Post them Erm, no one is going to judge you. We are all in awe at what you have achieved.

Well done Erm, you are very inspiring. Shows what determination can achieve and that, occasionally, a little of what you fancy does you no harm.
Just occasionally mind! X

Ah Erm, I removed my head from my pics for similar reasons and my head's potentially my better body part lol.

We wont think your pics are funny, you can and you are inspiring so many people. I understand though, this site can feel so public at times whereas I think I'm in a bubble.

I've been reading your thread for a few days now but never posted. However I can't not post when you've got your Club 30. And better yet almost lost a skinny model.

So well done.

Tuesday 20th Mar Red

Breakfast: Coffee & fruit 1 HEXA
Lunch: Hmmm. Well I was at the hospital and walked through the park on the way home so stopped off for lunch. I tried to pick the best option which was lentil soup but when it came it looked pretty creamy and came with bread, butter and a chunk of cheese I ate the soup (guessing 12 syns) and cheese 1 HEXA (ish ) but I was still hungry so had half the bread roll and half a pat of butter (it might have been wholemeal but I doubt it ). Well I was still hungry so thought 'sod it' and ate the other half thinking Id have a tweaky 2 HEXB and 3.5 syns and all would be well.

BUT!!! - then I walked past the ice cream booth and it was such a BEAUTIFUL sunny day... first day of spring! So I had a Tiramisu scoop. And a coffee scoop. I didn't eat the cone though!!! :8855: And I walked home!

How many syns are in a scoop d'ya reckon? Well obviously more than a day's worth but hey... Ooh online says total 15 syns for both! Bargain! (don't think I believe it )

Roll on WI tomorrow!!! (At this point I would say "Now now, it's OK on the odd occasion" except I've had "an odd occasion" three days running now )

Tea: Lentil, potato & kale soup - doesnt look very exciting but ommmmmmm this was DELICIOUS!!! :drool: Just... delicious, I dont use that word very often but I cant think of any other wprd to describe it! Really, really filling, really interesting flavour. The OH loved it too, deffo going on the faves list!
Snacks: a bit of pearl barley broth <1 syn for oil

it looks bladdy lovely though

You are a star Mrs. ermintrude. I read your diary daily. food porn at its best!

 

[Lottie12]

Well done that woman ! You must feel ab fab !

It must be down to your lovely grub which never seems taste and filling power compromised.

I wonder if you can help me out with this culinary Q. Saw some butternut squash ravioli(ambient section) in Tesco and wanted to replicate it somehow. ....So I thought.... fry onion garlic mushrooms,roast bns with maybe cumin seeds ? mix in some cheese (your almost syn free one) maybe a bit of parmesan. would you flavour the cheese, if so with what ? Do you think I could make ravioli squares out of lasagne sheets or would they be too thick ?Alternatively I could stuff canilonni tubes ?

Really,really fancy summat like this would appreciate your musings

Cheers Jilly

Mmm I dont think youd be able to stick the lasagne sheets together and make them stay that way while you're cooking, unless you could bake it maybe? The canneloni idea sounds better, you could stuff it with whatever you fancy, bake it and then cut it into smaller pieces? Or just leave it whole?

Im dont know if the labne cheese would work in that though? But I might be wrong, I havent tried cooking it but its basically just semi-dried yoghurt so I dont know know how well it would bake.

With flavours hmmm Id go for something along the Morroccan style maybe? So definitely garlic, some toasted cumin seeds would be good yeah, maybe a little honey? Not necessarily in the cheese though, it could just go in the rest of the filling. A few chickpeas along with your squash? Or some couscous? A little preserved lemon, or just a bit of lemon juice? Maybe a little chilli/chilli flakes to spice it up, or harissa? Syn a few raisins?

Oooh how about this, just omit/substitute/HEX the synnables and stuff it into canelloni instead of burritos! Yum yum! :drool: I think I might try that myself!
