Nice Food

Last time we were away in Raleigh, we got into a bit of a bad food habit. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, eaten out, every day. The food portions are REALLY big. Nice, but BIG. So this time I was worried about how I was going to manage NOT to eat quite so much.

Somehow, Chris and I managed to get into quite a good routine of firstly having a SUPER breakfast in the hotel...they have a breakfast buffet...with porridge, museli on top, fruit on top of that. As you can see from the picture....it was huge! However, we discovered then, that if we took a banana or a cereal bar from the buffet, and ate that during the day, that we would not really need lunch...OR...if we ate a late lunch (around 3pm) we'd not need dinner!

For lunch, a couple of times we went to a nice new sandwich shop which is just along the street from SMA's warehouse location. It's called Panera Bread, and it's a kind of Bakery/Cafe and makes and sells the bread that it uses to make the sarnies it sells. It's REALLY good.

We had a couple of butties, I had fruit and homemade lemonade on the side of the sarnie, Chris had crisps (their own brand) and dunno why they put a gherkin on the side of each sarnie (it was yummy!) As you can see from the pic my (Italian special) sandwich was HUGE. This one I actually only ate half and took the other half away for my tea! Chris had a very messy tuna mayo sandwich. That was yummy too. The second time we went there, Chris had a mediteranian vegitables and I had the chicken sandwich.

We love Panera!
