But today was about me aiding and abetting the eating part of the weekend.
I've made a meat and a vegetarian filling for fresh Vietnamese spring rolls.
Sausage rolls, and little mini twice baked potatoes in three versions - the works, vegetarian and non-onion versions. The potatoes will be finished in the oven once we are there.
Needless to say there is a big tray of flapjacks too.
Additionally, I have a bowl full of teriyaki chicken marinating which will be grilled tomorrow before departure. And lots of fresh veggies to grill and then throw in a simple marinade too. Maybe a cake if time allows.
I've not packed, nor considered which sewing projects to bring. But we won't starve so as per usual my priorities are with my stomach. Why can't I lose weight? Why?!

Enjoy your weekend and sorry that you'll be missing some of your bee mates. I'm starving and drooling here over those spring rolls.
