    I love fish, I'd eat it every day if I could, but women of child bearing age shouldn't have more than two portions a week. I usually just wrap it in tinfoil with some herbs and lemon or lime juice then stick it in the oven for a bit.

    I've never heard that Ames!
    I do eat a lot more fish since I discovered the fish man but it's at the most 3 times a week.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    It's the government guidelines, apparantly it's because of the amount of heavy metals fish absorb, it can affect unborn children, and I assume fertility and things. It was in one of my many diet leaflets.

    lol Becky, I agree, when I read it I thought 'but I'm never going to have kids', I can't afford it more than twice a week though, unless I get a good whoopsie haul.

    Evening Spudly!
