Well done on the loss

At least now you know what works for you and you don't have to feel bad about a few drinks every week.

 

[Ali*]

:clap::clap: WELL DONE!! :clap::clap:

 

[Debridger]

Well done on the loss

At least now you know what works for you and you don't have to feel bad about a few drinks every week.

Thanks.
I know, what a result - drink beer, lose weight - now there's a challenge I can meet!! maybe a new marketing campaign
I've always counted it, so I was happy to drink, but thought maybe it would help if I didn't, but it was worth a try

 

[Debridger]

Cheers Ali - 2 for you too, well done

WK36 D2 (Sat 10th Sep) - Off plan

We were having a day out today, Essex Country Show, great day, weather was good, and as we were having fish & chips too... thought I'd have a day off, not go stupid, but not count anything, so if I STS this week, so be it

The show has steam engines, vintage cars & motorbikes, then country stuff too sheep sheering, horsey things, as well as a fun fair, lots of stalls selling everything & nothing, old trucks, romany gypsy caravans, new motorhomes, you name it, it was there.... just imagine the walking... oh of course there was a beer tent (1 pint each only - that's not 1 pint of each lol) thre was a foodie area, so we had a few samples, you know, cheese, sausages, hams... but just a teeny bits on cocktail sticks... he had a pastie, I didn't, but I did take a couple of alpen lights and some diet lemonade with me I looked at the jacket spuds, but they were a complete ripoff... so I didn't bother.

We got home quite early, via the chippy and it was flipping lovely, haven't had fish & chips since early June on the way home from the US... so, we shared a bag of chips... but I had a large cod - well, it was more whale-like, mahoosive it was, it hung over both edges of my large dinner plate .... I ate most of the batter (no point in getting it from the chippy otherwise) a large saveloy, a few gherkins (trying to get some superfree lol).

We were so knackered, when we'd got back - all that walking probably, and a huge dinner, we were nodding off on the sofa, so at 630pm, we decided to have 40 winks... yeah right.... woke up 0730 Sunday morning... that was 13 hours straight sleep...!!

Went to see my Mum, she wasn't expecting us, so she was plesantly surprised... she offered us a bacon sanwich - dutifully declined (I'd had a resonable breakfast anyway),it wouldn't be 'my' bread, and the bacon would be cooked in fat I think, so then the biscuits were offered.. didn't have those either - so a nice round trip of 105 miles

mushy peas, baked beans, tomatoes, rice lf natural yoghurt, lentils, onion, courgette, mushrooms, tomato, cucumber, wholemeal pitta (HEB1)

What is this cumin rice and pilau flavour lentil you talk of? Sounds lovely! What did you think of the mushy pea curry?

Love the SW naan bread!

 

[Debridger]

Cumin rice - easy, cook rice, when nearly ready add chopped onions, then when softened, but still firm, drain, stir incumin seeds - really tasty

Mushy pea curry, I always purée mine, and use it as a base - tho last night just chucked it on top.

The pilau, lentil thing....onion, courgette, mushrooms tinned lentils, cooked in a little water with schwartz pilau rice seasoning...simples ;-)

The pitta just needs 30secs in the microwave.... Goes soft and floppy - might see if I can get it more naan like

Actually I enjoyed it so much - gonna do it again tonight - got my chicken out, so will so tandoori chicken as well. Mmmm
