Hey all

Am just trying to think of Atkins-friendly food I can prepare to take with me on the coach next Saturday, we'll be travelling for two days without access to a microwave. Was thinking -

- sausages, cooked up
- salad - bacon and egg, chicken
- meat and cheese roll ups
- pork scratchings
- couple of Atkins bars

What else can I take that will last the distance? And has anyone used a cool bag like this?

a good few boiled eggs...veg pieces to dip in a finely mashed egg mayo dip, make up a rice salad using cauli rice, tuna salad, tuna mayo.

Hi sweetie - good planning and a cool bag definitely a good plan. For second day, i would plan to use cured meats like salami with cheese in your wraps etc - dont want fresh chicken and meats getting too warm and spoiling. Cured meat safer for second day. And how about some tinned stuff like tuna? Or take a look in the supermarkets and see what is sold in room temperature area so doesnt need to be chilled

Afternoon Susie, could make up some scotch eggs, mim? Take some marmite cheese x

 

[ladyfelsham]

Lots of good ideas there, thanks all - and Scotch eggs, good plan mmm - not made them before but guess I can use pork mince?

I love the m&s cooked bacon in the deli section and you could bring an avocado and tomato to go with it.

I'm so jealous.

 

[teetiefunk]

do u like sardines or mackerel? you could take the wee tins. also sugar free jelly pots.

Thx Laura but not a fan of fish in oil. Getting organised now, got the following planned -

- salami and cheese
- bacon, tomato and avocado
- quiche
- omelette
- salad
- scotch eggs

That'll do for the first hour Just kidding, should do for B&L Day 1-2, backed by Mr Porkys and Atkins bars cut into bits

[ladyfelsham]

Morning all

OMG what an horrendous night's sleep - been awake since 2.30am, dozed a bit but absolutely bunged up with hayfever - must be because it's so windy...and worrying about stuff, as per usual. Could be a three coffee day!

Really busy this morning so will catch up later - love to you all xxx

 

[slaj]

Take care Susie , hope you soon feel better x

 

[Quak]

Afternoon Susie, sorry your sleep was rubbish, hope the coffee does the trick for you xxxx

 

[ladyfelsham]

Oh it's all excitement here, had BBC R3 come in to do some recording, then we had a fire alarm (standing in the rain, niiiice), now am throwing down some food and wishing heartily that I was at home in bed

Four days to go!!!!

 

[Alpaca]

Oh Susie... I'll miss you!! Xxx

 

[coffeelover]

Wow holiday really creeping up.

Sorry you had a rubbish sleep. I did too although woke at 4:30 so a couple hours more than you.

Sleep well tonight Susie x

Morning my dear!

 

[ladyfelsham]

Morning all

Another weird night, more dreams of Mum, and a very upset tum meant a few trips to the park in the night - blame those wicked carbs

Been at the lappy working from home since 7ish this morning but managed to get everything done much quicker than I thought, so can quickly catch up here before I have to head in. The Express is warning of more Arctic snow conditions over the next month - such a jolly upbeat newspaper

Have a good day, cherubs xxx
