Well done

 

[janetelizabeth]

Thanks Jaffa.
We were in a card/choc shop in Battle this morning, friend of Sarah's and was chatting to her about the (Italian) restaurant her husband has opened. Mentioned asparagus risotto (yum!)
Well I looked at menu online...£10.95.
Think as I have some English asparagus I will make one for lunch tomorrow. Haven't had a homemade one for ages...don't have any white wine so that will save some syns. Think it should be syn free by the time I've adapted it.

Scales down to 10. 8 1/2 this morning... feeling more encouraged after what I saw yesterday!!

Good scales!

Asparagus risotto sounds good!

That's posting before I had a coffee to wake me up lol, I haven't a clue how I posted omelette!

 

[janetelizabeth]

Glad that's been cleared up...I never eat omelettes, just don't like eggs in that form.
Lynne...we saw British asparagus in Sainsbury's & Aldi yesterday.

Jaffa, think I'll stick will syn free. Just had to search through several cupboards to actually find the jar of risotto rice, don't think I've made it since we've been back here.
It's going to be asparagus & pea!

 

[ginlin]

Lovely thanks Janet, hopefully my local Aldi will have some on Monday!

Been thinking, and I don't think I have ever made a risotto from scratch, so maybe that will be on the menu soon!

 

[janetelizabeth]

There's a few recipes on the sw website. I need to try and make it syn free if possible. I find eating rice 'dense' for my system so best to have it today in case it stalls the scales!!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I love bns risotto we had it quite recently if you scroll back through my diary as I think I posted a sort of recipe as well.

British asparagus in Tesco today

 

[janetelizabeth]

I do have half a bns in the fridge but am making a soup with it to use it up. When I suggested using it for the risotto Joseph didn't sound too keen.
Aldi's were out of carrots yesterday so Joseph's just gone for some. I decided to stay here rather than walk on my ankle. The other night/morning in bed I either stretched or twisted my ankle and it's not too good now. Looking swollen, little bruised and hurts. Seeing the physio on Thursday morning.

Cavegirl...hope all is well with you...??

 

[ginlin]

Oh dear about the ankle Janet, and wise not to walk on it too much!

 

[janetelizabeth]

I agree Lynne...I sort of tried to ignore it yesterday but could see something was wrong. Will I ever get back to driving again?

Oh my the risotto was sooo good!! Joseph described it as a 'sumptuous meal'...bearing in mind he started with the bns,carrot & coriander soup! The way to a man's heart is....lol

You're right cavegirl.... knowledge is power!!

Scales up 1lb... can only be the rice. I'm sure it will shift soon.

I'm sure it will, and the rissoto looked delicious and well worth the gain!
