I still feel rough, having an early night tonight to catch up on my sleep that I missed last night. Have only been able to stomach two slices of toast today. Hope I feel better tomorrow.

Good evening everybody! Well done to all your losses.

Am so glad it's Friday, had a busy and full week, can't wait for some quiet time and lots of sleep. Had my 4th and last course of Springboard today. Does maybe anybody do (or did) this too? It's a Women's Development Forum which my Employer offered and I was lucky to catch a vacancy. It's quite hard because it's a lot of soul-searching, your strength and weeknesses, being assertive and just trying to be positive, trust the others enough to open up. But I really enjoyed it and the other girls were brilliant, really good fun. So if anyone of you get's a chance, I can only recommend it! Sorry guys, this is for women only but as far as I know there is an equivalent for you too, don't know the name tho.

[Surzy]

I've just made a massive batch of Super Free sauce to freeze and it's now bubbling away nicely in my slow cooker!!
I remember making it years ago when i did SW last and it's great on most things from a pasta sauce, a base for a chilli or lasagne, add stock to it to make a soup, use it as a sauce for over chicken and many other things
Looking forward to having it with pasta tonight

 

[nikki299]

That sounds good, what did u put in your sauce? I have a slow cooker but hardly use it.

 

[Surzy]

I use a food processor to prep it all - it's just easier ...

3 large carrots
Head of celery
Large onion
4 cloves of garlic (I like garlic!)
Good handful of fresh basil
2 peppers - any colour
2 tins of chopped tomatoes
1 jar of passata
salt and pepper to taste
I add some chilli flakes too to give it a kick!

Blitz all of the peeled veg/garlic/basil in the food processor or grate finely so its an orangy coloured mush!
Add to the slow cooker.
Stir in 2 tins of tomatoes and the jar of passata
Add salt and pepper (and chilli ;-) )

Cook on high for 2 hours.
Then leave on low for as long as you can! I usually leave it all day.

It's a lovely rustic sauce - still slightly chunky with a bit of bite that is very adaptable.

Freeze in portions to use when necessary!

EPIC FAIL

Well with 3 birthdays in 1 calendar week it was bound to happen at some point. Took our daughter to the World Buffet in Liverpool. Started out healthy with plates of salad stuff and keeping it as sensible as I could.

Walking back to the table everything was coated in some kind of sauce, and they are all packed that way before cooking so couldnt even get a piece of chicken cooked without the sauce on it.

Tried to keep away from the absolute worst stuff like deep fried, and the fried rice, the pastry based stuff and the pizza.

Had lots of steamed rice and lots of lettuce, but there was some chinese and indian dishes that were obviously made with cream. Had some chilli con carne as well but no idea what it was made with.

The only fruit for dessert was slices of melon which I cant stand, so I stuck to some little portions of jelly. The cakes looked so inviting and I so wanted to try them, but i was already conscious about what I had eaten.

Drinks wise it was just overpriced bottled water.

Dreading Tuesday now.

Don't be too hard on urself!! Uve had a fairly hard week in fairness and uve still managed to do it best!!! We're all goin to have times like that!! Theres no way I could have been as disciplined as u wit three birthdays in the house!!! Nitemare!!!

[Cazdaspaz]

[Surzy]

Bad day today - let down by friends so had an entire day alone.
I've prepared meals for the freezer to give me something to do - now the freezer is completely full!!
I'm SO BORED!! All I can think of is food and fags (I also gave up smoking a few weeks ago too :-S )

Any ideas for things to keep me occupied that isn't food related??

 

[BigBlackBird]

I need a hobby what was you supposed to be up to today?

I spent the day making a beef stew and just tidied and went shopping.
