Susie the pate is so easy and yum, sorry vague on amounts but it doesn't matter, you can hoik anything into pate and it ALWAYS comes out yummy!
400g chicken livers
slice or two of streaky bacon if you fancy - makes pate firmer but adds flavour
tiny sprinkle of onions - v approx level dessertspoon, I use frozen ones - can leave these out too
big squeeze of garlic paste - about 1/4 of a tube
mixed herbs - about level teaspoon
good slop of oil to fry - maybe 3 tabespoons
good slop of cream to blend - maybe 4 tablespoons
capful of whiskey (or brandy)
loads of salt and black pepper
Fry livers, onion, bacon, herbs and garlic in oil until done - 15 mins approx. Chuck in blender with the cream and whiskey and blend the bejapers out of it.
Taste and season.
Add more cream (or water or stock or something) if hardish - remember will solidify greatly once cooled and it's too late to sort then (still perfectly edible, just not as spreadable)
Try not to eat it all in one go.

Waterworks- your day and menu, sounds like my perfect day. I love staying in and relaxing. Enjoy your night.
Relaxing in front of the fire myself with vodka martini; stirred not shaken, 2 olives.
ooooh Dietkitty, do tell on. Watching strictly myself. Love the fiery little redhead professional dancer Aliona. Kara is great. Looks to me like the ones with most confidence, do the best?

Taz! Eureka moment here! Home made coleslaw, why didn't I think of that??? I have spent many minutes sadly mooning (not literally) over the chilled salads section in Tesco instead of making it myself. D'oh!
B - Atkins bar (me likey them before a run)
L - salmon and my usual veg
D - cheeseburger pie (in the oven now and it's my first, so very excited!)
S - slice of corned beef, some pate with flaxseed crackers later, prolly half a mim for supper, thorntons diabetic chocolate turkish delight bar
W - buckets
E - 8.2m run - completely exhilarating as it was nippy this morning for the first time this autumn
A - definitely not - I've done very well for drink this weekend, and the scales are showing it!

Had to butt in and say that Thorntons also do a wee selection bag of no added sugar diabetic choccies (like proper chocolates if you know what I mean), choc truffles, turkish delight, a hard caramel one - very yummy and mainly polyols so under 1g per choc (according to my calcs, please don't tell me I'm wrong!).
Anyway lovely for a treat 1 a night or 2 maybe
