I think I must have put on a stone (about 6kg) last night and still felt so full this morning.
Went for a Chinese fondue with my sis and Gran in Chinatown last night after work. For those not in the know, a fondue in this situation is a big pot of boiling water on a small heater on your table and you get a big plate of "raw foodstuffs" which you then chuck into the pot at intervals. You then fish out what you've cooked and eat it. At the end of it all, you also have a nice soup to wash down all the food. It's fun and delicious...honest! :) The boyfriend stayed at home as he reckoned it "wasn't his thing" but truth is, he would have loved it.
What I hadn't counted on was the amount of raw food we were given to cook, which included a load of rice noodles, spinach, chicken, root vegetables, tofu, fresh mussels, baby squid, salmon, king prawns, a variety of mushrooms and a massive whole crab!
We spent 2 hours cooking and eating - I don't think I've ever eaten so much in my life. I was so full that I didn't go to bed until 1.30am as I didn't want to lie down with my stomach so stuffed.
The bf said I had a restless night, tossing and turning - obviously trying to digest all that food!
I don't think I can eat today - only managed half a sandwich and I'm full!
I'd like to do this again, but I will not eat so much next time!
that makes me full just reading about it! Sounds delish!
