Afternoon Claire

Don't worry, it will come off again quickly!

Happy shopping - I'm just in the door myself.

Do you think that you are overdoing the processed stuff? Jim's "frankenfoods"! Try a week with as little as possible and see what happens? I know it hurts but I have forsworn alcohol this week to see if that makes any difference to me..............

 

[British_Claire_84]

Yes i guess you could be right Bren. Just been to the market and bought celeriac, purpley-green savoy cabbage, mushies, cucumber, loose leaf lettuce, aubergine, strawbs, brocolli.

Not long been up and about, really sleepy atm.

Just cooking a gammon steak to have to see me through till tea which i intend on doing 2 fresh 100% beef burgers and celeriac chips with some greenery.

Does anyone know the best way to do celeriac chips??

 

[ladyfelsham]

I posted some recipes on the recipe thread, will see if I can find them - but basically, chop up like thick chips, parboil and then with the lid on, shake them about a bit to roughen up the edges, then in the oven at 200c for 30-35 mins.

 

[British_Claire_84]

Thanks hun, i'm really looking forward to them! Is it best to spray them with oil before putting into the oven or having any oil on the baking sheet?

 

[Dietkitty]

I heat the oil in the oven first them drop the chips in and turn them over in the hot oil.

 

[British_Claire_84]

Ooo, kinda like you do with roast taties? Okey dokey, that's what i'll do then - i can't wait for teatime now!! Cheers DK

[ladyfelsham]

Did you like the chips Claire?

 

[British_Claire_84]

They were v.v.v.v.v.yummy! Couldn't believe how much they shrunk in the oven though lol. Did half a sodding celeriac but only got a few chips. Made a lovely change though!!

 

[Spinoza]

They really are special, and feel naughty, don't they?

 

[British_Claire_84]

I loved them nom nom hehe

 

[British_Claire_84]

Morning. Feel a lil hungover lol. Kinda hit the Bacardi last night at home. Ah well.

 

[British_Claire_84]

Wi this morning showed -2lb on yesterday's so i'm kinda hoping that means i'm -1lb overall for this week?? Fuzzy logic i'm sure. Must stop weighing i think but can't quite bring myself to pack it in. Sometimes it's a motivator, sometimes it's not according to the results ofc.

D. Roast chicken, celeriac mashed with butter, savoy cabbage, brocolli, gravy

 

[British_Claire_84]

S. Quak's cheesy flax biccy thingies with soft cheese on top. Not toooo bad really. Probs spread them a lil thinner next time. They're crispy on the outside n soft on the inside this time round. Edible though and a nice lil snack.

 

[British_Claire_84]

T. Cold roast chicken, 2 poached eggs, cucumber, lettuce, mayo (Jim will be proud - greens twice in one day!)

 

[British_Claire_84]

S. Pepperami, strawbs n cream
