How old are yours Mary??

From Sept I've been asked to look after my middle son's 2 boys, 2 tuesdays a month - they're 1 and 2&1/2 ..... that'll be fun - the others are 8 & 5 (eldest son's adopted 2) and 3 (stepdaughter's)... all boys xxxx

The Grandson I had up the other day is 7 but I also have a Grandson in Scotland who is 5, we dont really get to see him very much due to his Parents (My Son and his ex not together any longer) and I have another Grandson of 10. I love to see them, but I also love to see them going home........lol.

oh you are making me sad. I have not seen my little 18 months old grandson all week, cos of this swine flu. I miss him.

Mary where can I find the recipe for healthy chips?

 

[kered]

Joy, just peel your spuds and chip them as usual, then I make the chips in two ways.

1 - Put chips into a food bag and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, give it a good shake and place on a baking tray and cook for about half an hour in a very hot oven, I cook them around 220, turning them every now and again. During cooking you can always squirt them with frylite if they are drying out too much.

2 - Just place chips on a baking tray and give them a good squirting with frylite spray. Squirt with frylite during cooking if necessary. Again cook for the same time and same temp.

I love them and I make my roast potatoes in the same way now. You can also sprinkle them with anything while cooking. I like to sprinkle with sea salt and paprika, but you can use anything to your taste.

Oooh I know what you mean about energy or lack of it, after an hour with my Grandson I am ready for a LARGE vodka

[kered]

Hehehe, I know, but I cant drink on my 4 days in work, so I usually drink on 3 out of my 4 days off, but I might try and cut that down to 2 days.

Well just not organised today at all and feel very lazy...must have been the chocolate last night - nothing to do with the vodka!!

Nights tonight and I dont have a clue what I am going to take to work, done absolutely nothing all day except hang a load of washing out.

OH grilled some bacon this morning and I wasnt hungry, so I put mine to one side.

Up to now I have eaten:-

Midday - 2 slices of wholemeal bread toasted with 2 extra light cheese triangles and 3 rashers of bacon.

Will edit later once I have thought about what to eat and take to work with me. I hate feeling lazy like this.
