Sounds like a bit of an ordeal Helen, hope you're ok now and Mark's looking after you x

X

What's the acupuncture like? Is it doing you any good?

Eastern salmon is 1tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp honey & 1/4 tsp Chinese five spice (I think! Apart from the honey I just bung what I think is enough in!), mix it together in a baking dish, roll salmon fillet in it to coat it, cook for about 20-30 mins on 200c (skin side down if its got skin on and it's easy to pull it off once cooked).

It's nice hot or cold, first time I've done it with noodles, usually have it with salad, cous cous or new potatoes x

Yep he's looking after me, tried not to look at the needle but kept looking at X-ray screen thinking the fluid isn't supposed to be going there! X

Glad to hear Marks looking after you Helen
That Salmon sounds delish I must say xx

 

[DopeyAngel]

Salmon sounds lush Helen. I do mine in a little foil parcel with lime juice, soy, little bit of sweet chilli sauce. Like you say skin slips right off, and so so yummy with noodles. I'm proper into Asian style foodage. Hope you get a good night sleep and feel better tomorrow x

I've been cooking it for many years as its so easy and versatile it's a fail safe x

That's sounds good, think I'll give that a go sometime, how long do you cook it for? About 20ish minutes?

Not quite sure I'm going to get a good sleep as alarm set for 3.30am but some sleep would be nice! X

 

[DopeyAngel]

Yes about that, as soon as I start to smell it, then I give it another couple of mins and it's ready, pop a wee bit of lazy garlic and/or ginger in if I'm planning just to use the juices as a dressing for my noodles. Merry 3.30 you brave woman x

 

[Mumma K]

If you slip the skin off and crisp it up both sides it delish...I saw Jamie O do it and thought yuck....but hey....he's the chef and it works its awesome

Never thought to use the juices as a dressing, great idea x

So cook it first in foil and then take it out to crisp it up?! X

I've only had 3 pins in my hip at a time so it's not too bad. Feels funny and initially hurts when needle put in and moved about but think it is helping. I went private because nhs physio didn't really help and could only have a certain number of sessions.

I like the sound of eastern salmon. Will try that!

Thanks x

That's good, I've had a couple of colonoscopys in the past many years ago and they're fine, just a bit uncomfortable so nothing to worry about x

I came on here to say I weighed last night as its Mark's birthday today.. Lost 4lb!! Must have been a bit of fluid retention last week, on top of that I was on my period and I've had speed soup for 4 days, need 2lb more to get back to post holiday weight but at least I'm out of the 15's again! X
