Weekend catch up

I left off on Friday having eating my veggie sausage pizza at the in-laws looking forward to an action packed Saturday and my first barbeque of the year. We set off from Lelant Saltings train station and made our way along the coastline towards St Ives. We stopped at Porthminster Beach where Mr VST's parents had set up a barbeque in anticipation of our arrival and cooked a vast quantity of sausages for the meat eaters. We were very lucky with the mild January weather which was very accommodating! Mr VST and I had a Quorn burger and Linda McCartney sausage each.

The afternoon continued with games on the beach, a visit to a spa and then a rock and roll dancing lesson. In the evening we went to the Zen Noodle Bar in Truro where Mr VST and I had some vegetable tempura to start followed by a bowl of soup, noodles, tofu and vegetables for Mr VST and vegetables, tofu and noodles that were supposed to be in a black bean sauce for me but there wasn't much black bean sauce.

Both the barbeque and the noodles were followed by birthday cake - mmm! The cake that followed the barbeque had been especially made by a friend of the birthday girl to be lactose free so that she could eat it. It was a delicious lactose free carrot cake that could only have been bettered by an accompaniment of tea!

We drove home after the meal and after breakfast this morning headed off to the supermarket to refill our empty cupboards and had our lunch plans scuppered as the bakery had run out of fresh cheese and onion pasties. I felt like some comfort food so we bought a fresh loaf of bread and a tin of soup each instead. I went for the ultimate comfort soup - Heinz Cream of Tomato and it was delicious.

After that we grazed on quite a lot of chocolate (diet went out of the window) including a proper home made hot chocolate and I didn't feel like eating supper after that. Mr VST made himself some fried eggs on toast.
