Heating was serviced yesterday but not enough oil to turn it on... hubby wont buy any untill we are ready to move in as its in a remote area and there is a chance it may be stolen.

[ellie1969]

Stepped on the scales this morning and i look to have dropped 1/2 a pound but that may fluctuate as i should be Due my TOTM ... will really need to keep my head this week and not binge ..... will see how my weight is after 2 PP days then decided whether to do the extra one id planned after the 2 PV days of eating out and hotel food or just the
2 PP days to catch up again

[CaledoniaDreaming]

Well done on the weight loss so far and resisting temptations! Tuna quiche sounds good - recipe?

 

[ellie1969]

the tuna quiche is really easy and great for etaing while travelling in the car etc as its like a solid slice when cold

I just use a tin of tuna drained and flaked into a dish.... then beat up 3 eggs (i remove one yolk) & 6tbsp quark and ground black pepper... pour it over the tuna and stick in the oven till its cooked

 

[ellie1969]

[Lausanne]

New kitchen - exciting! I love all things housey! Think I would love to have been an interior decorator.

 

[ellie1969]

It's very exciting as I've done the plans etc myself and have the builder coming in to take out an overhang that used to be a partition wall and to open up an old larder we discovered while taking out the old kitchen and hopefully build something nice round the Rayburn as it's hideous pink fireplace bricks ATM lol I am however going to be cookerless from this weekend for a few weeks till the granites installed so will have to think carefully how I'm going to eat while here

 

[Lausanne]

Fire up the barbie, dahling! your kitchen plans sound fab - so lucky to start from scratch and put your own stamp on it.

 

[ellie1969]

Barbie ?? Ur having a laff right it's Scotland I live in.... It blows a gale everytime I'm at this house and it's freezing lol think it will be a case of the lean mean grilling machine and the microwave till I'm sorted out

 

[Lausanne]

So no madly patterned Hawaiian shorts, aloha shirt and a knotted handkerchief on your head so? And I thought ye Scots were a hardy bunch! I've been cooking a lot of casseroles in the oven lately and all so delish! Could you cook up a batch at home and then re-heat in microwave at farmhouse?
