A friend came to visit today, we had done a joint order from Jlist and brought me my goodies.

Including my new medium (medium?!?!) Totoro T-shirt. Awesomeness.

Oh Purplebint... Because of you I have just spent a load of money!! I was scanning the 'whats for tea tonight' thread looking for inspiration & followed the link to your food diary as you seem to have really good ideas. And then I came across the popcorn tea discussion........ So a quick google later & I find myself ordering massive quantities of tea & flexing the credit card. Being a bit of a herbal tea junkie it was easy to find a lot to order! All your fault ;-))

 

[Purplebint]

Whoops, sorry

I think it's money well spent really, when I think of all the money I wasted on crisps/chocolate/diet coke/takeaways then spending a few extra pennies on some lovely tea is a fair swap

Life is too short for bad tea

Your food never fails to make me go "wow"! And I'm a veggie Loving the Totoro t-shirt and glad you reminded me I had one. Gonna have a look at that NotDog's recipe

 

[Purplebint]

I love the notdogs, I need to make up some of the mix this weekend.

Tonight's tea - Caulicrust pizza with herby twice baked wedges

 

[hjanea]

That pizza looks interesting. Can you taste that its cauliflower and how did you syn it?

 

[Purplebint]

I didn't syn it, just a hexa of cheese. I used a whole hexa in the base and another for the topping, as I ate half I call that one hex

As it was part of my main meal and with plenty of superfree, I wouldn't call that food abuse that needed synning

You can't taste the cauliflower, the texture is obviously different to bread dough but as I'm gluten free and can't have that anyway then this is pretty good.

You can make the base with smash/instant mash too, that works pretty well

Oooh no I agree with you re the food abuse-after all its just a way of using a vegetable isn't it and I suppose you could syn the cheese instead of counting it as a hex. I have to say I tried the smash base but didn't really like it-it tasted too 'smashy', but I used the ordinary one-it would've been better with the cheesey one I think. Think I'll try the cauli base-yours looked really good!!
