LoChan's diary - hello!

Gonna be having red days until I go away now reckon with lots of goodies from the smokehouse bought in - got smoked trout, bacon, chicken breast, american 'corned beef' (which looks like saltbeef, assume it's free 'cause it's very lean), smoked cheddar and a small smoked goat's cheese.

I also bought some smoked almonds and cashews but I'll probably save those as holiday treats with a glass of wine :D

So maybe not -too- many adventurous recipes this week but I'll be well fed :)

never done this before so don't know if i have done it right but this is the link to the milk.
Bought it in tescos, just thought it was worth a try cos i don't use a lot of milk and worry a bit about my calcium levels.

you know cos i am at " that age":8855::8855:

if its awful i will just put loads of nutmeg in it :D

this is about the rice pudding some reason i posted it in your diary instead of mine
 
all the goodies brought sound fab
I love American style corned beef
totally and utterly yummy
certainly sound like you have plently of red days
covered there Lo
 
Morning Lo,

When do you go away Hunny?

I would definately miss a WI like I did, after your hols. That way If you have a good week when you return at worse u might get a STS or even a loss! :)

It means you don't have to be disheartened by a possible gain in-between & you must enjoy your hols!! :) xxx

The smokehouse is well worth a visit, there's some nice pubs nearby and a few walking places too so it's a nice day out :)

The sea bream was okay... really should have got the fishmonger to fillet it for me. I had to do it and was trying to hold the fish with a plastic bag as didn't want to touch it. Freaked me out that the fins and stuff were stiff - expected them to be floppy 'cause they look floppy when you see fish in the water :eek: Sea bass was really nice when I tried it just simmered in some soy sauce, mirin and a few other bits japanese style :)

I think you can probably get plain river cobbler that hasn't been smoked/dyed - the same as haddock :)

I'm a bit spoilt for choice really lol I couldn't afford smoked duck though, couldn't find any piece cheaper than £6! :eek: Went for chicken instead, half the price heh. Maybe get some duck around christmas for a treat - do you do anything with it or just have it with salads? x

Wednesday night - back on saturday night :)

Done exactly as you did and got my OH to hide the scales away, he's under strict instructions not to give them back until a week on saturday lol

Seems the best option - I know we both feel a bit knocked back when we get 'disappointing' results on the scales and I don't want my holiday spoiled by feeling guilty as soon as I get home either :)

How long off is London now? And how long are you going for? We've got our phantom tickets booked for 18th feb now too, more copying :D

Oooh, thanks for the tip, I'll give that a go - I'm impatient lol

Hmn maybe they do have places like that down your way but they're hiding? Think my dad randomly heard about the Cheshire Smokehouse on the radio one day, otherwise we wouldn't have had much call going round there, tis a bit of a well-to-do kinda place :p
 
Hi Lo,

I start my 2 weeks off on the 5th November.

The first week, we have booked a few nights In the Lakes at a posh hotel. (it's our wedding Anniversary the first week).

During the first week we also have a trip to Chester planned (where we got married), a day at the cinema & a day Christmas shopping at the Trafford Center. :)

Then the 2nd week is when we go to London!!! (Soooo excited!!) we go on the Sunday for 3 nights. Hubby has booked us in at Claridges for Lunch before the Phantom!! :) Eeek!!!

Then when we get back from London, We have a night booked in Mamchester! We are going round the Christmas markets during the day, then at the Children in Need concert at the MEN!!!

It's a busy 2 weeks!!!! Lol

I think my scales will be locked away for the duration and I will re weigh the week after I am back!

That will be 3 weeks of not weighing!!!! OMG!!! I will be over the moon if I can STS or even if I just put on a lb or two. I will still have 6 weeks to Christmas to totally hammer it!!!

