Jan, a bit of a miserable week for you with your stuffed up cold. Hope it is better now. Here's hoping next week will be a better one for you.

Thanks Molly - I'm much better now, thanks goodness.

Saturday 13th November

Breakie - WELL! When I got to Mum's this morning I was HUNGRY! I hadn't had anything since about 4am. I had a thin crust toasted with a laughing cow light. When i got home I toasted 2 pieces of soda bread (they're not very big as some of you know) had one with hummus & 1 with laughing cow light.

Bed

Tea - DH (Bless him) did pork fillets in the oven with tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots, onions & herbs which was very nice - mopped up the sauce with the last slice of soda bread (just a tiny crust left & I don't think I'm buying any more)

Berries with ff from frais

work - chicken & cottage cheese salad with balsamic, pear. xx

Go Ahead Forest fruit Yoghurt Breaks

Slice ham, mini sausage roll x

 

[summergurl]

Pretty good day Jan
You're tea sounds delish :drool: re the soda bread - it had all gone by Thursday and I too said nope not buying anymore but the bf wanted some for the weekend - all his fault!!! Lol but it is absolutely gorge! Just wish it was big enough to make a proper sandwich with, don't you?! x

 

[kered]

Still got my eyes firmly closed when I see the talk of soda bread - I AM NOT BUYING IT......LOL

 

[Gemha]

If the soda bread is that nice, I'm not going to be trying it if I can help it

Hello Jan, your menu yesterday looked good, bit of ham and saus roll is not much of a cheat so well done.

Ok ok this soda bread...whats the deal? Is it white/healthier than white, health food at all???

 

[irish molly]

Not very diet friendly but really lovely
Here you go, my good old fashioned Irish Soda Bread
450g White Self raising flour
1tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/4 tsp salt
Sift all the above together three times to get plenty of air into the flour.
Add about 350mls buttermilk. Add a little more if it is too stiff. Mixture should be like a stiff cake mixture but not too dry.
Turn into a 2lb loaf tin
Bake in a preheated oven at 200C for 45-50 mins.

As a variation add a couple of ounces of sultanas and an ounce of sugar.

I'm drooling as I write!!!!
