New Starters. Roll on up!!

LOL, Hi daisy :wavey:

Hey all - you're looking good (in the virtual sense). Glad it's all going well. Thanks for all the good lucks and best wishes - I'm hoping my DD has turned a corner and can start to see that life is worth living.

Heard today that a dear work colleague passed away yesterday, so it's been a bit surreal. I didn't know her long - she was only in her late 50's as fit as a fiddle, lived a good healthy life and then the Big 'C' hit. Not even 6 months later, she lost the battle :cry:

Makes you realise how precious and fragile life can be and my worries simply don't matter.

So, onwards we go - hope you all have a fantastic week

Hi abz, do you have any flaxmeal? that helps on induction, that and plenty of water.

 

[abz]

well the plenty of water i'm doing jim. i don't have flaxmeal, no. may have to invest. holland and barrets for that is it?

 

[Jim]

Yes abz, I just sprinkled a small spoonful over my evening meal.

 

[abz]

doesn't it taste horrid jim?

 

[Jim]

Not really abz, but I do like my food highly seasoned, I use a lot of herbs, garlic and chilli's in my cooking love.

 

[abz]

i will have to give it a go regardless jim. NOTHING is worth that again, ha.

[Jim]

[abz]

There is a recipe for a flaxmeal muffin... you can cook it in a mug in the microwave & it only takes a minute, brilliant for brekkie with cream cheese on it. Maybe on the stickies Buffydog came up with it,

Let me know if you've not seen it & I'll dig it out. x

I've also bought them in Somerfield and someone (madeinengland?) here said they're sold in Morrisons. And they are yummy!

Lady Marmalade, What weird food do we have? I don't find too many things in the grocery store that are low carb except stuff made from Low carb diet plans like Atkins. There used to be a store in Alberta that only sold low carb, but I guess they only have them in the big cities. I'm in a city of 9000 or so. But I only live 10 minutes from the United States border, so I shop there too sometimes and they have a better selection. I am too chicken to buy online because I dont know how it will taste or they may scam me or i'm too impatient to wait for it in the mail.
I'm off for a few days a the beach. I'm sure I won't cheat. I hate it when people say "oh what the heck, it's just one bite" Well one too many "bites" is what got us here in the first place eh? Have a great week everyone, I'll check in Thurs or fri with my first week reslults. Good night.
