ah just looked at the recipe on SW site for sticky chicken...nothing like the recipe for sticky gammon, the gammon is delicous and equally delicious cold or re-warmed...have to re-warm a lot of meals for my future son in law as he works erratic hours and I have specific meal times lol
Have just finished making all my daughters invites, they are so lovely...I will scan one once they are completely dried and put the post up soon xx

Got DS1 and GF here today.... arguing. Pete sake, if they want to row take it down the bottom of garden. Bought a love seat just for that purpose.
I'm cooking the Sticky Chicken, much recommended, today.
Taking the tip about less vinegar on board.
Sorry I know I shouldn't laugh but it's really funny you bought a love seat for fights!!

I think its the realistic noise of the tennis court that I love. Always found it relaxing.
However, back a bit sore inbetween the shoulder blades.
Once I realised I could do aces I was belting them out and overdone it.
The plan is to take it gently over the weekend because next week I'm trying new tricks.
I'm having a go at wii boxing.

Hey hun,
Oh do be careful with the soreness in the shoulder blades, I had that and ignored it and it took ages to clear up in the end.
The boxing is such fun and after just 10 mins I am sweating buckets, can only do half hour at a time right now, but it's a good laugh and really get's my wobble going lol
All on my lonesome now and bored, didn't plan any menu today so just winging it...just shared (well an hour ago now) a plate of Chicken Bovril Roasties and Salad with my daughter and her friend, didn't go far between 3 of us, but was absolutely divine :character00100:...I want more lol but can't...going to definitely do them with sunday's dinner, DD2 is always boasting how her roasties are crispier than mine...we'll see sweetie lol xx

Now then Lily... You know what my next question is going to be. Chicken Bovril potatoes????
I'm new to bovril. Never had it. Is it cubed or powder and do you just sprinkle over?
Trying to think what I fancy for food today and nothing is hitting me between the eyes. Normally I wake up with a clear idea of what I can't live without. Nothing today.
Going to take my time and hunt round the website and SW mags for inspiration. Would help if I knew what I had in.

Morning Ladies, Bovril Roast Potatoes, yum yum yum next is marmite ones lol
Hope you're all having a fantastic day and the sun is shining...aahh just realised that's why I was so sluggish yesterday, was pouring down all day xx
Par boil some potatoes, DO NOT add any salt as Bovril is very salty.
Let them cool a bit and add to a hot pan sprayed with fry light. Spread the Bovril (chicken is best) as thinly as possible (I used a silicon pastry brush to spread it), evenly over the potatoes and then spray again with fry light. Leave in the oven until they are crisp and golden.
It’s best to use bigger potatoes.
You can use Marmite too, just dilute it in a tiny bit of hot water first.
Roast as normal.

I likes the sound of those tatties, I likes them very much.:gimi:
Well I'm having a weird day. Totally disorganized. Can't be mythered, kind of day.
But for Tilly I will try and put up some kind of food today... not keen tho. You should see what I've had.
It hit me last night that I was only halfway through my syns for the week. Great stuff, I thought. No point having maximum syns if don't need them. Hmmm.
This morning I've got 54.5 syns burning a hole in my pocket and I want to 'spend' them. :drool:
Upshot is, big brekkies of scrambled eggs and smoked salmon followed by a break neck speed drive over to KFC for my beloved Malteser Krushem. (19.5 syns)
Ohhh but they were definitely syns well spent.
I have no regrets. I am shameless and it did fit in with my syns for the week so I'm still on plan.
So food today is: RED
scrambled eggs
smoked salmon
grilled mush/tomatoes
slice whm toast ~ HXB
crumble yogurt ~ 0.5 syns
KFC malteser Krushem ~ 19.5 syns
Ham salad
cue/lett/beet/onion/tom
grated carrots/balsamic
[STRIKE]
iced coffee ~ 2x HXA
1 tsp sugar ~ 1 syn
[/STRIKE]
melon
nectarine
banana
= 1x HXB + 20 syns
70.5/105 syns
I'd planned soup and a ploughmans and all sorts yesterday for today but today is a bit-ser day. A picking day. You know what I mean. Lethal these kind of days if you're not careful.
DH poorly with bad cold so not doing much today.
Can hardly think to type for his snoring. Hate when he's got a blocked nose. Sounds like a warthog.
Oh well, may have a little sleep of my own as really tired and trying to avoid housework.
Quick surf and then nap for me.
edited as didn't get my iced coffee. DH didn't make me one. Hate it when he gets colds and slacks off.

Exactly the day I had yesterday, all I seemed to want to do was pick and especially at the Bovril roasties, had them twice lol and yoghurt must have had ...no in fact not must have....did have, 6 yesterday, so glad they are only 0.5 syns each, and then picked on fruit all day, no naughties (that I remember, don't really have naughties in the house other than hubbies chocs and I daren't touch them if I want all my fingers to stay intact lol) but lots of little picks.
Feel a lot more like myself today, hope you have a great day and what exactly is a Malteser Krushem, not heard of them before, but then as I don't actually go out that much that's not that surprising lol xx
