NannyDoreen & Upndown's daily diaries

Shame about that 1lb on Doreen, to spoil your run of losses but you know why, that's the main thing. Its worse when there is no apparent reason for it.

Mmm, quark... I love it and there's a couple of ideas on there I've not tried. There is nearly always some in my fridge and the new one from Tesco is even thicker and creamier than the one I used to buy, so is even yummier. x

I do know you are right, the trouble is as well that was 2 weeks weight loss gone. My losses have been small. Anyway it is a new week and I was on track yesterday and have even save some of the bolognese for lunch today or tomorrow.. Can`t remember the last time I did that.

Don't be too down-hearted, Doreen. Cloudy's right - at least you know why. I hate it when you've been really good and then have a gain. Thanks for the Quark usage list. Must admit, mixed with things, it definitely adds a Syn Free creaminess to recipes. I much prefer it to cottage cheese in the quiche recipes. I'll probably use it more widely now I've seen your list. xx

I was quick wasn`t I. Have lots of time when not children sitting. I notice you have a new page for the list. I won`t be far behind you. Will let you know the page no. when I do.

Thanks, Doreen. Only just seen this! xx

Your soup sounds tasty Doreen, I need to make a potful tomorrow. I made speed soup last week but it makes my tum SO noisy and I didnt' much care for the cabbage in it (though I know I could leave it out or sub it for another veg). I think it might be a tomato based one that I make next though.
Nice low syns, you're doing well today. x

Thanks. My soup was ok. but not as nice as the bns one. I need to put curry powder in each portion as I reheat it for a bit more taste. I am not keen on the sw tomato one. I defo would not like cabbage in it.

Not really tink, I got up late as I was up in the night. Had a couple of bad head days. Not sure why. I have cooked a couple of minced beef meals for the next couple of days or freezer and a friend and I will be walking to the local cafe this pm. Pretty boring really. What about you.
