Alright I am definitely on a diet and this time I'm serious!  Yesterday we celebrated Mother's Day and both of the grandparent's May birthdays and their anniversary.  I made a big lunch with 4 appetizers, fish and side dishes, fruit, cake and wine.   We ate for an hour or more, I did the dishes, ate more cake, and then I took a nap.  I have spent this entire year here eating and drinking, and talking about eating and drinking, and writing about eating and drinking.  Next weekend we have two days of lunches/dinners out and about.  I have got to behave for the next 5 days or surely my liver will explode.  Just thinking about it is making me hungry.  This is a dangerous country.  xxoo me
