Forgive Me Father for I have Synned!!

It was my birthday weekend and I gave myself free reign. I had told myself I would do just that and not feel guilty BUT I am feeling a little guilty and now see that I am at a crucial turning point in getting back on the SW horse. I've had pizza, chocolate, a few bottles of prosecco, panna cotta and other naughty things. It's been great but I'm not itching to get back to being good again and following the SW plan!!!

Becky - you must be Irish - taytos and fecking!!! (Not necessarily together of course!!!!). Are you living there or in UK?

How do you like the Low low cheese - I think it is made by Kerrygold - is that right???

Becky - you must be Irish - taytos and fecking!!! (Not necessarily together of course!!!!). Are you living there or in UK?

How did you guess?! Yes I'm Irish but living in the UK!

LowLow is like manna from heaven, I suspect they may inject it with crack or some similarly addictive substance as it's really delicious. Have you tried it? Particularly nice in mashed potato or if a recipe requires cheese. You can get it in Tesco.

 

[Deathworm]

No, never tried it but have seen plenty of food diaries mention it. I will get in in my next shop then. I guess you also go for barry's tea? I know the irish nurse I flatshare with gets it occasionally. I imagine she stocks up when she goes home or perhaps her mum sends her a red cross parcel!!!

 

[AbFab]

Oooh you have to try it. I was a dedicated cheese addict before starting SW and at least LowLow tastes cheesy when lots of other cheese "products" don't!

I totally :heartpump: Barrys tea - it's the best!!
