I went to Who Wants To Be A Millionaire in NYC – insightful as to what goes on behind the scenes and how the show actually takes shape.

I work out 4-5 times a week for 1-2 hours doing cardio and weights. I’ve been doing this for about 18 months now. I’ve lost a couple of pounds and that’s it! I think I must consume too many calories, though I try not to… I don’t eat a lot of fatty food but do consume too much sugar. It’s a bit of an addiction. and I love to cook and bake, a lettuce salad just doesn’t smell like a hearty pie! However I am within my healthy weight range, and I figure unless I love to swan around in a bikini (I don’t really swim or ‘do’ beaches so… no) or want to be a supermodel (no thanks) it doesn’t matter if there’s a bit of padding around my middle. I’m healthy and fit.

I made my first bacon and egg pie, it’s currently cooking in the oven and smells great. Couldn’t be easier, and a great way to use almost-dated eggs in great quantities. Basically I lined a pie dish with pastry and blind baked it (baking paper with dried beans or rice on top to weigh it down) for ten minutes. Then I beat about twenty eggs with half a cup of cream, chopped some bacon and put this in the microwave to drain out some of the fat, then mixed the bacon with the eggs. Poured this into the pastry (after removing the rice/beans!) put a round of pastry on top (this was tricky cos the eggs leaked over a little) and in the oven… wha la!
