Daz FINALLY has a food diary

[dazd1970]

Cos your too busy concentrating on the booklet

Not got there yet. I have the laptop on the dining table and i tend to try to make a point of switching off and sitting in a comfy chair for a few hours a day, before my eyes become the shape of the laptop screen, and ive still not moved towards the chair. ​

i was told that i have lost weight on my butt the other day. By my Mother. While sitting in a coffee shop. Scary.

I will need to go for a bit now, have to put the heating on. My hands are numb. (think i am having circulation problems now, on top of everything else. pfffft)

Chips in the gadget as we speak. Technical hitch, the basket wouldn't rotate, but i have given it a delicate twist and seems to be ok now.

Pffft now you tell me - just after ive eaten im too full now for chips

 

[dazd1970]

As it stands, in theory, at this precise moment in time, i have spent 60 quid for a gadget that saves me from having to shake the frozen chips about half way through cooking. But i have no doubt that i shall get more use out of it than that over the next few weeks. Time will tell if it is just a fad or if i get to use it on a regular basis.

 

[Texty_F]

Hmmm I shall watch this space then - I hope you do get your monies worth out of it

 

[dazd1970]

I think i will to be fair. It just means i don't have to use the oven unless im doing bigger meals. My main concern though is the same as with the halogen and the fact that it dried meat out. I have 2 lamb rump steaks in the fridge of which im 2 minds of if to try them in it tomorrow, really will be mortified if it ruins them.

You could try 1 in there and one in the oven? just in case

I may just do them both on the griddle pan, and then try a chicken fillet or something later in the week.

I think thats wise - I wouldnt want to waste lamb steaks either

No, i nearly fell over when i decided to treat myself with them in the supermarket. The Easter weekend i was out for Sunday dinner and we had a leg of lamb, and I wanted it again as I haven't had it for so long. They are only small, i think about 300 and something grams between the 2.

I know Asda charges £5 for two and theyre not always that big

£4 for 300g, and there is very very little fat on them. I shall enjoy them tomorrow, my last bit of indulgence (not cutting the fat out) before i get back on it proper. Its the beer, thats what does me, once i brew a batch, because its in front of me, i have no will power to leave it alone. The idea is for it to save me having to pay supermarket prices. I do enjoy an ale, i don't go out much, and when i do i cannot get a decent pint where i go, so why not? But to have to brew 40 pints at a time, thats the kicker.

 

[Texty_F]

We still have to live and have what we enjoy, but your right its the willpower thing and when to stop. Its a pity they dont do kits with smaller amounts in than 40, though I suppose it would just mean that you drank them quicker and would still have to buy another one. If only life was simple eh
