There seems to have been an abundance of food this week. Baking on Saturday, ready for a family gathering at our house on Sunday for Mother's Day. The left-overs became a picnic for the train that night, as I headed to London for a few days of meetings. Buffet lunches, tea and biscuits and room service dinner. Since getting home I have met up with friends for a meal out after work, then again last night with The Husband before we attended a comedy gig.
Looking back on the week it feels gluttonous, and excessive. All of the meals enjoyable, and celebratory (except perhaps the room service!) but too much all in one week. I am craving simple dishes, home-cooked food, and as spring officially starts, a desire for lighter, fresher fare.
It sounds lovely, though I know what you mean, as it can feel too much and the brighter days do seem to call for lighter food. Until then, pass the cakes..! Thanks for sharing with #WotW x

DeleteI understand the craving for simplicity, even after one takeaway or a round of baking I feel ugh and need cleaner living food the next day. But then a feast treat is nice now and again!
ReplyDeleteyes everything in moderation I think in the end! thanks for visiting x
Deletelighter fare, perhaps followed by a little bit of cake?
