WHAT DID WE HAVE FOR TEA?

[Stanley]

Are they the ones with the jet black soil on them Moh? Haven't seen any for years. I lived on stew and spuds yesterday and there's enough for today. Pudding was a banana and an apple. I think I'm getting more and more minimal in my cooking as I get older.

[Wendyf]

The pie crust made with pizza dough was interesting Eileen, not as satisfying as real pastry, but better than nothing!
Chilli with rice, lots of salad & tacos last night.

[Moh]

Yes they are in very dark soil. Roast chicken, new potatoes & roast vegetables tonight.

[EileenDavid]

Moh everyone wondering were you were! Turkey steak for tea with mushrooms and tomato. Followed by strawberries. I have had the chilli the hairy dieters did in a pub in a crispy basket and loads of salad, and cheese and sour cream was very nice and low in calorie. Eileen

[Stanley]

Finished the stew and spuds. Have just put a loaf in the breadmaker. I shall not starve!

[Wendyf]

Beef stew with new potatoes and roast veggies. I did a mix of cauli, courgette, carrot, beetroot and onion. Yummy.

[Stanley]

Big butty made with BOGOF pita bread from Co-op. Light tea, poached eggs on toast.

[Wendyf]

Scrambled eggs on toast for me.

[Stanley]

Got some orange label smoked salmon at the Co-op and had it between the two remaining pita breads, never had farmed salmon before, nice. That meant I wasn't hungry at teatime so had some scones with butter and blackcurrant conserve. Two pears for pudding!

[Stanley]

Sausage butty, half a Soreen loaf and fruit for pudding. Not into cooking at the moment. Butcher closed this week so more pork-based enterprises out of the freezer later in the week!

[Stanley]

Two pork chops with fat trimmed off, tomatoes, baked beans and a couple of poached eggs on top. I can see black puddings looming in today's menu!

[Stanley]

They were doing the BOGOF on naan bread again in the Co-op so i had two for dinner with sausage in them. Bit too much really so tea was a little butty and two bananas. (The ones that Bodge says are past their sell-by date because they have brown spots on the skin)

[Stanley]

Banana butty for tea.

[Stanley]

Chicken, boiled spuds, peas, tomatoes for colour and two poached eggs on top.

[EileenDavid]

Too hot to cook so we had ham salad. Eileen

[Stanley]

Smoked Haddock butty. Nice change and good for me Long Chain Omega intake!

[Stanley]

I had a cock-up with the loaf I baked yesterday. Too much olive oil I think. It came out like Pumpernickel but still edible so I put another mix in and had a heavy bread butty with smoked haddock for dinner. Very, very filling! So tea was two bananas and two pears.... (The second loaf was OK)

[EileenDavid]

Last night we had Turkey Steak with new potatoes and peas followed by home made plum pie and creme Anglais (not as good as custard) Eileen

[Stanley]

Finished the last of the heavy loaf with beans on toast. Filling stuff!

[Stanley]

Meat pie and a banana sandwich. Last of the fruit, must visit Choudry's today!

[Stanley]

Blood pudding and egg butty.... Not everyone's cup of tea but I love it!

[EileenDavid]

Last night we had stew and dumplings followed by apple crumble and custard as we were invited to a friends mobile home for dinner/tea it was delicious. Eileen

[Marilyn]

You don't know how good that sounds Eileen.
Just had a bowl of Soup for the tenth night in a row ( and to be honest, I am sick of Soup!)
Came back from our holiday two weeks ago and had both put on weight ( groan). The Soup diet really works for hubby, who has lost 3.5 kilos in 10 days. I have not lost anything! It is so unfair.
He wants to keep going indefinitely with the Soup, but I am getting to the stage where I need to CHEW.

[Tizer]

Maz, put the soup through a strainer then you eat the solid bits and give him the liquid. Alternatively, buy him a stack of soup packets/cans then phone your friends and arrange to go with them for a meal every other night!

[Marilyn]

Good idea, Tiz.
The soups are all home-made and chock full of Veg. I vary them as much as I can for interest sake, including adding Curry Powder to one lot during the week just to take the boredom off it ( for me).
I wouldn't mind if I was getting the results his lordship is, but I find it terribly difficult to lose weight.
I must admit I have not been hungry...just 'wanting'. In my case it is the need to have a good chew on something ( we haven't even been having bread with the soup).

By the way Tiz....I have read of your recent troubles and am sending a cyber-hug. Seems both you and Mrs Tiz have a lot on your plates just now.
