    Instant mash - syn value?

    I have to agree Flabulous, but I thought I would also give Tesco's value mash a chance the other day and I was very impressed. I did have to season it and add some all seasoning but it was really good. For plain mash I would use Sainsburys though.

    Wheat free HEb choices

    The one that comes to mind that I love using is ScanBran (loads of recipes and ideas on the forum). If you don't go to classes, you can get them from Holland and Barratt. They are 1 syn each, although they used to be 1/2 syn for exactly the same contents?! Strange.

    Yes it does, but 198g of Rhubarb stewed is only 1/2 syn and I normally have about 120g, so is just count as 1/2 syn just in case.

    Free Tinned Macaroni Cheese

    I bought some Princes Lean CB in Tesco's the other day. They have 50% extra free on them at the moment too. It was very nice as a hash made with left over veggies. I agree, it is worth the syns.

    Slow cooker pork question

    I love cooking pork in the slow cooker, make it so tender. I even do it for steaks/chops. If it was me, I would add the sauce after as you do get a lot of water out of pork and the sauce would dilute too much.

    Quaker Oats so simple sweet cinnamon?

    I have the OSS porridge and my group leader said to count the 6 syns as a Hb and add on the rest. So the cinnamon one would be a Hb, but the Golden Syrup or my fav Raisin, Saltana, Apple and Cranberry would be 1/2 syn extra.

    Water

    I was looking into this over the weekend and although I drink more than my 2ltrs a day, one website said that I needed to be drinking half my body weight in ounces. I worked that out to be just over 8 pints. Between that and scan bran, the toilet has been the 2nd most visited room in my house!

    KFC Chicken done the SW way

    I was thinking more about this last night. I wonder if you could let the raw chicken marinate in the paste during the day, then just roll it in breadcrumbs when you got in from work and cook? I still think they could be frozen in batches too.

    Green Day dinner ideas please

    I like egg fried rice on a Green/EE day. Whisk 2 eggs per portion and fry off in frylight, chop some spring onions and add them to the egg, add in the rice and fry off a little then add some soy sauce. Simple, but yummy and filling. What about a stirfry too?

    Contacting your C outside of class?

    Nothing wrong with contacting your C. If they don't know your struggling, then they can't help you. As for a reason for your gain, extra excercise can have this effect, making you retain water. You will probably lose that and some more this week.

    Red Day Chicken Cake (with cheese, sausagemeat and bacon)

    Ohh I have to try this. I normally get the Morrisons suasages instead of Joes due to the bulk ordering etc, but a word of warning, the Morrisons ones are now syned at 1/2 syn each. Still worth 4 syns for the whole thing! I think some herby roasted potatoes and veg would go down really nice :)
