As an aid to dieting, we chose to go out for a meal this evening. This could have been a bad move, especially since we were going to a gastro-pub... well, the nearest equivalent to that sort of thing in the Newcastle area. I remember the particular pub in question from previous visits as being totally busy... heaving... every time. I rang before going to make sure we'd get a table.

Arriving there it was really rather sparse. The same could be said for the portion size. On this occasion, I was partially thankful, as I was trying to control my intake of calories. My Thai food was probably healthyish, but certain lower in calories than the larger portion I might have preferred. But size is not important? Right?

I don't recall getting a dessert, so it was a partial success on the dieting front.
