Scarlett to target one day at a time

[ScarlettStar86]

Lol yeah whoops it similar to what I said too haha! X

 

[ScarlettStar86]

Lunch with lots and lots of superfree

 

[ScarlettStar86]

2syn on mikado.

Burnt my arm on the oven getting my potato out and it bloody hurts now, been a right disaster zone this weekend! Lol although small victory, I managed to eat my lunch with tomato juice, beet root and baked beans without spilling anything on my white trousers. Hurrah!

 

[ScarlettStar86]

Dinner was yummy! Used 1syn on a splash of mirin. Had a kick to it though! Mouth still burning

 

[Franalamadingdong]

Haha, well done on not spilling anything. Now if i manage to not spill something Nate just smears me in something else. But normally I do manage to get food down myself too!

What was the mirin like? I saw a recipe using it and did wonder what it tasted like.

 

[ScarlettStar86]

Its almost a bit sweet, it certainly is when you have a taste on the tip of your finger. I think it adds a richness to the flavour, I find soy sauce on its own in a stir fry can be a bit salty but adding the mirin counteracts that without getting rid of the soy sauce taste if you see what I mean?

Got through dinner with no spills too lol! Very unlike me!

Had a few more mikado, taken me up to 6syns total for today.

Good luck with the job chicken. Supermarkets drive me insane in the membrane!!! I had a fella the other week basically shove my trolley into me to get to the card machine when I was already trying to move backwards ( I don't like people being in my space with my chip and pin so I try to give other people space too) and I was just about to ask the lady behind me to back up as she was RIGHT behind me when he just shoved my trolley back and into me. I was FUMING!!! And apologised rather loudly to the lady behind me for bumping her due to being shoved myself! X

Meaning I apologised to the lady to make a point to the rude Idiot! X

 

[ScarlettStar86]

Thanks hun!


How rude of that man, I'm a bit like that though saying loudly what's happened.

 

[incaravanland]

Do u ever get annoyed when u hold a door for someone or let them pass and they say nothing so u say rather loudly "you're welcome!!!"
.........

I do! Hehe x

 

[ScarlettStar86]

All the time lol, manners cost nothing! That's one thing I'm hot on with the kids I look after- if they don't say please they don't get it! If they don't say thank you I take it back till they do. Can't stand rudeness for no apparent reason!

 

[incaravanland]

I'm the same. Pick up on the nieces not saying it and say "what do u say" they're pretty good normally though to be honest. Same with the students when they come in to the office. Some are great and lovely and polite. Others barely grunt at you and those are the ones who don't get what they ask for until they use their manners lol x

 

[Franalamadingdong]

Scarlet, you'd love Nate, we have been working on please and he says it so cutely now! I was teasing him not giving him a teddy and then he went "PWEEEEASE". ahh.

Thanks for the mirin taste thing. I'd best use it in the recipe!

 

[ScarlettStar86]

Nawww bless him he sounds so cute!

You're welcome, I wondered a few times if the mirin makes much difference but it def adds something. It's nice in a marinade too, my Wagamamas book uses it lots with soy sauce, ginger and garlic as a marinade. Yum!

 

[Franalamadingdong]

ooh I have a wagamama's book and I never seem to use it.

 

[ScarlettStar86]

I became a bit obsessed with it at one point, I have the noodle one and we were eating noodles 5 times a week. It's really good though and taught me a lot about proper stir frying and how to get the best results. Yum! It's making me hungry thinking about it!

 

[ScarlettStar86]

Morning! Today's green day plan

Breakfast - banana and porridge with a coffee with milk from 1/2 hexa1

[ScarlettStar86]

Think I need to start posting some outrageous gossip in here, every time I come back its on the second page of subscriptions lol

Had a lovely morning at the park, met a friend who is also a nanny, went round the animal nature more they have which is lovely, had a picnic then played in the park. Used 5syns on some Pom bear and 2on a biscuit. Lunch was 4ryvita made into sandwiches with Tom purée, 1/2hexa cheese and tomatoes. Was really nice but hungry again already! Need to go and raid the fruit I think!

 

[Franalamadingdong]

Sounds like a lovely day lots of activity too. You must subscribe to way more than I do!
