To anyone who missed it, my post made at 17:19:37 had been automatically removed to be looked at by admin... Phew! It's back and I've not been banned but thumbs up to mn for picking up random hidden words.
So I've lost a pound this week which is surprising given that my crisp habit is not yet under control. I've managed to move well away from the sweet snacks, but a certain shop, a certain brand (won't even mention it in case it tempts other people) have been my Achilles heel.
Plus there were peas gowning in the garden. New fresh, squeaky little pods, with fat sweet summery peas inside. I succumbed.
But they are never very prolific so it was a very short lived experience and I know that everyone else will dive in before I have a chance again.
The coriander is growing wild. What can I do with it? Someone on the last thread mentioned coriander chutney - recipe?
@jofish26 you asked about feeding full fat to the rest of the family.. YES. You don't need to limit their carbs if they are all in a healthy weight range but low-fat products have so many additives to gives the mouth feel of thickness and creaminess and texture. Give them full fat yogurt, cream, cheese, and adjust the quantities if needs be.
@Ifeelfat You lost more than 5 lbs, then more than 3 lbs. That is great. Just feel great about it.
Someone was asking about sweet things: Twinings do a cherry and cinnamon tea which hits the spot for me, plus I make rhubarb fool sometimes. Rhubarb - which is actually a vegetable, not a fruit - some orange zest, grated ginger. mixed with whipped double cream. Yum yum! Double cream actually tastes quite sweet...
@sauvignonismysaviour interesting what you say about pointless carbs. dh doesn't like courgettes, says they are a pointless vegetable as they taste of nothing, but I maintain that my courgetti noodles have loads more taste and colour than his egg-flour noodles!
@MarkRuffaloCrumble - loved your post about your height was never going to change. It's one of the things that I had to realise: I'm never going to be 35 again, I'm never going to look like Suzy Quatro, my legs are never going to be long enough to make me 5'8''
@MrsTerryPratchett yes, yes to the skin thing. I lost 3 stone but on this way of eating everything just seemed to tighten in and I'm not left with a big baggy chin...
So today, food -
Coffee with cream
L - left over chicken, left over turnip, left over cabbage, fried eggs
D - left over paneer mutter (or halloumi, spinach and courgette curry)
Tomorrow I'm meeting a friend for a physically distanced walk and a picnic. I stupidly got in a panic and couldn't imagine what to do on a picnic without a sandwich. But now I've got cheese and ham rollitos, cucumber, salad leaves, radish, a tomato, olive oil and mushrooms in mayonnaise, then 2 strawberries (please forgive me @BIWI) chopped into double cream with the grating of one quarter square of 90% chocolate.
