Slaj's diary

[moonlights]

There's very little I'll buy from them - most of the stuff has wheat or polyols in and strikes me as a slippery slope. But the davinci syrups and ketchup have none of that and they are almost always out.

Hello all
Cheese and mushroom omelette for breakfast
Broccoli and Stilton soup for lunch
Tuna and salad with avocado for tea

Snacked on different cheeses today, think I've eaten too much cheese and not enough veg, just couldn't be bothered to cook anything this evening, work very stressful at the moment, pay cuts and redundancies so morale very low at the moment

Oh crikey sorry to hear about work Sandra, hope it all goes ok for you, hun! xxx

 

[slaj]

Thanks Susie, the full restructure at work won't be finished until next year, I work for the local authority and the council needs to save hundreds of thousands!

 

[moonlights]

God the working world is a grim place to be right now isn't it. I hope all goes well for you Sandra. Your meals today look great to me.

Hi Sandra

Food is looking lovely. I like the sound of your spicy prawn stir fry - yum!

Sorry to hear about the uncertainty at work - I know a lot of people being affected by job cuts and restructuring and it's miserable.

Evening all
Not a bad day today.
B cheese and mushroom omelette
L broccoli and Stilton soup
T salmon in lemon butter with fried cabbage and red peppers
Fancy something sweet which is unusual so going to have a creamy coffee with splash of davinci English toffee syrup

 

[ladyfelsham]

Sounds like a 5 star menu to me

I had salmon tonight and thought of you as know you like it!
i mixed a spoonful (approx a tablespoon) of cream cheese, a spoonful of horseradish and a spoonful of mayo together. Spread mixture on top of salmon and baked in the oven for 20 mins and it was lovely!

Hope all ok with you. I find the creamy coffee with davinci quashes my sweet cravings too.

Just had soya protein shake for breakfast
Daughter off to Wales with school until Monday, goodness knows why she needs such a huge suitcase and a rucksack, I had to remove the dressing table mirror that she tried to pack! To be fourteen again !! ?

 

[shrinki]

I hope your daughter has a nice time in Wales.
Just about to have a protein shake too... Not in the slightest bit hungry and was going to skip breakfast which is not a good idea I know! So thanks for the inspiration!

Hi all , lovely sunny crisp day here.
Had wonderful time at the wedding, ate, drank and danced until the early hours. Trying be good and get back on track now. Happy Sunday all

 

[shrinki]

So glad you had great fun at the wedding.

Do you find if you have an off-plan meal you pile on about 3-6 pounds (I do!). It takes me a while to shift it too...

I made courgette soup today and it was lovely. I stirred in a dollop of Philly and it made it lovely and creamy. It's definitely the time of year for soups!
