Help! I have the following left in the bottom of my fridge -
Obergene
2 large Leeks
bunch of wilted Spring Onions
Packet of Swede, Carrot and Potato (chopped for 'mashing').
All of which need to be made into something today else they will go to waste. Want to cook them and freeze them ready for use in the week but all I can think of is a soup but not sure this would taste nice ????
Anyone got any SW friendly ideas ?
Had a WW Bagel with extra light Philedelphia (mini pot) and ham for lunch with a side salad (that I ended up throwing away as it had wilted and was yuck ! So had a satsuma instead).
Started with Fruit and cholesterol lowering drink for brekkie
Am cooking chillie con carne tonight with Quron mince, peppers, mushrooms, tinned tomato and kidney beans served with rice. While hubby has his usual large pepperoni pizza!
Then I have a peach, fromage frais and honey to sweeten treat later. Need to catch up on my water intake as well.
Talking of rice ~ what is the difference between long grain and Basmatti? Always looks the same to me!
ThanksFailure is only someone elses judgement.
Without change there would be no butterflies.
If its important to you, you'll find a way - if not, you'll find an excuse ! ~ Easy to say when you take money out of the equation!

Hi all, Lisa: Don't get stressed out at this early stage of planning the best day of your life. Have a quiet chat with OH family and make sure everyone is involved. I only say this cos it will spoil your day if there's any bad feeling in the run up to it. I'm not saying let her have her own way in everything just let her 'think' she's being taken into account.
Dizzy - I would do the smudging of the lippy thing and spray perfume and just tell OH that you only went for an hour!!! Wishing you well, whatever you decide. x0 -

Someone has given me a popcorn popper, I thought it would be good for snacks, good munchability factor if you know what I mean!Grocery Challenge (2 adults 2 kids)

I've just tried adding chopped toms and kidney beans and beef stock to my spag bol, but I think I just don't like quorn mince. Think I'll have to just stick it and buy proper mince next time. I'm sure it was ok last time I bought it but I just can't eat it this time!Became Mrs Scotland 16.01.16

Hi ladies. I've been so excited yesterday and and today about the wedding plans but MIL to be has just ruined it :mad:. I thought he had told her or I wouldn't have said anything. We only decided on Wed that we were going to do it next year and she's thrown a strop already!!! If this is a sign of things to come I will throw a bigger strop and refuse to get married at all!!!!! I can't be doing with difficult people! My mum is happy for us
.
i sneaked off and got married,i only told my ma,my parents have argued and fought since their divorce 25years ago! so to avoid the drama i sneaked off and then announced us as married,why should someone else control YOUR day? are you marrying her or her son? then consider how much it will cost for her to have her own way? or am i just being grumpy and pre-menstrual?0 -
OH has been home showered, changed and gone to his presentation evening.
I feel reallllllly guilty now as Ive told a big massive fat lie.........I said I was going to the do _pale_ I started putting my make up on before he left, and generally made a tip in the bedroom as I normally would.
Ive got my party outfit on....and a liberal spray of perfume - Im going to watch family fortunes & X-factor in my clothes (give them sufficient time for the linen pants to get creased) then get changed into my Jamas and wait for OH to get back around 11 ish. Ive worked it out then that If I say I got home at 10 ......its quite believable I suppose, 45 min each way travel settin off at 6.30???
WHY AM I SUCH A WUSS........:rotfl::(0 -

I can eat quorn made into a chilli (at a push).....but not spag bol or anything else.0 -
Dizzy - you little monkey, LOL - don't blame you a bit. Enjoy your evening! A little untruth is not so bad if it's helping to avoid another tiff with OH. He really sounds like a little gem but he is a man after all is said and done and they just don't think like us do they? x0
