Lindsey is losing it! Weight, not marbles.........

[pippalata]

BNS goulash sounds great. I also stick some cubes in my curries and chillies and it's great. Really adds to it. I've put some tiny pieces in tonight's cottage pie too!

 

[Lindsey-g]

Does it takes ages to cook Pip? Worried that it will still be hard and everything else will be mushy.

 

[pippalata]

40 mins? Depends on how big the chunks are. I make mine into little cubes and add it first so it comes out nice and tender and absorbs all of the flavours.

 

[Lindsey-g]

Thanks, I'll give that a whirl.

Well, Godzilla was great, we all enjoyed it. Lots of action. Took snacks with us to save money. I had more than my syns, again! Weight watchers crisps, mr Kipling cake, mini packet of haribos and an alpen light.

 

[pippalata]

Much better than the ice cream stand! How was the film?

Thursday 22nd May

Friday tomorrow, whoop, whoop and no work for a week. We had a massive storm earlier, thunder, lightening, hailstones, the works. Thankfully it stopped in time for the school run. Weigh in tomorrow. I am thinking a gain could be on the cards following last weekend. My son returns from his school trip tomorrow so we are going to pizza express for dinner. Don't laugh, but I have never been there before however I have £40 clubcard vouchers to use before 30th May. Really Looking forward to seeing my son, house has nit been the same without him but there haven't been any rows which makes a change. Not sure what we are doing at the weekend yet so hopefully will be able to eat normally. We are away next week though but intend to take mist of our food so shouldn't cause too much damage!

breakfast: branflakes, skimmed milk, berries

lunch: JP, salad, sweetcorn, mayo (2 syns)

dinner: chicken casserole (colmans packet, 2 syns per portion?) with new potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, peas, sweetcorn.

desert: banana, toffee Greek ML, with crushed twirl (4.5syns)

snacks: Apple, peach.

How did the casserole turn out? I'm always dubious if those packs. Don't know why - silly really!

Glad to hear you're son is back. Pizza express do 500 calorie pizzas so only 25 syns minus the free bits / healthy extra allowances. Go for one of them and I think you'll be ok.

 

[Lindsey-g]

He's not back yet, it's tomorrow afternoon. Just been looking at the menu and I think the leg era is the way to go, they have a new hot and spicy one. The casserole was ok. I font usually use packets but wasn't sure what to put in a chicken stew as never made one before. Was fun trying to get the skin off the chicken quarters. NOT! Slimy chicken fat over my hands, in nails, over knife. Eugh.

 

[sarah83]

I hate skinning and jointing chicken too - yuck yuck yuck definitely one of my worst kitchen jobs.
Shame though it's the cheapest way of doing chicken a lot of the time

 

[Lindsey-g]

Hi Sarah, never attempted to joint one, don't think any of my knives are sharp enough. Really struggled to get the skin off the knuckle thing at the end of the drumstick. Horrible job, but the chicken quarters were only 1.34 I think in aldi (for 2), bargain!
