By the time lunch came around I was starving. To be honest, I was craving lunch from 10am. The plan was for Lee to come meet me and we go grab some pitas. Lee did come to meet me, but the traffic was woeful and there weren't any car spots at the shops. Frustrated, we head to the mall and then to a different pita joint, only to find the same thing - traffic, and no parks. Half an hour later we found a different pita place, and a car park, and went in. I had a grilled chicken pita, same as what I would normally get from the Pita Factory. It cost the same, was half the size, and to be honest, it was pretty average. Never again, Pita Pit! But we were both so hungry I guess it didn't matter.
In the afternoon, I snacked on a Daisy Cake - pumpkin cupcakes with I am sure something illegal in the icing so I didn't ask too many questions:
I love it when Daisy bakes! I did the whole 'I will just nibble at it over time...' thing. I had poke and lick at the icing. Then again. And when I looked back down a couple of seconds later I had crumbs all down my front and an empty sticky cupcake wrapper. Seriously good stuff, Daisy. You should totally turn this professional.
Dinner was a little late, I met with one of the volunteers from the FoodBank for a coffee and to talk through recipes and our mojo for this project, which was awesome as I have been feeling a bit stuck. Turns out I wasn't alone. Well, over one cup of maple cream black coffee I soon found out we have more in common than just food, which has also turned into a dinner invitation and some handy local knowledge on breweries and meateries! And we got our mojo back for the project, so it should be a good meeting next week.
Back to dinner, we had goats cheese, sundried tomatoes and pine nut stuffed chicken breasts wrapped in proscuitto, roasted asparagus and a salad. And it was awesome. Although I stuffed mine down in about five minutes because I was working from home on company integration into the system, which thankfully only took about an hour and went relatively smoothly.
I would love to say it ended there... but it didn't. It ended one block of dark Lindt mint chocolate later.
