I don't know because I -eat- a whole pumpkin this week... maybe it was a magic one? :8855:
Bit embarrasing really 'cause I've been quite bad today - 'flexible' ain't the word for it
I was okay earlier on in the day though and made a really nice lunch with marinated tofu and green tea noodles. Will post a pic tomorrow as I'm on the OH's comp tonight while he's pinched the tv. Getting it back later to watch The Crow - no point going for an early night tonight as reckon the fireworks will be going into the wee hours.
Mn right the lasagna - I've gone and sort of planned an EE/Red day for tom'ow now as me and the OH fancy a roast dinner. Sooo since I've not had chance to sort out my proper recipe yet I thought I could post the link to the original recipe that I adapted: More Pumpkin Lasagna Please! « FoodMayhem
The amounts of cheese is mental in the original - I just used two hexbs of ricotta (think that's 170g) and two hexas/hexbs of grated mozzarella (84g) - I mixed one half of the mozzarella in with the ricotta and the other half on top of the lasagna. As said though this left the pasta a bit poorly covered so I'm going to try adding a tub of quark to the ricotta mixture to stretch it out and maybe season it with salt and pepper incase the quark is a bit sharp-tasting.
I only had about 1.5 cups of pumpkin and I'd definitely say around 2.5-3 cups would work better so the lasagna is nice and thick. For the pumpkin stage I browned my garlic in 2tsps of light olive spread and think I used 1 tbsp of light brown sugar and 1/2 a tbsp of maple syrup - these might need upping when using more pumpkin, probably best to try the smaller quantity first then do a taste test. Think I used half the quantity of spices too, will probably use the full recipe's amounts next time.
Anywho I'll write up a proper recipe for it when I make it again (on monday I should think) and resyn/hex/portion it. Just if the folks with pumpkins waiting to be used (and/or shouting Lasagna at them!) wanted to get cracking I'm sure it will be easy to adapt to your own requirements. It is absolutely lovely

I'm surprised you're not orange/pumpkin coloured Lo
Well I'm shaped like one round the middle :8855:
My plantar faciitis seems to have lessened in severity since I did absolutely nothing over half term with being off work and having a cold
But I've only really had to do three days walking last week as it was teacher training monday and had to get a bus from work on friday. Appointment's a week on tuesday now so I guess we'll see what happens with that Also feeling a bit topsy turvy - another * week arrived yesterday only 5 days after the last one My body's in shock I think lol Thanks for asking xxxxxthanks for that recipe hun - defo going to try it
No probs Rach - it was a bit of a cobbled together affair as I'd just found green tea soba noodles in my co-op grocery and really wanted to try them out
I boiled about 50 grams of noodles until just cooked, drained them then dunked them in a bowl of cold water (stops them carrying on cooking apparently). Drained them again then put them in a bowl, drizzled 1/2 tsp sesame oil (1 syn) then mixed this up - set those aside.
In a frying pan/wok I heated another 1/2 tsp of sesame oil (1 syn) then added 100g marinated tofu cubes (these may of had a couple of syns I'm not sure). Stir-fried these for 2 mins then added 2 cloves chopped garlic (m'crusher was in the washing up pile and couldn't be bothered
) & 1/2 a small red pepper cut up into batons - stir fried for another minute then added some chopped mushrooms and stir fried again another 1-2 mins until mushrooms were golden but not floppy. Then I added 1 tbps oyster sauce (1 syn) and 1/2 tbsp soy sauce and stirred until everything was coated, then I added the noodles back to the pan and stirred everything up until the noodles were heated through. Served up on a plate topped with chopped spring onion Pic:

thanks for that! im glad im not the only person who hates washing the crusher.. i avoid using mine cause i always need to use it 3 or 4 times in a row and its a bloody buggar to wash

You always have to wash everything else up first otherwise it leaves the water stinking of garlic - and there's normally a mountain of washing up to do before you get round to the flippin' crusher lol

I wouldn't worry to much re: the * week's being affected by the weight-loss
it is a known fact I even had them stop during my 20's for a few months due to excessive
dieting alas they returned the minute my weight shot back up again haha!!
What were the Soba noodles like Lo
they certainly look nice
have a lovely Sunday xx

Thanks for that Kally. Mine have been messed up since m'son/taking contraception and I know they do go a bit haywire when I'm losing/gaining a lot of weight - just wears me out when it surprises me in quick succession heh.
The soba noodles have a quite delicate flavour, sesame oil compliments them really well
It's quite a popular dish in japan to eat them cold with various dipping sauces and condiments... not really the time of year for it now though!i knoww! and i second kally on those noodles, they look lush.. although i was gutted when you said tofu was premarinated as i was hoping for some tofu ideas haha

Mn I had a browse about online and you could try this tofu marinating recipe to use with noodles:
One 16-oz block of firm tofu
about 1/2 a cup of soy sauce
1/4 cup rice wine (or sherry)
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 tbsp fresh ginger, grated or crushed
1 tsp brown sugar
Directions: Cut the tofu into 1/2 inch cubes or rectangles. Marinate the tofu in soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, ginger and sugar and allow the tofu to soak at least 20-30 minutes.
Hope this helps hun xxxx
Tea looks yummy. Actually it looks a bit too normal. Even I can understand what it is. Are you feeling ok
It was technically a day off plan so I guess I wasn't trying very hard

I think I should be fine for the rest of it - though got no little bread in so big toast has eaten up my syns today aswell as yesterday
That's two days in a row that I've understood your food.
I must try and fit egg and chips in this week
Hows things today?
It was all relatively simples today too lol
Today was alright if busy, anxious about work and minute-taking tomorrow though. Don't know what I'm doing and my manager has a really boring monotone of a voice... I normally space out during meetings, can't get away with that tomorrow :sigh:
