    Pros & Cons Ebook Reader

    I have my Kindle since last September and love it because we have been traveling since December and I have not had to carry any books with me plus I have had a daily paper delivered to it for 30p per day. But when I get back home I will be back to reading "real" books as I get them from the...

    SYN FREE BBQ SAUCE

    Anybody tried this as a salad dressing? I hate "dry" salad and as the onions are cooked will blend this and give it a try when I am at home. Don't eat meat (or quorn) so can't try the recipes but it does seem tasty. Thanks for the recipe

    Porridge with ryvita??

    I just came to ask the same kind of question. I can't buy scan bran here in Spain - is there an alternative like some other kind of bran? I like to eat porridge every day and don't want to sabotage the diet by eating the wrong breakfast.

    giving up the drink

    A few years ago I weighed 15 and a half stone and got down to 10 and stayed there for a couple of years. Then we moved home in Spain and live on a complex and when we see a neighbour (not during the daytime I might add - we are not that bad) the conversation goes something like this. "Glass of...

    Tefal Actifry

    Google Actifry cookbook and see what else you can cook in it - loads of things like chicken, chilli, sweet and sour chicken etc. I have cooked lots of things in mine over the time I have had it which is over a year and although I did not buy it from Ideal World I always watch it when the Actifry...

    Aubergines?????

    There is no need to salt and soak aubergines - I use them a lot and stopped doing this a long time ago. Read somewhere that due to better growing conditions they are not bitter these days.

    World of Flavours and Curry Feast are the 2 I use most but also have Food Optimising and others and have just bought Free Foods. "I must keep off Amazon" should be my tag :o

    Am I being over suspicious ??

    I think it must be that S.W. have not moved into other parts of Europe not that it is illegal. Maybe the language barrier - they would have to change everything into the language of the country then check out all the food stuffs - the job would be enormous and maybe not viable.

    Am I being over suspicious ??

    This is the one I was talking about - found it on the net. She has classes in Benalmadena, Fuengirola and Alhaurín el grande. The name of the club is W8 matters. It's very much the same programme as slimming worlds but as they're not franchised here she's not allowed to call it that. She...

    Am I being over suspicious ??

    I am not going to swear to this as I am not in Spain at the moment to clarify it but I am almost sure my neighbour is doing SW as she has borrowed my Optimising and World Curry books whilst I am away and she goes to a class every week. Needs more checking out but will let you know next month.

    actifry does anyone have one?

    We have had an Actifry for over a year and would not be without it. If you like peppers - when you have sorted out the cooking time for your chips - mine is 30 mins - ten minutes before time add a chopped up pepper - adds flavour to the chips.
