Saved my mug from *insert nasty person in your office*

Said person keeps stealing my mug for his coffee!!!

Got these sauces while out shopping! Very good value! Me and my OH are tryin to avoid the takeaway so it works out much less syns than the new values for takeaways! The values below are for the whole jar! €1 per jar

I would recommend using 1/2 a jar between 2 people, keep the syns really really low!

20 for balti jar
20 for Jalfrezi
38 for korma ( I was like )
Only 14.5 for the rogan josh

Just had a wee egg in a cup with some mixed herbs to keep me going during Gaelic training tonight! happy it's free!

How did you make your sauce bubbly i kind of like the sound of them were they marinated first? Your really sticking to it well hopefully a good loss coming ur way. X

 

[tatabubbly]

Ooh bubbles! I hope so!

It was a recipe I got off the internet :

Cuisine: Main Meal Author: Samantha Milner Prep time: 5 mins Cook time: 2 hours 10 mins Total time: 2 hours 15 mins Serves: 4
Ingredients
4 skinless chicken breasts
2 cloves of garlic
3 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp paprika
2 tbsp chilli sauce
1 tbsp tomato puree
1 tbsp honey
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into large chunks and place into a freezer bag
Crush the garlic cloves and add to the bag with the chicken
Pour into the bag the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, chilli sauce, honey and tomato puree
Close the bag securely and then shake it well to combine the flavours
Leave the chicken to marinade in the bag in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours - overnight if possible is better
When the chicken has marinaded remove it from the bag and place onto a baking tray
Bake the buffalo wings in the oven at 200 degrees for about 10 minutes
While the chicken is cooking pour the left over marinade into a pan and allow it to come to the boil before then letting it simmer for 10 minutes
Remove the chicken from the oven and pour over the marinade sauce
Serve the buffalo wings between four plates with a side salad


It was nice! I did it with wings but next time it will be chicken breasts!

Thank you I'm going to give that a go, might omit the hunny as i'm not a great lover of it. I take it its the honey and chilli sauce that has the syns?

 

[tatabubbly]

Yup! Around 4 syns I think? Mine served 4 portions!

All good so far today! Might have a wee snack and some tea now when I get in after work!

Debating on whether to go out for a wee run as well!

 

[tatabubbly]

Oh TGIT!! Cannot wait until the weekend begins! Haven't got much on at work today so that's wonderful!

Me and OH worked out last night that with the exchange rate at the moment being so high for us here, our wedding will be all paid off at the end of next month!! Whoop! Then to concentrate on the Honeymoon!

We want to go to the Maldives so it's a little expensive but it will be more than worth it! Going to start hunting out hot, boob supporting bikinis and the like to take with me, I've already made a start into my white underwear pile!

So food for today :

Breakfast : all bran (hex b), milk (hex a) and blueberries

Lunch : leftover rogan josh from during the week (4.5 syns)

Snack : Alpen light bar and rest of hex A milk (3.5 syns)

Dinner : not sure! OH said he would be late tonight back so I'm thinking something with nice for me since I will be in the house on my own all afternoon!

Dinner was : yoghurt, diet coke, grapes and 4 rice cakes (5 syns)

Didn't get round to doing a run yesterday but I am going to laser tag later today which should be fun and I'll get a little body magic in as well!!!

 

[tatabubbly]

Hey all! Just sitting down here after a run around at laser tag!

I had a NSV, they didn't have any teabags left at Starbucks (like wtf?) so I declined all drinks and instead of over synning I kept myself in line! Got a few bits to treat myself instead of buying chocolate
