On a Sticky Wicket
A bit of a sticky situation has arisen on the frontline of the War on Waist.Not to be too big headed, the calorie-counting crusader considers himself to be at least capable in the kitchen.
No match for the Masterchef brigade but confident of creating tasty culinary offerings.Well, the big lad met his match this week. Full of creative ideas and low-calorie optimism the gigantasaurus decided to add Vietnamese rice paper wraps to the belly-busting menu. Images on the packaging oozed healthy crunch.
What better way to add a bit of sophistication and spice to that rabbit food. The apparently fool-proof instructions should have resulted in a delicious treat to dip and eat. But, all that the lard lugger was able to produce was something that could, at best, be described as a sticky mess.
Worse than that, this was produced while on holiday and unveiled before a table surrounded by several generations of family, who had already partaken of a few pre-meal tipples. Imagine the leg-pulling and ridicule as the dipping delight turned out to be too sticky to handle, too tough to cut and far from too good to be true in the search for tasty rabbit food wraps.
Still, there is a low light beginning to glow at the end of the tunnel of hunger. While allowing for the fact that the step of faith was on to a different set of scales while on holiday, a milestone has been reached or maybe even passed in the War on Waist.
Thanks to a lot of walking on beaches, early morning exercise for the dog and sticking to rabbit food (plus the odd steak - well it is a holiday) man mountain is hovering just above or just below 20 stone. I know that’s huge but it seems quite a long way down from the top of the mountain.
