Good evening all. I really am late in posting today as woke up stupidly early cos of daughter going to work and instead of the usual nod back to sleep thought no im getting up. So there it started. Had a bath, come down cooked a full english for hubby and i. Soon cleared it up and then went on a mad blitz of the living room. Sorted out all my husbands books on the huge Ikea cube unit we have, moved the sofas around while vaccuming and steam cleaning floors. Cleaned both of the windows. Washed the vertical blinds. Put everything back and now waiting for tea to cook. Should have a good bit of body magic in there too with stepping up and down to hang each individual slat.
So todays meals were -

B, SW fry up - 2 sos, mushrooms, toms, scrambled egg.
L, last of the cajun chicken soup.
T, Smoked haddock, steam rice with peas and sweetcorn and extra mixed veg.

Still have HEB to use but am tied between a baked apple or ryvita with some kerry low low. Then hoping to relax in bed with a nice mug of Whittards herbal tea (4).

What's a SOS in yr fry up? Is it sausage and is it free?

It's 11 on all plans!!!!!:eek: New Covent Garden Soup Co, Leek & Potato Soup, chilled, 600g carton

Ummmmm Stef can you link me to the cajun soup recipe? Sounds delicious

Oopsadaisydoodle - sos are sausages and they are the Sainsburys be good to yourself cumberland extra lean ones and are half a syn each.

Zippychick - the soup is from the SW website.

1 green pepper, deseeded and chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 sticks celery, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 x 142g/5oz chicken breast fillets, skinned
1 x 397g/14oz can chopped tomatoes
1 tsp dried oregano
1 level tsp artificial sweetener
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
¼ tsp paprika
½ tsp tabasco sauce
1704ml/3pt chicken stock made with Bovril ( i dont think i used anywhere near that much though as it was too watery - this is one that definitely tastes better next day too.)
salt and ground black pepper
chopped fresh coriander leaves, to garnish

1. In a non-stick frying pan, dry fry the green pepper, onion and celery with the crushed garlic until soft. Remove from the pan and set aside.

2. Cut the chicken fillets into small pieces and dry fry them in the same pan for about 3–4 minutes, until golden brown.

3. Transfer the vegetables and chicken to a large saucepan. Add the tomatoes, oregano, artificial sweetener, Cajun seasoning, paprika, tabasco and stock. Simmer gently over a low heat for 30 minutes.

4. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve the soup hot, sprinkled with chopped fresh coriander.

Can i just check something with you lovelies please - my lady friend has just said her consultant has told her if she isnt having one of the HE's a day she can double up on the other one, now i haven't heard this mentioned at all in group and to clarify she is following EE. Anyone have any clues?

We were told use them or lose the Stef - no doubling up on HEA if you don't have HEB, and no rolling over to next day like you can with syns. Sorry. x

Thanks for the quick replies, I were sure that was the case with them but didnt want to give wrong advise first. I did say i would check with my consultant as i were certain it was one of each and not the doubling option. I am concerned that her group now may not be as good as it should be. Especially with last weeks niavity of being able to continue eating your old foods and losing weight and now the HE's situation.
