• Steamed hong kong style dumplings

Things my body does not want today:

• Eggs. I am so off eggs at the moment. John has been wanting to make me an une coccotte (spelling errors entirely mine) which is an eggy spinachy breakfast thing, but I really can’t stomach the thought of eggs at present.
• Coffee.
• Milk.

As for anything else, the jury is currently out.
