What: Victoria Sponge (6oz)
Why: It's in my schedule
Last Lard: Yesterday
Last Cappuccino: 3:32pm
A full bodied but light sponge, cutting it to it with my fork it felt springy yet light as indeed a Victoria Sponge should. Small crumbs falling off the side exposed the delicate and uniform baking process so important in the creation of such a quality cake.
On the palate it was not to disappoint. Melting slowly on the lounge with a not displeasing but slightly overpowering taste of fresh strawberry jam.
Washed down with some medium strength cappuccino, the second mouthful was also a delight and was not to be dominated by the coffee taste.
Lyric: Some stupid dance band

What can I do to get my sweet tooth back?
Go back to the beginner's schedule of chocolate buttons and Swizzel's lollies?
Lynne, I recommend a few careful savory sessions over the next fortnight, not too quick but with the emphasis on quality. Make sure the pies you choose are full bodied yet with light pastry. Chicken and Leek or even Steak Pie (so long as the sauce does not have too much alcohol in it) are a good start.
Only my opinion and other munchers may disagree.
Why: Mum wanted to try a baked cheesecake recipe and it was Sunday
Last Lard: Yesterday
Last Cappuccino: Double espresso about half an hour ago
I would like to say a full on fattening experience, but it was the low fat recipe from RW so not really...although three of us shared the whole thing!
Not that I have a lot of experience of these things!!
Yesterday ...
What: Home-made banana cake. Medium slice at lunchtime and large chunk at 7pm. And some chocolate at bedtime.
Why: Post-run refuelling. And because the cake is best eaten within 24 hours of being made.
And: This new cake-instead-of-fruit schedule is really working.
Today ...
What: Tuna sarnies.
Why: Rest day.
Last lard: Yesterday's banana cake.
Last cappuccino: Urgh! Large black americano, please.
Actually, although it's a rest day, I may just have a flapjack later to disperse the lactic acid build-up in my mandible.
what: home made mars bar crispy cake topped with melted galaxy chocolate.
Why: it's why I run
last lard: this morning, could have had cereal but there was a piece of flapjack left...and I will be running later.
cappucino: will be in about an hour when I have my day off lunch treat at the deli..with an apple and cinnamon muffin of course.
Lyric: One, two, three four, five..lets go for a drive.
question: was this written by my six year old niece, or paul Mcartney?
What: Tuna sarnies (snap velociraptor)
Why: 6M easy (and its back to running)
Last lard: Yesterday's baked cheesecake.
Last cappuccino: Two large 'mugs' of espresso, served like black americano...
no scheduled cake until the weekend but lots of dried fruit was the healthy but sweet kick i needed
That gives me a cake-eating streak of 9 days now, or 178 days if you count flapjacks and cheese scones.
Wouldnt want to do doubles EVERYDAY..but maybe 2 or 3 times a week now in my schedule !
Why: Because they were there.
Last lard: Yesterday's chocolate pancakes with ice-cream.
Last cappuccino: Sorry, black Americano. Two large ones today.
Lyric: I'm Not Okay - My Chemical Romance. Ironic really as I'm very okay!
No cake for me yet, just two bars of chocolate to help me stay awake today!!!
And three coffees!
