth, to go with my pillowy belly and thighs).

Anyway, today I thought my strength and self-worth come from within. I've been trying to find an external source and, as is the way of these things, failed.

Got more exercise than I had bargained for by taking a different route to work, walking from North Melbourne, and got a bit sidetracked on Gertrude St. C'est la vie.
B: yoghurt, banana, walnuts, coffee
L: green salad with flakes of salmon and a couple of potato slices (the very last of the catering)
D: yellow thai curried chicken, spinach, capsicum, courgette

New patchwork photos to follow soon!

I got a bit sidetracked on my walk today, too. Your food looks good today, have you a recipe for your chicken? Looking forward to the patchwork photos. A.

Also, note Mr C Field's cameo appearance!

Great piecing on your quilt top! All of your corners look very sharp.... awesome job! Do you do your own quilting or do you have someone do it for you?
