Dukan ? hope so!

Aw hun hope your shoulder is ok.

I've always liked to cook but have got lazy over last couple of years.

My prob is the my DH is a funny eater, certain foods can upset his acid reflux, a lot spices do it. he can't have ginger cos of warfarin, and he hates veg. So I'm stuck. LOL. I do try and give them the same meat type thing as me, and just add other stuff, but sometimes its not easy...well most times if I'm honest.

Ah thanks hun, been taking the brufen, which is helping!! Oh dear you have got your work cut out with a fussy eater, but then if its going to make him poorly then thats not good for him. Good luck keep trying the recipes you may find something that he likes.

I think this board is contagious, a few weeks ago we were all ill with viral infections. Now there's Chris & her teeth, Kirsty & her ribs, CD with her coccyx & now you & your shoulder & mystery abdomen pain.....I'm steering well clear of the lot of you

Hope your shoulder heals soon hun x

[Joodle]

Glad to hear you've had a good day lady! Next step: train them to cook Dukan friendly for you! What ages are they? Jx

Hi Joodle, I have a son who is 16, just left school, he's a good kid no bother at all. My OH is an ok cook, as long as it comes straight out of the freezer and is quick! I find im buying less and less processed food, so they are having to eat what im making lol, Cx

 

[Joodle]

No wonder you're spending so much time in the kitchen! Definitely better for all involved if you're cutting down on the processed stuff though! Jx

Had a busy day yesterday, singing outdoors in the Chester Music Festival all morning, such fun!! it absolutely lashed down and then it started to thunder when we were singing. Not sure if the gods were encouraging us to carry on or were trying to shut us up!! lol

Did all my house work yesterday afternoon, that must count for some exercise as i was flaming knackered afterwards. Mr friend called to say that another friend was doing a gig in her local pub, so we trooped off to see her singing, had a few vodkas and diet cokes, very sensible i was too, cant be doing with hangovers. In the second half my mate did a karaoke so unknown to me i was nominated to sing, well it would have been rude to say no lol. Had a fab night.

Shoulder seems to have sorted itself out, think the brufen helped.

Yesterday food choices were interesting
B Tuna fishcakes and a ff yogurt
L out and about singing, wasnt hungry due to all the fishcakes lol
D Chicken broccoili and carrots
S ff vanilla yogurt

Official weigh in today and ive dropped another pound!!

 

[CheeseGirl]

And another pound bites the dust!

 

[Jojo25]

Well done on the lb, sounds like you've had a good weekend & I'm pleased the shoulder is on the mend x

 

[CPL]

Thanks Jo, i was involved in some moving and handling stuff last week must have over done it, but i thinks ittl be ok.

Today i have made chocolate muffins with rum flavoured quark icing, OMG! gorgeous!! Had some chicken left from yesterday so i cobbled together the chicken with Italian herbs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, mange tout, tin tomatoes S&P and a glass of white wine, i put a chicken stock cube in and thickened with a little cornflour. Had this with toasted dukan garlic bread and trifle. Bought a piping bag to make those choux pastry thingymajigs later

Ironing is planned for this evening and catch up with Primeval and i recorded "Re animator - from beyond" on the horror channel last week so ill watch that while im ironing.

Have a good week onwards and downwards!! Cx

 

[Dukanista]

well done on the loss, Col. and please explain how you managed to make dukan-friendly trifle!

 

[CPL]

Thanks hun, the recipe for trifle is on the recipe thread it's really good. I put Gogi berries and a chopped up a muffin in the jelly. The choc custard goes well with the blackcurrant jelly!

 

[Joodle]

Well done, great to see another lb beaten! You've had such good steady losses since you've started, it's really impressive.

Mention of the muffins with icing have got me dribbling. That is definitely getting investigated tomorrow!! Jx

 

[Dukanista]

Genius! Added to my list of things to try. I made burgers last night, and lemon muffins this morning. That might be my favorite flavor so far!

Im fighting fit now Jo

 

[Jojo25]

How's the shoulder & mysterious issue doing now C ? & how did you get on with the choux thingmajig ?

 

[Dukanista]

hey Col, hope you had positive results at the doctor's. thinking of you...

Cx

 

[CPL]

Ahh thanks folks, ive been to see the doctor and all is well regarding the ultra sound, ive not gone back on the lansoperazole as it made me feel like kak! Ive gotta get some blood tests tomorrow and go back next week for the results. He said that sometimes scar tissue can cause pains, so i don't think its anything sinister maybe its just something that i have to get used to?

Had an interesting couple of days choir practice on Tuesday went well, practicing for the concert at the end of July. Last night went ot see Lesley Garret at the Eisteddfod in Llangollen in North Wales, fab night, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra were superb!! absolutely flawless!! It was just a wee bit damp!! infact torrentially damp lol.

Not had a chance to make the choux thingys yet but im deffo going to have a go. Shoulder is ok now just a bit stiff.

Food choices have been good made tuna fishcakes and turkey koftas, cooked a chicken so going to curry that for tomorrow, Dukan bread is going down a treat although i thought i was going to set off the fire alarms in work when i was toasting it lolI had a hot chicken salad sandwich OMG it was amazing!!

 

[ceridwen]

Glad to hear that everything is ok!
