Rewind a week and we were celebrating my birthday. As well as the gorgeous cake I talked about yesterday we ate a smoked fish dinner from Cookies Crab Shop in Salthouse, North Norfolk – a favourite of Stephen Fry’s, read what he says about it here.

This is the healthiest fast food I’ve ever eaten. For the past four years we’ve been visiting this little shop come bistro and ordering a takeaway plate of food. As the picture shows you can order a selection of their own smoked fish with a yummy salad. Order, wait in the shop for roughly three minutes and then drive away with an omega 3 packed meal; you can also eat in the shop or the garden next door as the photo below shows. Bring your own alcohol if you like to have a drink.

We drove away with the (paper) plate of food on top of our car. I thought hubby had put it in the car, he though I had and 200 yards down the road it landed in the middle of the road. We had to stop and run back to get it. By a miracle and the amount of clingfilm wrapped around it nothing escaped the plate and just the beetroot juice was leaking out! So not only is a Cookie’s Crab Shop dinner delicious, quick and healthy it also seems to be indestructible!

Anybody visiting the area should make a trip to Cookies, with beautiful scenery all around and a view of the sea beyond it is a destination in itself.

This photograph shows Daddy and G with our takeaway smoked fish dinner before it landed in the road!

Woo hoo!!!!! My very first website, my first blog entry. It’s taken me about four months to get here and I’m proud to say from my meagre computer knowledge I’ve created this site all on my own.

Well I promise regular food related blogs and today how ironic that I didn’t use a meal plan, instead we treated ourselves and ate an Indian takeaway. It was delicious and can you believe it, thirteen minutes later and it was here!

Now, I do have one money saving tip: How often do you end up throwing half your takeaway in the bin? Often there is just too much food, so we order a meal for one and share it between two. We find we have plenty to eat, no food left over and no wasted money. Then we feel full up but not totally stuffed.

Off to bed happy now, I’ve spent all my evening working on my site and I’m proud to say I’m officially a blogger!
