Mousse

[bleedingheck]

Hello

A quicky really....

I have seen mousse mentioned a few times here and have seen it on the proce list with my cdc, i was wondering would this count as one of your meals for the day or is it an extra?

 

[abz]

it counts as a meal. it's a powder that you blend up with your shake. then you stick the shake in the fridge and it sets like angel delight but you buy it in addition to all your shakes for the week... does that make sense?

Thanks abz!

i was hoping it was a cheeky extra.... bummer!!!

are you feeling better today?

you can try making a jelly, water, cd water flavouring and gelatine, they are nice and refreshing in this heat.

 

[bleedingheck]

That sounds nice Susan, how much gelatine do you use?

 

[susan70]

i use about a teaspoon of gelatine and half a teaspoon of water flavouring to make up about 3/4 pint water.

 

[bleedingheck]

i'm going to give that a try then, and would that be a 'free' extra?

 

[HopeSprings]

It's free but you're only allowed 1 teaspoon of water flavouring in one day. I tried freezing a chocolate tetra last night - yuk - I couldn't stomach it and had to throw half away. I've realised I don't like the flavour of the tetras and if I have to have them cos I'm out, best to get them down quick and wash down with loads of water.

i froze a tetra last night, quite enoyed that one, but think my tastebuds are completely shot now!!!

I would prefer to freeze water and sup on it all night than them yyukk

 

[abz]

i love frozen chocolate tetras. prefer them to unfrozen ones, ha. and i wasn't that keen the first time i tried them but i had a few to get through and now i love them!!

 

[bleedingheck]

They hit the spot in this weather!!

 

[bridie]

how much gelatine are you allowed per day??
xxxx

 

[HopeSprings]

I tried Susans recipe for jelly today. don't know what I did wrong but it didn't set. 6 hours later I poured it down the sink, perhaps I didn't leave it long enough or maybe needed more gelatine.

 

[susan70]

Probably not enough gelatine, I leave mine over night in the fridge, try again hun using either a little more gelatine or a bit less water, ita all trial and error with these things. hope it works next time hun.
