Lou's Diary - onwards and inwards!

[Louise24]

Thanks both - I've stuck to plan today and feel so much better for it, also re painted my whole living room and scrubbed the bathroom with a toothbrush... I'm not joking about the toothbrush, it worked a treat to clean the grout between tiles, yay for that and cilit bang.

Another revelation - when I'm busy I don't think about food, busy is the future.

Just an update as gonna give mushy pea curry a go tonight..

Sunday - green day
B: Fruit salad and coffee
L: Innocent mousakka (2.5 syns) and a fibre plus bar (B)
S: Caramel options (2 syns)
D: Mushy pea curry with rice and sw chips

good luck with the curry and let us know what it's like. i LOVE mushy peas, but the thought of turning them into a curry makes me feel a bit sick!

 

[Louise24]

Karen.. one work - AMAZING, try it x

 

[mod-karen79]

have you got the recipe?

 

[Louise24]

I found it on here..... something like this...

* 2 tins of mushy peas
* 1 tin baked beans
* Diced onion
* Sliced mushrooms
* 3 tsps of tikka masala curry powder

Fry the onion and mushrooms and whatever else you want to add till soft, add the curry powder and cook for couple of mins to mingle flavours... add in the mushy peas and baked beans, stir well and simmer for 20 mins or so, serve with sw chips and boiled rice... gorgeous!!

Ohh, I added a bit of chilli powder too x

 

[mod-karen79]

Hi Lou, I'm slipping too at the moment, a hoard of gingerbread men ran into my mouth yesterday and I was helpless to stop them. And quite a few chocolates have been managing to do the same recently...
Maybe busy is the answer - my bathroom could definitely do with some toothbrush treatment!

 

[Louise24]

Oh my goodness, it was a windy night in my house, hehe, good job I live on my own, but the mushy pea curry was worth it.

Prawn - I blame the time of the year, it's cold and the tv is full of food adverts etc and xmas parties etc, etc, roll on January.

Hello diary, one more day at work thank goodness, am annoyed though as people are dropping out of the xmas party tomorrow night.. I'm still going to go but.. think I'm going to drive, I was going to get a taxi there and back but;
a) it would cost £15 each way
b) drinks = more money
c) hangover
d) alcohol syns and hangover syns
e) if it's crap I can escape

Have got xmas and my birthday coming up so it's probably the best option not to drink..

L: Baked potato and beans
