Could be MSG Tanya, it doesn't agree with me either and I avoided Chinese food for years because of it but now our local restaurant cooks without it and I've been fine, ask them when you next order.

 

[summergurl]

Whats MSG Sandra?
I'm fine with all other chinese food its just the chicken balls. I'm thinking it might be something to do with the batter?! x

 

[SandraB]

It's monosodium glutomate....I think that's how it's spelt! It's a food flavouring enhancer and it used to be used commonly in Chinese food. I used to suffer badly with IBS and it really made it worse. It could be that they just use it in the batter or something, I'd give them a call and ask them, then you know what to avoid in the future if it is MSG that's your problem.

You can't just give up Chinese food.......mmmmm

Ladies, got to tell you about this cheese I had today! :drool:
Stood at the cheese counter in sainsburys and the bf noticed "sticky toffee cheese" .... thought i'd try before I buy and oh my word! It is DIVINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So much so that the bf bought 100g of it and its all gone already! :giggle:

Going to have to go get some more of that bad boy :drool:

 

[JanD]

Oooooooooooo ..... Actually I'd probably better give that one a miss xx

 

[summergurl]

Lol it is so yummy! I'm already planning on going to get some more!!!

 

[JanD]

Exactly! I'd eat the lot xx

 

[SandraB]

Thank goodness we don't have a Sainsburys! That sounds divine

I loooooooooove cheese, I can spend Saturday morning walking around our local French market just sampling the cheese and, of course, the olives and cold meats! You don't even have to buy any and then you don't need lunch either!

 

[JanD]

Phew!! I've been to Sainsbury's today but fortunately forgot all about that cheese!! xx

 

[summergurl]

Sandra that sounds like my kinda day!!!! Jan! How could you forget?!!!!!! :giggle: Seriously, good job though its so delish. I think i might have to skip buying more

I wish these pavements would clear of the ice. I want to get out and run but its near on impossible I feel like such a heffer. Its been a week now and i havnt run once. I was tempted to go to the field thats near me and run around that but its pitch black up there and theres not even one street lamp. Even asked my brother if he would take me to the gym with him but he doesnt go anymore :cry: I need to get a run in before xmas!!!!!!!!!

Food looking FAB Tan .... I don't know how I forgot about the cheese but I'm glad I did

Seriously bad news this weather for all runners I know! I hope it improves soon for you xx

 

[summergurl]

Me too Jan. Even if i can just get out for a cheeky 2miler i'll be happy - atleast i'll be keeping the running up instead of stopping completly so that by time January comes i'm not feeling like i'm starting again with the 1/2 marathon plan.

:fingerscrossed:

 

[JanD]

Fingers crossed hon xx

 

[kered]

Sticky toffee cheese...........that sounds particularly more-ish.
Hope you can get a run in soon Tanya.

 

[summergurl]

Oh it is mary!! :drool:

Lunch was rubbish. Cottage cheese was off & i cooked my chicken breast for too long

 

[kered]

I hate chicken cooked too long, it is sooooo dry.
Try wrapping it in a couple of rashers of bacon, seals the juices and the chicken is so moist then.

 

[SandraB]

Tanya can you not hit your local gym and use a treadmill instead? Sometimes the scenery can be quite interesting and just bung your iPod on .....my gym has loads of sky channels available on each of the cardio machines.

 

[summergurl]

I'm not a member of a gym I refuse to pay the extorniate prices when it's something I hate doing and can do for free outside.

More ice this evening. I'm really starting to get peed off with it now :cry: I might just chance it tomorrow and if I fall I fall :sigh:
