Fray's Food Diary - Scale ban

Helps me see in the dark, too!

Jen...my sauce never turns out exactly the same more than once! I do it with quorn mainly so I brown off my quorn fillets in a pan for about 1-2 mins and then pour in a tin of chopped tomatoes, 1/2 pint of stock, throw in whole button mushrooms, 1 or 2 (depending on how much I make) of those frozen spinach blocks from asda, some onion and any other veg I fancy, as much curry powder to your taste...I use medium, a sprinkling of black pepper, a sprinkling of ground cumin, a little bit of garlic, bit of dried or fresh corriander, sometimes a dash of lea and perrins and let it all simmer and boil down for the remaining 20 mins it takes the quorn to cook. Stir it occassionally. It thickens up on its own really nicely.

This sauce started as just chopped tomatoes and curry powder! Now I add all this in it really does taste like a brilliant curry! You just throw it all in frozen/fresh mixed up and it simmers down. No work at all!

Thanks Fray - I'll give that a go!
 
Oh, fudge!! I had two HexB's by accident. Am so used to being on a red or green and not EE so forgot I only get one. Means I have to syn it and I'm supposed to be saving my syns for tomorrow night!
 
That happens to me too if I throw in an EE day - I love having 2 HEXB's on red/green!
 
Thing is, I still remembered to have 1/3 superfree on EE!

Poorly tummy today...something I ate? Too much salad recently? I dunno. I hope it clears by tonight! Anyone know what I can eat? I'm doing a green day so figure wholegrain rice tonight for tea.
 
Scrambled egg on toast x Hope your feeling better soon Fray
 
I am out of eggs! But I have toast! I had a banana and a yoghurt for breakfast so I'll have toast for lunch. Thanks Jen!

Well, yesterday was supposed to be my flexi-syn day as I was at a showing of Twilight at midnight. My OH measured out exactly 15 syns of Milkybar buttons from a big pack (turned out to be half the packet or just under) before we went and put them in a food bag inside the original bag. He ate the other half at the cinema by the way. I also took along two alpen bars as I'd saved my HexB and a flake so I'd eat about 20-30 syns as well as picking at whatever else was on offer.

However, I didn't eat all my buttons. Weighed what was left when we got home and there were still about 6 syns worth in the bag! Unheard of! I ate one of my alpen lights on the way home as I was hungry. I didn't touch the flake and didn't pick at anything that was offered to me. I guess it's better in the long run but I've been miserable all week saving these syns and fretting about it being saved syns!
 
Well done Fray!! How was the film btw?
 
The film wasn't great which is a shame. VERY rushed. I think it'd be a great watch if you haven't read the book.
