It's the thought that counts...

My mother-in-law was visiting the French market in town today and knowing that rillettes are one of my favourite foods, had bought me a tub, which was very lovely of her. Unfortunately, what she didn’t realise was that rillettes are one of things that it is deemed inadvisable for a pregnant woman to eat (due to the risk of listeria) and so are off-limits for me. The tub is now sitting in my fridge, taunting me every time I open the door. It’s like being on a diet and having a cupboard full of chocolate. Hubby will enjoy them though!
