Jamie roasted beetroot in the oven tonight like a jacket potato...I've always hated it but might try this way

Peppa that beetroot feta and green salad sounds amazing.

Well, I can officially report that the roast chicken I did was AMAZING. Really, really good. I changed my mind about having it with salad, and instead steamed some carrots and some gravy (mainly Bisto but added the juices from the pan). I have to say it was delicious. So, those who want the recipe (not sure it was too different from earlier versions, but there's no version on this new thread):

-Marinade skinned chicken thighs/drumsticks with chopped and pounded garlic, thyme, a little salt, squeeze of lemon juice and olive oil.
-Preheat oven to 200 (GM 6).
-Quarter a large red onion and lemon (can add carrots or other veg), and place on bottom of a baking dish, interlaced with thyme sprigs.
-Shake chicken free of excess marinade and lay over onions.
-Pour over half a glass of white wine (I used Chilean Pinot Grigio) and maybe a swish of olive oil
-Cook for 40-45 mins depending on size of chicken pieces.

MMMMmmmmmmm. Delish. Really moist too - surprisingly, as I had taken off the skin before cooking.

So for my dinner I had that, about three baby new potatoes, steamed carrots and gravy. Plus one glass of the wine. And another while I MN.

Small handful of grapes for after dinner sweet snackage.

just back from dinner with glasjam, we ordered 11.5% alc pinot grigio to try not to biff up. and shared starters and dessert like a couple of middle-aged lesbians, so cute. very nice meal, and company was excellent of course (and we essentially got thrown out when the place closed). anyhoo i said 'come onto the anorexic thread' and she said that it would be unbearable now that su had reached her target.. any truth in that, oh slender leaderene?

BudaisintheZONE · 29/04/2010 08:04

LOl at "middle-aged lesbians"!! Bless. Am sure you looked sweet.

Morning all!! Up and at it then.

Have had breakfast - big bowl of granola.

About to take dog for walk. She is hinting madly. Well when I say hinting she is pushing at my arm as I type!

noddyholder · 29/04/2010 08:17

3 slices of 'nice' ham and 2 black coffees trying to get in the zone for the next few days!Have big do sat but am finding it easier and easier to drink less.

JackBauer · 29/04/2010 08:28

Bowl muesli with added banana and a freebie instant carte noire capuccino sachet, which was surprisingly nice. Supposed to be going on a run adn then a picnic later but it's abotu to bucket it down so nto sure what to do.

mummymels · 29/04/2010 09:06

Hi, hows everyone doing? For some reason all my saved threads seem to have disappeared so I'm having to look for them again. Has anyone else had that problem?

Just noticed that sherbert lemonade though and that sounds gorgeous. What do you put in with the apples and lemon?

PeppaPigot · 29/04/2010 09:11

noddyholder · 29/04/2010 09:15

No gym here.Walk miles though must look nuts circling the park with all the cyclists passing me.Am considering buying a pilates machine have seen amazing results on friend who is quite big and has no desire to diet as she is mega healthy just not skinny.Her shape and tone is incredible.

EricPicklesFatNeck · 29/04/2010 09:17

pilates machines look like torture chambers! the mat exercises are good too.

JackBauer · 29/04/2010 09:22

peppa you twonk.

I think solved, might get wrap dress thing from matalan or found a batwing purpley top in my wardrobe I've not worn as it was too small, but is opkay now!

is drizzling adn don't want to run as have cramps so am going to go on x trainer upstairs and watch something on uiplayer while DD2 is at her playgroup.

Then have to do some more work on my personal statement, ugh.
Salad for lunch, bolocknaise for tea.

mummymels · 29/04/2010 09:23

I've never heard of a pilates machine before. Without sounding too thick what are they like?

BudaisintheZONE · 29/04/2010 09:27

Peppa - your beetroot/feta salad sounds fab. I am assuming it is not a jar of pickled beetroot? Can you tell me how you do it please? Sounds like something DH and I would like.

Must hunt out Jack's style thread.

Have done my walk. Huge long walk by my standards. Being pulled along by dog. Wore a pedometer and have only done 2,050 steps!!!!! Am going to wear all day and see how many steps I do.

Forgot sunscreen so will have big red face later.

Finishing off wardrobe clearout later. Moved boxes I had summer clothes in and realised it was all mouldy behind them. Could be interesting. Need to open them up and wash everything.

Would love to try pilates but everyone who does it here is mega skinny. I may splash out on some private sessions. Maybe I can tell DH I will do that for my birthday. I have always had problems with my stomach. Am convinced i was born without stomach muscles.

fishie · 29/04/2010 09:31

i like outdoors and solitude so running is good. no gym for me.
