Paul,s weight loss journey

[Pommette]

Supper: Poutine, pork chop and peas. Anyone any ideas on how to thicken gravy without using floor?

None whatsoever! Flour/cornflour they all class as syns.
What on earth is Poutine?

 

[RainbowRose]

Doing well Paul, good luck for tomorrow's weigh in

Pommette, as Paul lives in canada, I suspected it was a name of a canadian dish, so i goggled it, it is french fries. covered in cheese and gravy or sauce.

have a good day

 

[Pommette]

Thanks RainbowRose. Must have been having an "off" day yesterday. Never thought to google it. Sounds yummy if a bit synful!

Poutine is very nice. I used bovril for the gravy so it's syn value was 1 in total. Next time I will use bisto gravy powder as it thickens up better in the pan. For a nice twist to the above add ground beef and onions, yum yum. Cheese is healthy extra A and the fries are sw so no sins.

Today's food 29 May 2011.

Breakfast: Bacon, eggs and toast.

Dinner: Mash potato, green beans and peas.

Supper: Ground turkey burger, side salad and corn on the cob x2.

Snacks: Apple, banana and yoghurt.

I put some savoury, garlic and onion in the burger and it came out great.

Good luck to all my Monday weigh in friends.

Hi Paul

good luck for today's weigh in

Poutine does sound yummy, and something that I could quite easily live on ......but can't :sigh:

bisto granules are a good idea, you seem very handy in the kitchen, you put a lot of men to shame, well done!

Have a good day!

1lb lost last week, happy with that.

Well done on another loss.

Your cookery skills put me to shame! Problem is I live with an ace chef so I very really do any cooking these days (except for Chinese and Indian which he says are too "fiddly" and are currently banned anyway as I can SERIOUSLY overeat when I get stuck into either!)

Supper: Spicy pork and rice served over a bed of spinach.

Thanks everyone. I have been away for a few days, out in the woods with all the beasties. No electricity and running water, I had to carry everything in, it was fun.

Just walking today as I've been sore from exercise. I hope everybody is having a good weekend.

 

[Pommette]

Sounds a bit too primitive for me! Like my home comforts too much these days.
Hope you're having a good weekend too - not too hopeful for my WI on Monday (eaten too much for the last 6 days).
Good luck with yours.

 

[RainbowRose]

Sounds like fun! You and my hubby would get on like a house of fire, he loves outdoor life, basic camping etc, and would enjoy living in the woods..at one with nature etc

I like walking through the woods though!

Good luck for weigh in tomorrow, fingers crossed for you!

 

[tech1960ps]
