Tis Easter today, which of course means that the Easter Bunny, the good folks at Cadbury, and Jesus (not necessarily in that order) want me to eat some candy. And not just regular old candy, but the kind that vaguely resembles egg yolks, rabbits in day suits, and fluffy neon chicks.
I am a woman on a mission, however, and no amount of pastel food coloring, creme injecting, or resurrecting from the dead (not necessarily in that order) will sway me from my end game--to beat Blake at the DYJCMF Challenge.
With my parents in town this week, I have schlepped from one London fine dining establishment to the next, facing each formidable culinary opponent with staunch determination to merely consume a quarter of the plate, to order the lowest-cal thing on the menu, to reject all offers of alcoholic beverage. I have prevailed thus far; the Easter candy is merely the latest foe to be defeated by my steely resolve.
Fortunately, I have also been distracted from food by today's celeb sightings---Kim Cattrall dining with two friends several tables away from me at lunch and afterwards, Dame Judi Dench dressed in her French Revolution finest in a performance of Madame de Sade. In the absense of real candy, the "eye" variety can be surprising satiating.
Tomorrow marks the first week's weigh-in. Was it all worth it? Til tomorrow, dear readers. Til tomorrow.

Yay!! Nice celebrity sightings! And were you with your mom when you saw Dame Judy Dench? Did Judy take a double take, because she thought for a second she was looking at herself? :)
