Happy birthday Lynz.. _party_

Sorry-flutterby -I forgot to say earlier that YES -the frozen veggie mince was coming up at 3syns per 100g.

Mel -I don't mind having a bash at doing you a meal plan if you are stuck, I would just need to know

• what won't/can't you eat
• what sort of meals you like normally
• are you at home for lunch etc
• ooohh what SW cookbooks you have, if any
• oh and do you like cooking or would rather have quick things?
• oh and finally (for now) -where do you shop -so I could pick stuff from there...

Think that might do it....

Help! Have made a veggie chilli for tea but its way too hot!

Is there a way to cool it down?

Cant add much to it as need it to be syn free and am vegan so think Im stuck there? Could try soya yoghurt but it might curdle?

Might have to think of something else to cook but am low on vege now til shopping and not going out in the rain!

Any ideas?

I have heard of adding a peeled potato to soak up the chilli, never tried it though.
What about having a big dollop of soya yogurt on top (like sour cream) to neutralise the chilli? Works with dairy yogurt and curry, so might work?

Hi there alisont

A pinch of sugar/sweetener sometimes reduces to heat .... could you fish out the solids and add another tin tomatoes/passata to them-then freeze the original sauce to use when you make your next batch ?

Hi, does anyone know if it's ok to breastfeed actually at the SW image therapy? I'm just awaiting my 6 week check and the all clear from the Drs to go back to SW whilst breastfeeding, but I'm pretty sure the only group I can go to will be during the day when I may need to feed DS. If I can't stay for image therapy I'd rather just use the books I have and weigh myself at Boots as it's a lot of money just to weigh and run!

MRSMCAWBER

ok -I just looked up the cals in a 42g ripple and then worked it out and it came to 11.5syns -hope its right...

I bought the MrA Meringue nests and they said on website 2.5 (so I agree with Mrs Mc)..... If three of us agree it must be right!!!!!!!

The mushroom and bean pate turned out OK... but a bit wet, might do it oven next time instead of SC.

If it wasn't ok I would bother going back at all, Nitha. Anyone who objects to a baby being discreetly fed naturally in this day and age, should be ashamed of themselves. My daughter has just been given a V shaped shawl which you tie in a knot over your shoulder for a breastfeeding cover-up. Perfect privacy for Mum & baby. Perhaps you could try something similar if you are a little nervous. Remember the more people who do breastfeed in public, the more socially acceptable it will become again. Most people would prefer that than hear a baby wailing for food anyway!
