Extra Easy Voodoo's food diary and ramblings!

Mmmmm. I used to get those salad boxes from time to time when I worked near a Morrisons. Those bacon bit things are 4 syns for a tbsp and looks like you had nowhere near that amount so i think your estimate definitely covers any oil in the rice or couscous!

@HondaGirl, thanks! That's good to know, it looks like loads of couscous and rice but it was only the very top layer. Never had Morrisons salad before but I will again.

 

[SarahMP]

I like Morrisons salad bar and also Sainsburys. It's so hard not to be tempted by some of the bits they have. Potato salad etc. Difficult to syn too.

You did well! Have a great day!

 

[X88B88]

Was very difficult, Sarah, as I love potato salad!

Thank you! I'm chuffed, but I know I can't keep up that pace, would be nice though eh!

 

[X88B88]

I'm not sure what scan bran is but I'm going to look into it as you get 5 of them lol!!

It's... a little like chewing cardboard. Cardboard that's gone off...

But yeah, you can get them from health food shops, I know Holland and Barrett sell them.

 

[SarahMP]

Why do you eat it if you don't like it? Lol

 

[X88B88]

Ha! I don't mind them, I was just trying to accurately describe it! I keep scan bran for when I've run out of bread

Ooh, pastrami for breakfast! Must try that. Sounds good! Love the iced gems, too.

 

[X88B88]

@kazbang, it's gorgeous! Especially on top of the cheese triangles! As I mentioned earlier, I thought it might be a bit odd, (me not being the continental sort) but I figured people have bacon in the mornings, so...

 

[SarahMP]

Do you like the pasta n sauce? I bought a pack this week but not tried it yet. I'm scared it could taste powdery. I'm waiting for a day I have nothing in, emergency food. Was going to add chicken and veg to it and serve between two.

I love a good continental breakfast.

 

[X88B88]

@SarahMP I adore the pasta n sauces! Used to eat them quite a bit pre diet too. Actually I'm going to experiment today and have one of those in a food flask that I will pour boiling water on this morning, hopefully it will be edible by lunchtime. As a back up though, I'm going to take mugshots. I really hope it works because as I said I do adore them!
