OliveOyls 82 day challenge

Karmacat

Calamari surprise? :eek: makes me glad I'm a vegetarian! Sorry

OliveOyl_2

Bought in France a while ago - we haven't been since 2006
Perhaps the OS board will have some suggestions.

I'm "not quite" a vegetarian. I love vegetarian food, and there's plenty in the freezer. But DS2 objected when I suggested lentils tonight.......

Right, I'm in work and have so far:

• claimed £10 Pigsback voucher (will update signature )
• worked out 24 x 24 squares @ £50 each square = £28,800 divided it by 365 = £79 per day and clear in one year.:j
• except that the 3 loans I don't think can be overpaid and they finish Feb 2010.....oh Hypno has given me a puzzle!
• I must work out what I need to pay Minus the 3 loans......but I'm looking forward to a colouring sheet
• And I've eaten a slab of refrigerator cake already. The kids don't like it

Oooh, I'm another 'not quite' vegetarian!

I don't really like meat at all, but can manage a bit of chicken/turkey/fish (anything that doesn't taste or look like 'proper' meat). Mainly we eat quorn or veggie stuff though. Calamari surprise sounds quite nice actually, as long as the surprise isn't that it went out of date long since! :rotfl:

What about pasta with a spicy tomato sauce, and then cook the calamari quickly and add to sauce at the last minute?

I think I would give the Calamari surprise a miss but would be quite happy with Lentils!

I am however a carnivore - sorry.

How can anyone not like refridgerator cake? Very odd.

I did wonder if you made your own hoummous? It is supposed to be quite easy butI don't tend to have all the ingredients in stock.
Have a good day

I had to use up a couple of ancient tins of calamari too. I made a risotto with fish stock, it was palatable but the children left the actual calamari pieces.

Calamari rissotto would work. And the tomato sauce thingy too. (There's 1kg bag of the stuff )
DS2 always chooses battered Calamari at a restauarant, I suspect that's why I bought it, hoping to recreate it.....

I have made humous, and I *ought* to again. I'm staying away from Sainsburys and their special offer of CaramelisedOnionHumous 2 for £2 offer.....
Tahini paste though is increasingly difficult to find round here.

I never bother to straighten my hair, my girls used to give me makeovers, but i hated the way it sat on my head..so now have various styles with it.curly, curly and Shirley temple curls if it rains:rotfl: :rotfl:

Cornwall was mixed..very warm and wet...in the rain. But enjoyable all the same..we went to loads of places and everyone was in good spirits in spite of rain..The surfers never stop do they?:D

:j Yay for moist Cornwall -I love it And surfers

Seeing your name on the thread I thought "Calamari & Turnips" why has Jamie, Nigella Delia et al not investigated that? :rotfl: :rotfl:

It seems like a nice combo to me..peppery taste, served with a lovely vintage turnip wine..mmmmm
