Thank you Thank you!!

I am going to asda in the morning which isnt my usual shop-will analyse the planner now and figure it out.

BTW mr arty has gone to poker but he finished his experimental whateverhewasdoing how would you like to see it?

I would like to see it

Would he rather be the grand unveiler or is he a modest shy chap?

ps the cals are easy cos we published them but the sat fat is a bit harder, sorry! (to all WW ones, but I think we will soon be able to publish saturates information too..)

He is worried that you will have to download loads of software to see what he has done. However I think it would be better for you to see it otherwise he may be working on something you dont need/want.

BTW he is loving doing it xxx

weezl, no just rice in general. I can't look for sure as i'm on my phone, but i seem to remember that potatoes are fairly low, pasta moderate and rice higher. That was my perception anyway! But in everything, the high oil content is the worst offender, so reducing that is the single most effective action

gosh that's very wee, are you a very petite lady, like ISOM? she is about half the height of my DH he has to fold himself in half to hug her!

I told my mum today I had about 9 lb of baby weight to go, and she said she did too.

yes I've been worried about that too, as I'd hate to waste his time but aware it's hard to be clear on t'internet!

What do I need to do?

Hes done it in python I think. Dont worry about wasting his time, im more worried about you being disappointed in his ability.

When he gets back (which will be after your bed time) I will get him to post what/how he has done than maybe you could get the software and he could show you tomorrow? Its all open source as far as I'm awarexxx

ummm....I dunno I'm 5'7 is that petite? I think I was slightly underweight then but I looked good:D

Nine stone is probably a better weight for me but quite a long way to go yet...mind you by the time you all meet me I will be there!!!

good golly you are tall too!

I'm sure we will all look lovely when we meet, diets or no diets, I shall so enjoy meeting you all

artybear

Is that tall? Mr art is 6'2 so I always feel quite little.

Aless how do you work out the points-do you put literally every ingredient into the planner thingy online?

Okay, okay. experiment 1- caramelised onion hummus...
1 large onion, chopped
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp sugar

Place onion on baking sheet (mine had silicone liner on it)
Mix vinegar and sugar together and drizzle over
Turn onion over with hands until covered

Bake at the bottom of the oven (underneath something else you are cooking!) until softened and browned turning over occasionally (at 200C this took about 30 minutes)

Stir into 100g of hummus with 1tsp garlic puree

Stand in kitchen and eat with a teaspoon.
Umm... scrap the last bit...





Option 2- lightly spicy hummus

to 100g hummus, add 2 tsp garlic puree, 2 tsp garam masala, mix well

The garam adds a lovely sweetness to it which counteracts the extra garlic.
Probably good to not have this if you fancy a snog with someone who isn't eating it.

Am having it with some red lentil pate, leftover bechamel and tomato sauce mixed together and some homemade chips! :eek:

ll done! And I still have some chickpeas to make a batch of "my way" hummus (with indulgent ingredients like tahini and cumin )

All use the website recipe as a base.

Hummus #1: Italian style hummus
Add 4 basil leaves, tomato paste, oregano and extra garlic.

Hummus #2: Spicy curried hummus
Add garam masala, ginger, extra lemon juice and extra chili.

Hummus #3: Savoury hummus with a bite
Add balsamic vinegar, tiny bit of ginger, 1/2 tsp Marmite & scant 1/2 tsp mustard.

I thought I would like #1 the best, but actually #3 is my favorite! It's got a sweetness but a then a tiny bite from the mustard, mmmmmm.

They all taste quite different to me and I even tested by having 3 bits of bread one after the other to check .

thank you shankletons
