She's chuffed you've said hello!
Vicky, I used to do it online and then stopped (can't remember why). I just haven't got myself in a routine to plan ahead that far again. I will have to though as I'm still v.sore.
I did some mayo with curry powder in and chucked some cooked chicken in, had it with salad and it was YUM! Need some salad dressing ideas though, not bored of salad but need more flavours.

POPPY SEED DRESSING

5 tablespoons granulated Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda
1/4 cup white vinegar

Whisk together everything but the mayonnaise. Add the mayonnaise and whisk until smooth and creamy.

3/4 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Pinch celery seed
4 drops Tabasco

In a small bowl, whisk everything except the oil and mayonnaise until well blended. Slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking until the mixture emulsifies. Whisk in the mayonnaise until smooth.

RANCH-STYLE SALAD DRESSING

2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon white vinegar
2 drops Tabasco
1/8 teaspoon granular Splenda
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon celery salt

1/2 teaspoon chives

RANCH-STYLE SALAD DRESSING MIX
1 tablespoon buttermilk powder
1 packet True Lemon *
1/2 teaspoon granular Splenda
1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dill
1 teaspoon freeze-dried chives
Pinch cayenne
Mix well and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator (see my comments below). This makes about 7 teaspoons dry mix. To prepare the dressing, whisk the mix into:
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup water
Chill a couple hours to allow the flavors to develop and for the dressing to thicken. Add 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley, if desired.
Makes about 2 cups dressing
* The equivalent of 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice or vinegar. If you can't get True Lemon, just add 1 1/2 teaspoons real lemon juice or white vinegar when you add the wet ingredients.

I don't care for my ranch dressing made with all mayonnaise so I use part sour cream for a fresher, less stodgy, flavor. You could omit the sour cream and use 1/4 cup more heavy cream instead. You could also make a dip by adding the mix to 2 cups of sour cream. I recommend storing the dry mix in the refrigerator because the manufacturer of the powdered buttermilk says to store the open can in the fridge.

6 tablespoons Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda
1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup low carb ketchup

Pinch celery seed
Put all of the ingredients in a jar or bowl and blend well with a stick blender. Keep refrigerated. You will need to stir it well before using.

Back to SW again
Big hugs hun, can you take any painkillers to ease it?

Susie, can't take anymore for about an hour. I'm on Naproxen (anti-inflammatory stronger than Ibuprofen) and co-codomol. Until I've had my x-ray results and (hopefully) final diagnosis and referred back to the GP he can only prescribe me these. I have to wait another 3 weeks to see the Rheumy again. It's so frustrating. Unfortunately, they aren't strong enough to take the pain away and sometimes don't even take the edge off. I keep stretching and lying on my back to try to lengthen my spine to see if it helps and can only be on PC for a little while - which isn't a bad thing as PC's and laptops are so bad for the posture.

Not much stops me from having a drink Vicky! I'm soooo terrible! I meep saying I need to stop as it might make my body a bit better, but it'll only last about 10 days! How bad am I? Plus, it's a good pain killer..............

Morning!
God I feel like a right Moaning Myrtle.
But at 12.41 this morning I woke up feeling very odd and then had to run to bathroom as I wanted to be sick. I wasn't but then I started coughing really badly and it was really hurting my throat. Load of stuff in my mouth, spat it out - fresh red blood. Carried on coughing, lumpy green stuff came up. Couldn't stop coughing. Really, really hurt. Throat felt raw. Ron got me cough medicine and inhaler, neither or which worked. I had to just try to control my breathing and eventually it stopped.
Happy days.
Needless to say I'm off to the Dr's today (hopefully if he's not booked up).
