I can't stand broccoli but much prefer the softer texture and taste of cauliflower! I'm going to try a cauliflower mash soon methinks.
Yeah- syns are strange things It's also weird having to syn for things you don't like- for instance the salad dressing I had today at the zoo (couldn't eat that salad bare but the vinagrette was gross!)
Today we went to Paradise Park, a zoo in Hertfordshire about a 40 minute drive from us (near where my dad lives). The weather was nice and we had a great day- managed to time our day well so we got to see cheaters and red pandas during their feeding time when they were super excited! Haven't looked through the pics yet, watched in envy as my boyfriend shot away with his 70-200mm PLUS 2x extender = 400mm! He could get any of the animals' face taking up the whole shot where mine had them like ant sized in shot grr.

EE again today, am counting the several hours of walking around the zoo as my exercise since I was too wiped out to do any when I got home!
Breakfast: Did a big breakfast to keep me going! Potato and onion latke, scrambled eggs, ketchup (2 syns) and spaghetti hoops (sister wanted them!) plus an apple.
Lunch: A pretty nasty salad from the cafe at the zoo. Bacon and chicken, though most of the bacon was fat so didn't eat it >:/ had about 1/3 of the dressing from the side pot, will count that as 2 syns as have no idea how much it's worth- it was a vinagrette but quite thick.
Dinner: Had a small bowl of pasta when dropping my sister off as there was some leftovers- hex A cheddar, not much so think it will be within allowance, left some of it as it hadn't melted. Plus I think the whole batch of pasta had butter added to it, 2 syns to allow for that. When I got home I sloppily grabbed some spinach leaves, cooked chicken chunks and ham slices and ate them with salad cream (2 syns)
Snacks at the zoo: 2 x Alpen light bars (Hex B), mini milky way esque choc bar (4 syns) - so yummy, but so tiny :/! Apple, banana, a couple of quavers shared on the way home (1 syn) muller light at home.

total 13 syns!
ANOTHER day where if feels like, despite all those snacks, I haven't had a proper meal apart from breakfast and that the syns don't feel enjoyed so much :/ oh well. My sister is gone now (sniff) so tomorrow will be back to norm. Off to see Warm Bodies FINALLY tomorrow! So behind with cinema this month! Am going on Thurs with another friend too though.
