so glad you bought new scales

if you have any tagine recipes I'm interested as bought a tagine and only used it twice. I really fancy trying cous cous but wouldn't know what to have with it but a chicken dish sounds a fab idea

I love the lentil and bacon soup might make some monday as loved it last time I made it.

Hope you sleep better tonight sweetie xxxxxx

I love Lakeland (surprise surprise twin), and I have seen the purple one you're talking about, got their new catalogue a few days ago but not had time to actually sit and look at it, I often buy some of their novelties as little tree presents for Christmas xxx

My first instinct is to say yes, you are a fruitloop! :8855:

But common sense tells me you're very brave and I'm a big scaredy cat when it comes to the idea of stepping inside a gym lol

very busy day today
i was up and had walked the dog by 10.15. I have discovered if i get up get dressed and take the dog straight out i don't stress about it
walked the long way round today and still finished in the same time so ,must have done it faster

been to visit the olds this afternoon, my aunt doesn't look to well and is a bit batty today so i have asked the home if she can see the Dr tomorrow, looks to me as if she has a uti always sends the elderly batty

funny meals really as have been bodding about but have been experimenting.

i have made a cous cous stuffing to go with the roast chicken.
it tastes really nice and i think syn free haven't used more than a portion of cous cous and haven't used it as flour so i think it would be free.
What do you all think?
I put onion red pepper carrot and celery in the chopper added coriander garlic and black pepper, then i just dry fried it all to soften it up.
made the couscous up as normal using a chicken stock cube and then combined them. adding a bit more stock i am now baking it as you would packet stuffing, you could also use it to stuff the chicken ( i just don't like doing that)
looks and smells yum

any way meals today :

B 0% greek yog with honey, mango and banana (2 syns)

L ham, 2 babybel lights, fresh fruit salad.
(hex a)

T roast chicken, roast bns, broccli, green beans, stuffing and gravy ( 2 syns )

S none yet but still have hex b to use so not sure yet what to do with it

making a chicken broth tomorrow with left over chicken

Omnomnom the chicken sounds gorgeous and soup the next day is a great idea. Tricky for me to do as it's only me who'd eat roast chicken in my house

Spose I could chop the legs and wings off and save those for a tangine (definitely gonna get one of those dishes from the lakeland site now ), that'll just leave the main body of the chicken to use up quickly.

Hope they sort your aunty out at the home soon x

 

[Lily42uk]

Hi hunni,
Loving the sound of your stuffing, I absolutely hate sage and onion stuffing, might try the cous cous variation with some of my own favourite herbs and spices.
Yep you're right, the elderly always had uti's I worked in a home with 44 residents we always had 2 or 3 with one at all times and they really can make them act very odd, hope you're auntie recovers soon xxx

the stuffing worked really well Lily, hubby and teen ate it with no complaints even had seconds. doesn't taste anything like packet stuffing but really added to the dinner.

Have found a recipie for cous cous dumplings to try next, but have made ordinary ones today cos teen asked for them. have synned them and they work out to 4 syns each. hmmmmmmmmmmm looking forward to them xxx The cous cous ones would of been free so it will be them next time

Home rang me today to say auntie has a UTI as suspected funny how it effects them so badly isn't it
