Don't worry. Just draw a line under it and start afresh.
As long as you enjoyed it that's the main thing!
Maybe try and keep your syns a bit lower until WI to limit the damage?

 

[Tishbish]

Thanks Sarah, I have drawn that line. I don't officially have a weigh in so it sort of takes the pressure off me. Onwards and upwards :0)

Let me know what the cous cous cake is like... I fancy trying that. I made the half syn roulade a couple of weeks ago - it's delish. And I LOVE the syn free pancakes.

Mmmm your beef curry sounds nice.
For the oil in your cous cous a tsp is 2syns x

Cous cous cake

I make cous cous cake all the time. I used plain cous cous, mixed spice, 2tbls sultana, a peeled chopped apple, 1 egg and sweetener, mix it all up and put it in the microwave for 5 mins. It's not like eating a yummy sponge cake but when you need something cake like to eat it hits the spot. It is 4 syns for the sultanas so half a syn per slice.

 

[Tishbish]

I know it's rude to boast but my home made beef curry is AMAZING!!!!

 

[sarah83]

It sounded delish - I love curries in the slow cooker - the meat just falls apart! Might have to pinch your recipe me thinks!!

[Sukibix]

Oooo cous cous dessert sounds good! Did you heat the milk first and just cover the cous cous with it?

i added the couscous to the simmering milk in the pan to cook it through, only took 5 mins, i made a bit extra and put it in the fridge for tomorrows breakfast.
