I've picked up dried pineapple, it comes in 100grm bags & 45grms is hexb so I'll syn the 10grms & dried figs, yikes they are expensive I thought but it's a 250grm bag which equals 5 hexbs at 40p each so that seems ok. BTW it's only 3.5 figs per hexb

I'm not sure how nice mini scallops would be if you had them seared. King scallops are lovely but the mini ones might go a bit rubbery

Are you not a big fish fan? I wasn't until my OH made me try some things! Bravery found!

 

[dudette2001uk]

I looooove fish pie. Not with salmon though, ick! Xx

 

[dudette2001uk]

I've never tried scallops. I think I might make that my new thing to try this week xx

 

[dudette2001uk]

I don't often have scallops but it's the only shellfish OH likes so I have cooked them. I fry off a bit if bacon, add the scallops and a few handful of fresh sage fry for just a minute or two ( it says on oack how long to fry the scallops for) then just serve with a squeeze of lemon juice.

I have looked in my cupboards and have some AH chilli and lime quinoa to have its three syns for the packet. I am planning that for my lunch as I have never had it. The best before dates Oct last year but looking on we. It says quinoa lasts for a couple of years so going to risk it! If I dont like it though I will try some in date stuff!!

Love the sound of this recipe for scallops xx

Thanks I was just thinking that as I'm reading, I've got dried figs, dried pineapple, soya, oh & that mackerel but can't count that as new I don't think, seeing as I normally eat mackerel, and those spicy chicken sausages, which weren't that spicy
