off to bed now to recover from the sickness.

Can anyone do a bit of googling about doughnuts?

I'm thinking with our normal bread dough and some golden syrup inside?

lesley I added one more bag of bread flour another jar of olives and that really helped, including the spices and mustard

brill! takes it down to 4790, which is just 38pppd

found this one, have made them before in the dim and distant past, and these sound similar

Weezl dont mean to be picky but in your Rice Pudding recipe it looks like there is raisins in it and also you have a pic with raisins in a jar but they are not mentioned anywhere in recipe is this a typo?

So, I may have solved the calorie problem.
We just need to get all of the family to get an office job (or fill in lots of surveys!)

Oh no Weezl, it's bad news if you are up with us night owls. Hope you're not too poorly.

Here's a funny story for you, and another reason people might need to follow the plan!

How about, instead of doughnuts, sweet bread buns. "Artisan bread in 5 mins a day" has a recipe for savoury ones.

Basic premise is: take piece of bread dough, flatten a bit stuff with a tablespoon or so of stuff, reseal, bake. Bit like a calzone. Now, I was thinking, maybe stuffed with raisins and syrup or apple and raisin and garam masala and syrup, ooh drool. Sorry lost concentration there.

Would be out in the kitchen making some now, but we dont get proper syrup. only corn syrup, which isnt the same, oh and maple, but that would just be wrong!

Lesley, sorry to keep talking project when you had a stressful day yesterday, and hope you're ok!

But whenever you get the chance:

I realise we now have a version control issue following both of us reacting to 'calorie gate'.

I swapped celery for parsnips, changed just the cals (sorry!) and added in bread flour, olives and made a 75 cal pppd allowance for fruit. That left me with just 880 cals deficit, which given the values of garam, garlic and mustard, I was happy with.

In your version you have done similar things plus righted the wrongs of the sundried toms (I haven't done this as I feared it would be 'death by maths' for my brain!), and you have a 5-6000 calorie deficit?

Is that right? (I'm just trying to say the steps I think we've each gone thru cos I think neither of us now has the best and most accurate version, which is in fact the love child of the two

So the question is how do we get our spreadsheets together?!
