Scrumpers diary the revenge !!!!

[Maintainer]

Very good work at those motorway cafes... never easy when hungry, everyone else is going to have something, yet there's nothing appropriate for us.

At first I thought I was reading a snow story. How sad for the family of that person...

(how can you only eat 1/2 a yoghurt? who do you share with?)

 

[scrumper]

1/2 gos back in the fridge i find a whole one too sickly

 

[scrumper]

Shame about the lengthy car journey at the weekend and indeed - great self-discipline on your part at the motoway cafes. It's only when you start watching properly what you eat or excluding a whole food group or two that you realise how unhealthy most of the food served there really is...

Wishing you **no more snow**... except on Christmas day of course!

Scrumper can you tell me how you make your chilli please? I do mine with onions, garlic, ginger, chilli powder, tinned tomatoes and salt and pepper but what do you use for a stock? I have been using oxo but know I shouldn't.
Also, I want to do a joint of beef in the slow cooker but can't find any recipes for it, what sort of stock or juice do you cover it with?

 

[Maintainer]

Frozen roasties are a great idea! (hate them so wouldn't touch them! Note to self: add to shopping list!!).

1/2 a French yoghurt is just a mouthful. Methinks you're talking about those bucket size Muller Lites?!!

Kaye - I have the Dukan recipe book in which he uses low salt stock cubes. I don't know how easy they are to find though...

And Anja posted ref her beef cooked in the slow cooker, so here's the link:

(no liquid...)

kay if a pp day i just add water i tiny bit of tom purree and extra chilli if pv then a tom of tomatoes goes in
as for beef the one i did this week had no stock added but loads of juices at the end and i put a couple of whole onions in with it

Yep jo its the muller lights, cant do a whole one .....as for the roasties its an emergancy measure but i doubt they will be needed , like you i cant stand them so it would be one less thing to eat carb wise !!!!

 

[scrumper]

But when cooking in the slow cooker your meat has to be completely covered with liquid doesn't it???

 

[scrumper]

What a lovely compliment Tan - you must be feeling on cloud nine!

My Daughter finished college yesterday but she is 16 and stays in bed unless prodded, which is good when I am trying to work. My Son finishes at lunchtime but comes home on the bus. No sign of snow here yet.

Wales again for Christmas so I will give you another wave!

How wonderful! Those comments are the best! Try to "bottle it" to bring out, and remind yourself how chuffed you felt, when something tempts you next week <note to self: do same!!>

 

[Emmma]

That's a lovely compliment - what an ego boost, and they're so important aren't they?

Hope you start feeling better soon

 

[scrumper]

thanks ladies lol .....yep its a nice feeling and makes me remember why im on this diet ...
mouse .can you get to Wales in the snow ?
my lad would stay in bed playing computer allday if i let him !
The girls though fight constantly they are 5 and 7 and im dreading when they are teenagers.....
I am planning on a few lazy days before xmas though

 

[m-mouse]

I hope we can get to Wales! My two fight but they seem to do it more when I am around - I suspect they like an audience!

Now I have been looking through that book - what do you fancy, lemon and blueberry muffins, lemon drizzle cake or beetroot brownies?

 

[scrumper]
