Mmmm, Mmmm. Hot Dog!

Because I know you were DYING to see those canned hotdogs in brine – lookee here.  It was beginning to feel like a British obsession with our national food.  You don’t see US putting fish and chips in a can, do you?

Though, I’m sure if we could, we would!  Ha.

My trip through the culinary aisles of Great Britain have been subdued for awhile.  I am saving myself for a trip to Brighton (the shore) to have my fish and chips.  Otherwise, its been a lot of crisps (potato chips) and, believe it or not, coffee.  A marked difference since the last time I was in England — many more coffee shops.

In fact, while taking a break from my audio tour of Westminster Abbey, I sat on a ledge and sipped my “skinny” cappucino.  It was only after I finished it, I noticed it was Starbucks.®  Really?

More anon – time to take a nap.

And, we’re not talking those donut-shaped tiny little oat cereals.  I am posting from London, baby!  The land of fish & chips, fab Indian food, and baps (big ol’ luscious looking rolls).  Yum!

A glimpse into Janet Eats on vacay.  Vacations can, of course, be challenging on the food front.  There is a wonderful technique in Weight Watchers® that enables you beforehand to consider your weight goal.  Three choices: lose, stay the same, gain.  If gain, how much?  Lose?  Really!?  On vacation?!!!  You are a better man than I if you can make that your goal.  But, hey, it is YOUR weight loss journey.  I usually choose gain two-three pounds.  Generally, it works.  Especially if you add walking to the equation.  I tend to pick walking cities.  And, certainly London qualifies for that.  Even the little towns outside of London, which happens to be where I am staying with a friend.
