The savoury loaf I made for the taster session was very popular and wasn't too spicy at all. I left about a quarter of it here for ME!!
Someone made SW macaroons ....boy they were nice! She used 190g sugar and not the sweetener. And also baked them a little longer to dry them out.

I have made macaroons before we sweetener and coffee granules and they went down well

So they we're about 1 syn each I think as I know I had to use some sugar but I can't remember which recipe I used

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Just realised I meant meringues !!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I off today but I don't have any meals planned yet.
Meeting a friend for coffee at 11 am then this afternoon will probably involve cleaning the floors etc

All that onion in the omelette looked tasty...I forget how much I like onion so generally just chop it in for taste.
Have a nice day!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I think my mother uses a whole onion !! It just about holds together.

 

[janetelizabeth]

I was very liberal with mine today in the stir fry...tasty!

Did you have some sunshine today? This morning it was lovely here and then down came a heavy shower of that fine rain...this weather makes you wonder what to wear.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

We had sunshine most of the afternoon so I am glad I put a wash on as about half of it has dried. The rest I have just put on the heated airer. It is cold now the sun has gone in

I have to admit to getting my fix from drinking Old Jamaica light ginger beer...I drink some while I'm preparing lunch (my usual picky time) and that seems to keep me going.

Wholemeal roll hex b

Chocolate 7 syns

Total 25 syns but that was expected

 

[janetelizabeth]

Mmm those chips look good!!
Somehow I think it's unfair we have to count syns for actual food...yummy snacks OK but not real food!! We could rebel and make our own rules...that would lower our syns everyday!!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I guessed on the burger syns as I couldn't see them on syns online. If I had had a piece of salmon or quorn steak it would have been free but I fancied burger and chips.
I didn't have to eat chocolate after as I still had a hex b so all my own doing really

 

[janetelizabeth]

I think that's one good thing about being at target...we can have what we 'feel' like having and a little extra chocolate is the 'feel good' factor.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Having another terrible day in the office but so far not succumbed to anything other then fruit.
Lunch will be leftover couscous when I get a chance

 

[janetelizabeth]

Sounds like you don't get a lunch break away from your desk...not good.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Now I only do 3 days a week I have a lot to fit into 3 days sometimes whereas other times I am staring into space.
But to lose 3 lunch hours and work past 5 against two whole days off there really isn't a contest.

Crisps got me this afternoon unfortunately

 

[janetelizabeth]

Sounds like a good solution to me.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Sometimes it works well sometimes it doesn't
