Advice for the PrawnchopSuey

[cheekychinchilla]

Is the Zumba class new? Maybe she didn't wanna throw you all in at the deep end?
Hahaha, good luck getting the kitty in the carrier! It's amazing how quick they get back in to them after the vet has poked, prodded, and stuck sharp things in to them

You know I really hadn't noticed about my BMI. Thanks so much for pointing it out

Hiya lovely - how did the cat get on? Hope you're having a good weekend x

 

[prawnchopSuey]

Hello All,

Cat was a a pain in the arse! We ended up taking the lid off the carrier completely, putting treats in the tray of the box then sandwiching him in with the lid. He then went a bit mental jiggling the box around. He was good as gold once we got to the vet's though, as always! And he did get back in his box without any fuss after the injection and weigh in (6.5kg! But according to the vet he's not overweight, he's just a big cat - wish the doctors would say the same to me )

Had a lovely day yesterday, went shopping in Meadowhall then went to see Stephen Merchant doing stand up in Sheffield. We had planned a meal out but I was so stuffed from a mahoosive brunch that we didn't bother and just had pasta when we got back home.

Looking tip top lovely... am jealous of your peanut butter control, I'd have polished the whole jar off if it was in the house, hehe x

Didn't end up having any yesterday after all though since I'd already gorged on toblerone! Oink!

[prawnchopSuey]

2lbs off for me this week as planned 177.2lbs

I was 173lb last Christmas so I hope I can be lighter by this Christmas. In which case the year will have been a slimming success despite my three months of piling it on

Let's hope the SW scales agree with mine this week...

Thank you Kat!! It's hard work! Long time no speak, how are you getting on? Still under the 10 stone mark, that's pretty darn good missy

 

[Louise24]

Well done Prawny, you're doing brilliantly, am glad I'm not the only one who makes a wall in their food to stop bits touching.... hate it when the egg and beans touch so have to make a chip wall. xx

 

[gobolino]

Well done on your 2lb I'm sure this year is going to be a slimming success for you if you carry on doing what you're doing...... its certainly working well for you I'm looking forward to Christmas already to be honest - he he!

 

[prawnchopSuey]

[Louise24]

Morning lovely - how do you make your beatroot rissotto? Am really wanting it for tea x

 

[prawnchopSuey]

Hi Lou, I love risotto, yummy and stodgy

I fry off some onion and celery then add the risotto rice. Gradually add stock for about 15 mins and let the rice absorb it.
Then add a pack of beetroot and its juice (just the vacuum packed stuff, not in vinegar obviously ), maybe a bit more stock and just keep stirring until the rice is how you like it.

It's delicious, the beetroot makes it nice and sweet. i think the recipe says to add dill at the end too but I'm not a big fan so just add a bit of pepper. A HexA of grated parmesan stirred in or sprinkled over the top is really good too

Oooh, I fancy it right now! Oh no, wait, I've got curry and chips for tea later, better save myself. Diet? What diet?! How do I manage to fall off the wagon with meals like these??!!

 

[gobolino]

Ha ha - I know what you mean with curry and chips We should count ourselves lucky really!

Enjoy your tea!
