Pastry-gate

Everyones favourite question (aside from the obvious boy / girl question) is - Do you have any cravings?

My response; Carbs!

During the first trimester I had an intense love affair with muller-rice. I ate about 40 in a month. The relationship is still going but it's fizzling out, gone are the days of having a tantrum in Waitrose because they don't stock them. In hindsight, my response to the Asda delivery after some fool made the executive decision to substitute my order of plain for apple now seems a little irrational but at the time I was fuming... How very dare they! They should have known that my selection of 10 should have been; 2 plain, 2 strawberry, 3 custard and 3 raspberry. If I'd wanted apple I'd have ordered apple, if you didn't have plain surely stick with the safe bet and give me one of the ones I so clearly enjoy!!!!! Fortunately for Asda I was too busy that week to make a complaint!

Last week I spent three whole days thinking about pastry, sat at my desk thinking about cheese and onion pasties, lying in the bath thinking about warm sausage rolls and even swimming along thinking about pie. I ignored this for as long as possible... until I made the mistake of walking past the lovely Jaspers bakery. I did actually walk past, a whole 4 steps past, but then I back tracked and found myself in there staring through the glass counter and trying not to drool. Then my mouth opened, "Hi, please can I have a LARGE cornish pasty, a LARGE sausage roll and oh yes one of those LARGE chocolate covered flapjacks." So much pastry I said yes please to the offer of a carrier bag... this was completely unnecessary as they didn't even touch the sides of the bag, I gorged myself in the high street.

I got indigestion.

I got over my pastry craving.

This week I am mostly thinking about tiger bread, the lovely fresh Asda loaves that taste bloody amazing with a large amount of proper butter. So far I am resisting as I know I would eat the whole loaf. Asda is currently off limits.
