I made some chocolate stout cupcakes today (they're not frosted yet). The recipe called for Guinness, but this Corkonian household drinks Beamish!

Best. Bread. Ever! There's condensation on it because it was still warm when I bought it. Yum!

After a crap selection of breakfast goods (i.e. bread and milk) in the house this morning, I made sure to rectify that for tomorrow's breakfast!

310/365

I made red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing today. Nom nom nom!

Pig legs at the Boqueria Market. I was very bummed that Gemma and Oscar didn't have one of these hanging in their kitchen. I thought all Spanish people did this.

Boring day - impromptu salmon cakes for dinner. They weren't as good as they looked.

This taco salad was the best thing that happened to me all day. I was ridiculously excited about it.

Wes has been in Malaysia for the past week and he's back tomorrow. He's not too impressed with the food he's been eating. Apparently there are not enough calories in it. This can only mean he'll come back thinner than when he left. *sigh* He'll be back around lunch time and no surprise to me he requested burgers and chips for his 'welcome home' meal. I'll make broccoli salad to go with it in an attempt to health it up. Anything for my man!!!

We're going to dinner at some friend's tonight, so I picked up some wine and incredibly stinky cheese to bring along. I swear I've tried this brand, but I don't remember it being so stinky I could smell it from 10 ft away!

My first batch of Christmas cookies. They're not as nice as I would like, but I'm sure I'll manage to choke them down! Tomorrow I'll make oatmeal cinnamon chip cookies. Wes asked what they were for. Uh...Santa Claus of course! Men can be so dense sometimes! :)

I helped my friend Lisa's son with his project on Ireland. As a thank you she sent me some pizza Combos and plain M&Ms (they taste different here). Woot!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

Clearly we need to purchase a gravy boat.

We went for brunch at Gruel again. I think it's our new favorite place. Wes had the eggs benedict and this time I had a smoked salmon fishcake with a poached egg on top. YUM-O!!!

I made my first salmon and broccoli pie. It was tasty!

*I promise I won't post anymore food pictures for awhile!

Huzzah!!!

Another one for my mom - I made Paris Chicken for dinner. Wes really liked it. He asked where I got the recipe and I said it's an ol' Sproat Family Favorite! :-D

Found these pretzels at the posh shop in town. They aren't as good as Snyder's of Hanover, but they're pretty darn good.

I told Wes it would be nice if he picked up a treat for dessert. He decided to go totally hog wild and pick these up. I didn't even calculate the WW points, but with 20g of saturated fat, I was fairly certain it would be through the roof! The kicker is we weren't even really impressed with them, so it wasn't even worth it in the end.

167/365

This one is for my mom - ham, cabbage, and potatoes. Proof that I've actually made it and Wes can confirm I ate it too!

*Note to readers- Wes uses that Q-tip on his running watch. It was not used in ears then placed on our dining table. Gross.

*Note to Kim - Check background before taking pictures.

Post workout din dins! Omelette, made with 1 full egg and one egg white, red peppers, onion, salt and pepper, all on a few boiled new potatoes and finished with a low fat cheese slice (Lidl has the best!). And of course a side of runner beans. Total Weight Watcher's points?? Only 4.5!
