    I am just going through to make home made chicken curry with lots of mushrooms and a little onion and green pepper added to it.

    Mmmm Chicken curry I love chicken curry

    The fish pie sounds nice too.I have some cauli in the fridge might try that tomorrow

    Could you really eat cod fillets while wingwalking?I'd be too busy screaming hysterically to even hold the plate let alone chew:rotfl:

    I think theres a sort of fishy theme going through the thread tonight cos I've just had king prawn salad for my tea.I deserve it too as I've spent all day cooking up the blackberries and crab apples we've picked over the last few weeks.I need the freezer space as I've got 1/2 a pig and 1/2 a lamb being delivered tomorrow.I would have said 1/2 a pig and 1/2 a lamb coming tomorrow but I've visions of gillette cracking a witty about it:D

    its funny how people who arent usually cooks after a while on lowcarb become much more interested in cooking real good food, also u tend to be more adventurous in your cooking and much more careful about what u are eating

    sorry cant eat fish wing walking or not its still yuk lol

    its like winter isnt it, i made a stew tonight and no one batted an eyelid, when do we get to make up for all our lost BBQ's?

    also pickled some beetroot (with no sugar of course) and blanched and froze a whole load of runner beans from a friends garden

    daisy feel free to start the new thread .. we can always refer back to this one and vice a versa (did that make sense?0

    well at 8g carbs per 100g they arent the lowest carb veg but as i am not that keen the most i would have is a slice with some salad and remember i am pretty much in maintenance now

    ketotis strips can be bought online if u cant get them at boots, remember to cut them in half so they last longer (very MSE!!!), i havent used them for ages tho i did when i first started atkins
