Cokes- back to it

ha ha cokes :D think eggs will be nicely done tho ;)
 
I just totally forgot! So glad I remembered (/smelt the burning :8855:) I think the smoke alarm was on the verge of going off. My pan can probably be rescued, they are pretty good ones, need to be with my cooking :whistle:

How can you stay in the kitchen that long when you aren't cooking anything else though?!?! I would end up munching something bad.

A very good diet day for me so far today. I would love a kebab tonight tho! But I have bought the pork chops so they will have to do! Maybe kebab tomorrow ;) see thats why I love Atkins you can have a kebab and still be in ketosis. Got to love it!
 
Chops were nice. I'm back to not really feeling hungry which is nice.

Had a lovely walk. Then John hoovered and Bonnie is till hiding under the spare bed behind me. She hates the hoover, Bruno chases it!

It's really nice here now, the sun is shining and I can hear the birds chirping outside the window. Lovely night x
 
morning lovely x
 
Morning Rachel :)
 
Morning/ afternoon all! It's so easy to forget eggs isn't it Lisa!

Amazingly I had a great lie in this morning. My Dad called up and we took the doggies for a walk, then I've been upto the shops. Managed to get the doggies new harnesses. Bonnie ate hers a while ago :mad: so had been using the "spare" rubbish old one and then Bruno's came to bits- still useable but only just, if he really wanted to get off he's strong and it could have snapped totally. Looked in Pets at Home yesterday and they were all rubbish. They had the type I use but only in red and in either extra large or small. Well Bruno is large and Bon is medium. The lovely assitant told me yesterday that they were expecting a delivery and stock would be out tomorrow. Said she didn't know what they were getting and I should go back today. I think she just couldn't be bothered to check. Anyway I had to go to shops today so called in and got exactly what I wanted. I was lucky there was only one in each size. So I'll be getting them in them shortly to go for a stroll.

I forgot onions and mushrooms at the shops. Has anyone had the cheeseburger pie without these? Could just ask john to get some on his way home as he needs ketchup and I forgot it while up there as well so know he's going to shops anyway.

Totm hormones are ranging today and I'm so sleepy even after the lie in, but otherwise I'm still doing well. Those anti cramping pills the doc gave me are wonderous. Only prob is I noticed they contain sugars, so may have a slight prob with the diet. I'll just have to struggle against it if I do as without the pills eating is awful.

Anyway happy friday everyone x
 
Hi rachel. Hope the pills small enough not to be an issue if they're working so well!
Xx
 
And happy Friday to you hun - I do the pie without mushrooms all the time, and I never use onions (hate the after taste that lingers...for days lol)
 
Morning Rachel, any plans this weekend?
 
Morning all! plans? Hmmm. Maybe look at cars for me and John to share. We had a little look last night, theres plenty out there just have to pick one that is "the one" really. Can't be too girly as John has to drive it, but needs to have the luxury bits like buttons on the steering wheel to control the radio for me. Seriously thats all i really look for in a car. That and the ability to get my dogs in the back too, of course.

After that we ended up at John's Mam's to pick up hair clippers for John, but we ended up doing his hair there. I've never done it before and was really nervous as he's such a perfectionist (ob why he picked me, lol!). It turned out surprisingly ok. Didn't get home til about 10.30.

Also picked up the atkins recipe book from MiL. Her date to get back on the wagon is Monday. She said she hasn't weighed since she fell off and won't weigh til monday. Shes off to a BBQ tonight and plans on taking a cake. I said she should just get weighed last night and then maybe she would make better choices at the BBQ but no. I think she's had a real carbfest for these couple of weeks and there'll probs be quite a bit of damage, but it's her choice I am not the diet police, as much as I would like a cute little uniform and baton!
 
My internet threw me off earlier, stupid BT connection.

Apparently we can't look at cars because its raining and all cars look perfect in the rain (says John). I wasn't planning on us buying one today just a quick look, but not doing that now. Been watching a bit NCIS so thats good.

I tried the pasta recipe in the book. Not very good. I have also made the brownie recipe from that book in the past. Again not very good. Starting to see a pattern. I wanted it for the ice cream recipes. I thought you just put all the ingredients in then shoved it in the freezer but no you need an icecream maker. I don't have one! May start looking on ebay but I'm a bit worried that I go to the expense of getting one then the recipe out this book will turn out pants anyway, you know. I'll look on ebay and see what I can find. I know this may be a daft question but can you make anything else with an ice cream maker? just so if it doesn't work out for ice cream I could at least look at using it for something else!
 
I've never had an ice cream maker hun, but did a quick google and it seems as if that's all it does?

What about this an a poor alternative? Make some sugar free jelly, add cream and froth it up once it's set to make mousse, then freeze? There's also some ice cream recipes on the Linda site - Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes - this one uses a food processor.
 
Ooo I like the idea of the frozen jelly/cream mousse. i could add a bit splenda for the extra sweetness couldn't I?! Need to get over to Asda for more cream, ran out last night. Very excited by this!
