Absolutely ladies - tasty, expensive AND fattening! (fab!!). I can see I'll have to go back to my "don't carry any money or cards to work" rule! They closed all stores in France ten years ago... I remember that man with the cats!! I just read, when googling for time of closure, that they're going to concentrate on fashion with this first store (phew!!).

Ref my lunch yesterday - in which I had a slice of COLD beef and chicken meatloaf. I definitely prefer both cold. Strange! Interesting you're the same Vicky! So that'll be a good salad accompanyment for PVs. I froze half.

So, another day, another dollar... and I'm certainly being made to earn my euros at the moment!
A+

A partner offered me a chocolate biscuit this morning. How to refuse? It's sitting here winking at me. I'm not remotely tempted but am unsure as to how to best dispose of it... donate it to my thin colleague? Nah - wouldn't trust her not to thank him! throw it in the bin? What a waste! Will ponder further.

But one thing is sure - it is in no danger from me!

 

[LVLLM]

Put it in your lunch box and take home for OH

 

[Maintainer]

in my salmony lunch box? ooooohh!!
I gave it to a nice colleague... She was pleased with it!

By the way Diary... four years ago today, I quit my 30 a day habit cold turkey. Yes 25 - 30 a day. I don't do anything by halves me.

I have been quit for 4 Years, 18 hours, 17 minutes and 31 seconds (1,461 days). I have saved £9,136.01 by not smoking 36,544 cigarettes. I have saved 4 Months, 6 Days, 21 hours and 20 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 31/01/2007 21:00

WOw very impressive! I like the way it tots up the health and money saved!

Well done on finding a worthy recipient for the biscuit too!

 

[Maintainer]

(I never paid full price for cigs, because people here were always travelling, so I took that into account. Just imagine if I'd paid UK prices!!)

 

[jaqys]

Well done resisting the biscuit, and the ciggies.

 

[Maintainer]

Thank you Jaq...

More resistance required. I've just been told it's "Chandeleur" tomorrow... pancake day! Might have another go at the Dukan pancakes I used to quite like!

 

[LVLLM]

is it pancake day here???

 

[Maintainer]

It's not the same date, no...

 

[LVLLM]

ah. Ive got pancakes sorted anyway low carb ones

 

[Maintainer]

I actually couldn't give a fig about pancakes this year - perhaps I'll make some tofu ones at the weekend (silken tofu makes nice ones) when I've more time. Without the traditional (to me) accompanyments (sugar + lemon OR golden syrup!!), it's not the same anyway!

[LVLLM]

LOL yes golden syrup. Ive got no sugar no carb maple syrup for mine yummy.

how are you this morning Jo?

 

[jaqys]

Pancakes with giant chocolate buttons mmmmmmmm, sigh.
Think I'll have to avoid this year

 

[LVLLM]

omg Jaq never had that!

 

[jaqys]

They melt beautifully between two pancakes, ahhhh. I'll miss toasted hot cross buns too.

Sorry for carb talk.

Back to lovely protein. Um chicken, steak, mmmmmm

 

[m-mouse]

Drool - there re two hot cross buns in my kitchen - I think I may have to go and put them in the bin!! My hot cross oatbran muffins should be ready soon though - although I am the hot cross one, because I want them to be ready now! It never ceases to amaze me how you can bung eggs and oatbran and random other things like milk, yoghurt etc in fairly random (in my case) quantities together, and it bakes into a cake. The wonders of culinary science!
