Thursday 26th April Green
Breakfast: Coffee & fruit 1 HEXA
Lunch: Little bit of leftover beef 0.5 syns for mustard & cornflour, <1 HEXB for beef, plus a papaya in lime juice with honey and Total 2 syns for honey
Tea: Julesm/Jamie Oliver's Baked Orecchiette, with a side of salad and sweet spicy veg 1 HEXA & <1 HEXB for parmesan & oil, 1 syn for honey
Snacks: Snap peas, baby corn, tomatoes
Now THIS is what I call pasta :drool: :
Ive never been a massive fan of pasta, I mean I like it and all that but to me its all about the pesto or whatever you put on it, but Ihave obviously never had real pasta! The orecchiette was AMAZING, fab, loved loved loved the chewiness and bite to it, the sauce and everything was great too but I never knew the pasta itself could be so amazing! I dont like fresh pasta, always too sloppy, and standard penne etc is just fast food really, but this was just WOW! Did it with a side of sweet, spicy roasted veg & a salad.

Thanks lovelies
Dirtydancing - the veg is a couple of red onions cut into thick wedges, a couple of red peppers (chopped), a box of baby tomatoes (about 250-300g) a chilli or two (finely chopped) and usually a courgette (although I didn't have any for this one) - anything thats a soft, light mediterranean veg really. Bung it all in a tray and roast for 10-15 min, then mix it with a tsp or two of honey and give it another 10-15min to crisp up.
@ suzyflo yeah Im from soooo near Yorkshire but from the other end to you Was East Riding, then S Humberside, then N E Lincolnshire. But basically its wrong side o t'Humber Cleveland, there used to be a bus went past that said that on it, I always thought it was Clever-land, where all the clever people live

I am getting very behind:
Friday 27th April Green
Breakfast: Coffee & fruit 1 HEXA, 4.5 syns for coffee syrups
Lunch: None
Tea: Pumpkin & coconut curry with green bean salsa<1 HEXB for cashew nuts & oil, 5 syns for coconut milk
Snacks: Lots more coffee so another 1 HEXA? carrots, tomatoes, Quorn slices
I got some of those Monin syrups like they have in Costas etc. I have no use for a gigantic 750ml bottle in one flavour but I found these mini sets on ebay where you get 5 different flavors in little 50ml bottles, it was about six quid, so I snaffled one! Caramel, Vanilla, Hazelnut, Cinnamon and Gingerbread. They put too much in in Costas, a teaspoon is about right for the size of my mug, so I'm currently ODing on ginbgerbread coffee
And here's din dins, was alright but I dont think Id bother again.

Lunch: Salad 2.5 syns for dressing
Tea: Cardamon-roasted cauliflower with pistachio & green pepper salsa and leek, tomato & coconut pilaf <1 HEXA for milk, <2 HEXB for oil & pistachios
Snacks: Quorn slices, about 40 syns for wine
Another Denis Cotter, OMG the cauli was AMAZING! The pilaf was nice too but the cauli you could do with all sorts, it'd go with curries or BBQ's or salads, loads of stuff, nomtastic!
Pics are a bit glow in the dark, I cant fathom this camera replacement, it goes from ditchwater to lkuminour without me touching anything
But nom! Cardamon-roasted cauliflower! :drool:
