I love celery raw, on its own, with primula cheese spread down the middle or dipped in marmite. I can not stand the stuff cooked though. Cauliflower is the same, love it raw with dips, the thought of it cooked makes me gag.:A

I feel the same about tomatoes: Don't like whole cooked tomatoes - but can have puree or whatever. With me it's definately the texture..."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

I need to do some work to get back up to full strength after being ill and the lump (which has gone woohoo!)
instead of a straight run I did a circuit:
treadmill 5 mins
punchbag 5 mins
weights 5 minutes.
Managed the circuit 3 times.
Glad to be exercising again but feeling a bit disappointed.

That's 45 minutes of exercise Linda, pretty good if you ask me. The last time I did 45 minutes on gym equipment was back in 2003. It was the day before a big showbizzy type event and I suddenly realised I was a bit optimistic when I bought a size 6 dress. All that 45 minutes did was make me walk around all night as if my nappy needed changing:rotfl::A

Only because I've already done the savoury. I sent my son to the chippy for dinner
