Thanks Tiger-Lily. I sometimes struggle to get my 1/3 SF foods on my plate, especially at lunchtime. I find the soup helps to achieve this (and it is very filling too). I'm sure it won't take long before I'm sick of the sight of soup, but I'll persevere as long as I can.:eek:

Hi there Jayne, been away looking after grandkids since I last looked you up. No diaries while away as no computer. Must get a phone with all that stuff on it.

Anyway your diaries are still looking good. Keep it up. I gotta get weighed in the morning.

Catch you later

Hi Doreen, Thanks for still looking. Pity about my dinner choice last night. Hey Ho! Onwards & upwards
 
I put on 1lb. It was my birthday and had rather a lot of chocolate birthday cake.

That dinner was only one meal so should be ok x

Hi Jayarr was just wondering what a stonewell pan was!? Do need oil in it?

Hi Tiger-Lilly,

Apart from my Philips Airfryer, this has got to be the best purchase I have ever made for the kitchen. If you have satellite/cable t.v., check the shopping channels out, you will always find them there. They are non-stick pans, which look like granite. They are very non-stick that you do not need ANY oil (even frylight) when cooking. This includes "frying" an egg. You only have to crack the egg in the pan and put the lid on. The steam generated cooks the top of the egg. Omelletes are to die for. They clean exeptionally easily too, just a wipe with a cloth and nothing sticks. They are fab, as there is no oil aftertaste in any of your food, just the way the food should taste.

Listen to me, I should be a sales rep for Stonewell! Rant over :D