Dead pleased for you getting your POTO tickets, Its something to really look forward to!! :)

Once January arrives, we will start 'The Curvys Vixon Valentines' challenge!! Lol xxx
 
I usually just have the smoked duck with some salad
and ryvita it has a beautiful taste and well worth buying
it'll be a nice Xmas treat indeed Lo
hope your having a good Sunday

Flippin' 'eck that's a very busy two weeks lol Bet you'll have a fabulous time though :D And wow, can't believe it's almost christmas market time already. Oh so dangerous, I'm afraid I'll have to visit the Dutch Cookieman shop, and 'The Best Macaroons in The World' man if he's there again :eek:

Looking forward to the valentines challenge - will be perfect for my phantom trip since it's the weekend after, will probably aim for the 19s :D

Mn it'll make a nice light lunch for Boxing Day probably, after the xmas indulgence :D

I've gone and had a bit of a Silly Booger Sunday :sigh: Not going to post my food diary as the syns are a little embarrassing - got into the 'holiday spirit' with too much gusto! :eek:

I've written everything down in my paper diary though to admit it to myself - so I can look back on it if I end up with a notsogreat post-holiday result in two weeks :eek: Eh well, so long as I'm back on 100% after wales it won't be a big problem. If I carry on though I'll be asking for kicks up the erse and slaps across the face on here lol

Will post pics of my sw meals though for the weekend (have been fine with those, just gone a bit snack happy :().
 
Saturday tea
Roast chicken, rumbledethumps, cabbage & gravy.jpg
Sunday lunch
Chicken & Bacon salad with roasted garlic mayo dressing.jpg
Sunday tea
Lamb Hotpot (from SW mag) & rumbledethumps.jpg
 
Mn, yes but think I'm at around 80 syns for the past two days and today isn't over yet :eek:

I forgot I did my first monthly check on inches and I've lost a total of 18 all over (highest was 5 off my waist) and the weight difference between the two measurements is 13.5lbs... wondering if part of the foodage is that old nemesis 'self-sabotage' hehe.

Hohum, as said - feel free to batter me on here if I carry on past the holidays next saturday, it'll be appreciated, honest :p
 
Hey hunni,
Firstly I have my 11 year old granddaughter Kia standing next to me and she just looked at your food pics and said oh yum who cooked those, so that's another fan lol
Secondly we all self sabotage from time to time the art is to definitely draw a line and not feel guilty and definitely not repeat it, it happened shrug it off and move on, just proves we're all human.
Fantastic feeling all those inches gone isn't it? Did mine the other day have lost 90.5 inches so far.
Hope you're having a lovely evening xxxx
 
Heehee, tell Kia thanks for the compliment :D Are the grandbabies all enjoying the start of their hols and looking forward to hallow'een?

It's been a really nice weekend apart from the sillyness (it's that naughty chocolate tart/scone from the smokehouse which is the main problem - conservative syn estimate for those two alone were about 56 syns :eek:). Heh I suppose I might aswell add * week arrived yesterday too, first one in about two months 'cause they're very sporadic, possibly means I can plead insanity :D

Gonna go watch Paranomal Activity soon - in the hope it makes me too scared to eat anything else :8855:
 
Kia has told me to tell you, that yes thank you she is enjoying her holiday very much and no she hates Halloween cos you get all the little brats knocking on the door saying trick or treat and taking all your sweets hahahaha....love kids
She just said she wants to do to them what Bart Simpson did and make soup of them mwahhahahahaha...needs more girl :8855: xxxxx

Oh and you know what we all have blips ...me too had about 4 cakes today and another 2 over the last few days and they were biggies, not even considering what they might be syn wise lol will just write this week off as a bad one lol...gain Tuesday undoubtedly and move on to next weeks loss lol xxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
PMSL at 'needs more girl' - you can always chuck Lucia in if she comes back to your house anytime soon :8855:

Love you're thinking lmao...Lucia wanted to stay the night cos the other 3 were staying and I got as far as oh o and went No sorry don't have the room and to be honest I don't and while I thought I might be able to handle her for 1 night the thought of 1 night and 1 day was way too much like hard work :giggle: shame eh ? lol xxxx
 
A crying shame :D

Still, if she'd stayed 'girl soup' would probably have been quite filling and sw friendly for tomorrow :8855:

Best get along and watch m'film now otherwise I'll never leave here tonight lol See you tomorrow xxxxx
 
I reckon there'd be too much gristle with her for it to be SW friendly :8855:, enjoy the film was going to watch one tonight myself but they have put Superman on yet again so I am stuck with being on here instead, night hun, sweet dreams :zz: xxxx
