Never seen it, Scrumps. I'm always a bit wary when companies like Stella Artois suddenly come out with a cider, but I know that you're a big cider fan too, so that makes me tempted to try it.

I normally prefer my cider to be either flat or only slightly sparkling and pretty traditional in taste - a bit like your namesake scrumpy!

Mmm lamb - I'll forgive you, Italian days sounds just as good as Mexican!

I just wish I'd listened to your initial suggestion for Mexican, Mouse. The lamb ragu was okay, but nothing special. I won't be posting the recipe for it, sadly. :cry:

I will look forward to today's menu, whatever the day - and I KNOW it's not Borng Thursday! I am getting my food kicks though your menus, imagining myself eating them

 

[scrumper]

Hopefully, not too long to go until you ARE eating something similar. (But that tastes better than that not-so-good lamb ragu!)

PV "Eggy Day" today:

B Yoghurt with oatbran, apple juice
L Ham and tomato sandwich, yoghurt
D Mixed quiche without pastry, accompanied by mixed salad. Followed by crème au chocolat

Probably TOO easily, in my case!

A friend tried that ginger ale stuff at the pub the other night and loved it. I hate ginger so declined his offer to try some. (Where's the "yuck" smiley!)

Anyway, today I'm going to try and ignore this stupid cough/asthma and try my dancing class. I've missed it so much. Just hope I don't embarrass myself with the mother of all coughing fits.

PV with gala meal 2 today:

B Yoghurt with oatbran, apple juice
L Ham and tomato sandwich, yoghurt
D (Gala 1) Onion soup, cheese and garlic pizza, followed by chocolate truffle torte

 

[m-mouse]

Yum pizza day! I hope that cough of yours starts to improve soon :-(

 

[dukandebut]

Thanks, Mousie. It's not too bad today, but it keeps coming back and forth. I think my husband is ready to strangle me because you can just guarantee that I'll start coughing at a vital point in a film or TV show we're watching! ;-)

Well my OH has taken my kids up North for a few days at Alton Towers - peace at last

Sounds good. As much as we love them, it can feel so luxurious to have a bit of time alone. I know that feeling well! Enjoy the tranquility.

 

[Emmma]

oooh, lovely -enjoy your peace and quiet mouse!

 

[dukandebut]

I hate it when you have those dreams which seem so real that, when you finally wake up, you're convinced for a moment that it did actually happen. Ah well, at least I didn't feel compelled to go around the house to check whether the doors were all hanging upside down this time, I suppose.


Anyway, another (hopefully more successful) PV with carb meal 2 Italian Day today:

B Yoghurt with oatbran, apple juice
L Onion soup with ham and tomato sandwich, yoghurt
D Roast red pepper beef with wholemeal pasta and Parmesan, followed by (if I remember to make them) crème au chocolat

 

[dukandebut]

Damn, I did end up forgetting to make my crèmes au chocolat. Still, my dinner was so filling that I didn't really need one last night. Must remember to make them today.

Boring Day:

B Yoghurt with muffin
L Turkey rashers with chive cottage cheese, yoghurt, muffin
D Em's frittata, muffin
S Muffin

 

[m-mouse]

Morning!

 

[dukandebut]

Top of the morning to you, Mousie!

 

[m-mouse]

- and might I just comment on how Boring Thursday your menu is today

It is, isn't it. Snoooooooozeville menu.

But...tomorrow is....BURGER DAY!!!!

 

[dukandebut]

Hurray, hurray! I can wear strapless tops again! The one I'd ordered arrived this morning and is absolutely beautiful. We'll be going to a concert to hear some friends sing soon and I plan to give it its first outing then.

Another happy thing is that today is one of my favourites, Dukan-wise. And it's not even a gala.

PV Burger Day:

B Yoghurt with apple juice
L Onion soup, sandwich with left-over frittata and gherkin, yoghurt
D Galette, burger, grilled onions, homemade ketchup, cheese and gherkin. Hopefully followed by crème au chocolat (I really must remember to make the damn things today)
