Wasn't particularly hungry earlier today, but by the time we had dinner, I was ravenous (ate out). I had pizza with chargrilled peppers, mushrooms, olives, red onion and mozzarella, with some garlic bread. It was proper pizza and garlic bread, and it was bloody lovely!
Might have a small glass of wine, and some dark chocolate once kids are settled

@lastqueenofscotland I love potato scones. When I was a child, there was a traditional bakery just around the corner, they made beautiful potato scones (and bridies and cakes and empire biscuits) and would open late on a Friday night for the pub trade. It was a great treat for us to stay up late and get fresh potato scones, bring them home still warm and eat them with the butter starting to melt on them.
