Thanks Zav, I usually do add a little cornflour at the end.

Thanks for the tip on the mousse - I think I let the jelly cool but not quite set - need to leave it a little longer obviously! It was good anyway OH loved it! :rotfl:

Yes, Schwartz Cajun is free I've used it before.

I ended up saying sod it today and ate everything in sight. Really regretting it now, because I just feel rubbish - headache, lethargic. It is back on the plan tomorrow!!

Never done this myself, but people at group talk about letting the jelly get a little bit set before blending with the muller as otherwise the yogurt and jelly have different densities and split...???

Yeah you have to wait until it's almost set, then you whisk or blend the quark/VLF FF into it. It looks like you've ruined it and it won't set again but it does. There's a proper knack to getting it fluffy and mousse-like. I haven't discovered that yet! I know it can be done as it appeared at one of our tastings. Along with the potato base pizza which I have only ever made once and it was like eating a pile of mash with veg on top. A woman at our group got it to be a stiff pizza base so you could hold it like a pizza. If I had her cooking ability, I too would be at blooming target!

Well done Angie for your loss, :T:T

I had WI in this afternoon, and ive put on 1 lb. Not suprising really after losing 6 lbs last week then eating like an utter pig all weekend it was bound to bite me in the bum :rotfl:
Nevermind, i am enjoying 2 fried eggs on toast and a vodka with diet irnbru, then im back on EE properly again. i definently think it works, i just need to stick to it.

Sometimes it does you good to have a blow out as the effects make you realise how good you feel physically and emotionally when you are 100% on plan. I've gained motivation that way before when I lose sight of why I am doing this. Just to be able to say to yourself that sticking to plan makes you feel energetic, healthy and alert makes it easier to stick to..........In theory

LOL, i actually quite liked it with the jelly underneath - a bit like a trifle! :j

I was going to say that, but wasn't sure if my positive spin would have been welcomed

Positive spins are welcome!
Next time I feel like a blowout, I think I will just remember how I didn't feel very good after, and so I should make way for a few extra syns (ie allowing myself a chocolate bar and that's it) but not go this far. I can't get over how nasty my dinner was lol!
