Haha if you want I can post you a proper sized garlic frylight?
Got a mushy pea curry cooking now.. Blended a tin of toms, tin of mushy peas and baked beans together (I hate the texture whole lol) then fried some pork, onions, garlic, chilli, carrot, mushrooms (just realised I forgot the peppers, probably for the best with how full it is!) and then a lot of curry powder, beef stock cube, then the mushy pea mix and then another tin of tomatoes.. Enough to last for a while!!
If this doesn't help for a good loss this week I don't know what will.
Now to decide on rice or chips with it... I do have some parsnips as well that I could make into chips.. hmmm!!

haha.. yes a lot. Probably about 2 heaped table spoons of powder. so 4 level ones maybe? haha.
And yeah I just tasted a bit of pork and my mouth is still burning, but I love curries hot! There's a whole seeded chilli in there so that probably helps hehe.
And yeah it does taste like a curry. I would say like a chip shop curry sauce. I haven't eaten yet (Will do in 20ish mins when rice is ready) so I'll let you know if it continues to taste like a curry or just "hot!!!!" haha.

I have mushy pea curry in the slow cooker today - pinching your idea MC

What I did was put the mushy peas, baked beans and tinned toms in the food processor, and left it on while I prepped everything, It was really smooth by the time all the veg and meat were in the pan. I would guess that I left it in the food processor for 5 min?
Snow : I hope you enjoy it! I didn't even think of doing it in the slow cooker.. good idea!
NM : Sounds lovely! I love stir fry.. no idea why I don't have them much lol!
I just got back from a nice long walk myself. Decided to deliver avon catalogues whilst walking the woofs. :chores016: I bumped into a woman at the end and she told me someone else covers the road I did though, even though it was on my official list that avon sent me for roads I should cover.. tad annoyed! Oh well maybe I'll still get orders.. If not I'll just take a huge pile to group :bliss:
Food so far today:
B: Grilled cheese 1/2 HEA all HEB
L: Chicken pizza (food processor'd the chicken and 2 eggs to make the base.. was actually quite nice!) Had tomato, onions, garlic, peppers and mushroom on. And 10g cheese (1/4 hea, rest will be used for milk in teas)
Syns : Bit of the OH's buttie (2) some mini chocolate buttons (1, worked out the syns haha)
May heat up some curry again for dinner, not sure.. Will decide later. Do have loads left over!
Sorry for the photo being naff.. this was just a quarter of what I made.. did kinda eat the rest.. hehe

Now that I've tried it I would not actually recommend doing this particular curry in the slow cooker - it never got thick so I ended up chucking in some extra lentils and leaving the lid off to and cooking it even longer to make it a proper consistency so we ate quite late.

Oh that's a shame, snow. Mine was really thick from the beginning. I found the mushy pea mixture hard to get out of the food processor with how thick it was, actually. :/
Ended up having curry again last night..
B: Cheese on toast with marmite, banana, cup of tea
L: Marmite chicken (I was really in the mood for marmite!) I fried the chicken off then flavoured with marmite, then put in some pasatta and soem of the SS tomato soup to use as a sauce base. With mushrooms and onions as well. It was very delicious!
I'm going to have something chicken and tom based for tea tonight, but not sure if I'll have rice, couscous or pasta. :/
Bought hair dye as well and my friend was supposed to do it today but never responded to any messages :/

Yeah I was surprised as it normally thickens no bother.
Shame about your friend not showing - what colour are you doing your hair?

Mystic violet (Schwarzkopf live) I was gunna go with orange, but there weren't any shades I fancied!
I realised my post didn't post yesterday.. And head is already blank with what I ate, lol! It was all on plan though.
3.5 lbs loss today, so I'm half happy..
Friend did my hair today, and she decided to do me a fringe.. that's like 4cm!!!! Some parts less.. It just sticks up and looks stupid. I nearly cried lol. :/
Luckily it's a very light one, so I've just clipped it back with a hairclip and I'm popping to the hairdressers when I can next get an appointment to see if they can do me a long thick fringe to cover it.. Sigh. More money to spend that I don't have. And I hate clipping my fringe back. My face shape can't take it.
So yeah, despite the loss I'm sad lol. It's stupid to get upset over my hair! at least the colour is nice. I think I'll only get it professionally done in the future.
But yeah, not eaten much today apart from dinner.. had enchalidas. I did myself 3 wraps but only ate 2, so that's 12 syns (realised a 3rd would make me go over 20) I also had a pack of pops (4) and a hifi bar (3) so I'm on 19 for today.
I just want a large glass (bottle) of wine right now. Oh well, maybe another day.
Gotta find hairdressers to call for tomorrow..

Well done on the loss! I used that colour hair dye last year, I loved it but had to change as it was a hard colour to look after it looks fab in the sun though.
Hope you can get your fringe fixed!
