Thread: Here goes....time to get my groove back!

Thanks Fran. Did you see that I posted a picture of the mushroom loaf for you? Hope you've had a good day too

I did thank you darling. I think I will have a go at it when my parents are away again (13th -22nd december). I tend to do my experiments when they are away.

Lol I like the "experiments" bit - I remember once doing a massive pan of broth, I decided for quickness Id throw it in the pressure cooker, it was full to the brim, nowhere for the liquid to go really. Sitting in the living room I heard an almighty noise, the lid was on the floor and the broth was on the ceiling lol I had carrots and leeks dripping all over - the best of it was I had only just had my kitchen fitted and decorated the week before. Hubby wasnt a happy bunny lol

haha this made me laugh out loud...

i once set a baguette on fire in the microwave at 3 in the morning at uni and set fire alarm off and all the students had to get up.... considering i was 2stone heavier than i am now.... they were def judging me ... can laugh about it now

Haha, Texty that made me laugh out loud! It's mostly so I can try it and if it is no good there's no big worry not because I will explode cookware

Haha my god there was such a mess - I think ive learnt my lesson tho lol

Hehe babytreetrunk and texty f. Both of those stories made me LOL. I too have had my fair share of kitchen nightmares. Mine are normally based around my forgetfulness and I end up setting off the smoke alarm when I've forgot I put something on to cook!! The amount of pots n pans I've had to throw out is shameful!! Lol.

Lol i laugh about it now but wasnt funny at the time - I dont think OH spoke to me for a week lol all the money he had just forked out for new kitchen

No, I can imagine he wouldn't have been best pleased! My hubby would probably still not be talking to me now!!!

Oooh, it's been snowing here since lastnight so there's quite a covering on the ground. As much as I find snow a pain for driving etc, it's so pretty to look at and my boys were sooo excited to see it. Big bear asked if that meant it was Christmas now!! Bless him

sounds like you could be totting up some body magic playing in all that snow! bless your little boy, that's so cute.

Hehe Fran, well it ended up raining all afternoon so we ended up having a sofa day with some dvds instead, so no body magic but equally as enjoyable

Had a good day foodwise, will be back on later to report on it. Plus, i'm working tomorrow so need to get the mammoth amount of food ready for my 12 hour shift!! How's your day been? xx

Ooh nice. I wish my boy would sit down for a film!

Glad you had a good day. Mine's been fine. Good luck getting all your food ready!

Ended up having a nice wee day in the house with my boys. Big bear was desperate to go out and build a snowman but the rain put paid to that! We watched a few DVDs instead and I had a lovely wee doze on the couch while they were engrossed in Arthur Christmas. Lovely!

Now onto today's food. I'm really pleased with my efforts this week as I've managed to stay 100% on plan all week so fingers crossed for a good result on the scales on Wednesday. Anyway, here's what I munched on today:

Breakfast

Lunch
Homemade lentil soup, muller light yogurt

Dinner
Small bowl minestrone soup
2 quorn BBQ fillets, with syn free BBQ sauce, topped with cheese (2 x HEA) served with potato wedges. Oh it was very very yummy and tasted very naughty!!

Snacks

Thats me done for the day. I've got all my food prepared for work tomorrow and I'm having a wee early night. These early starts sure do catch up with you.
