Been to Birmingham today and had lunch at a newish sandwich/salad bar which is really SW friendly if you are in Birmingham....

You have a base of salad, rice or cous cous then add salad/meat items and dressing is optional so it can it seems be a syn free takeout!

Sainsburys over the road had a fresh fruit salad bar so did well today!

Flexi syn day tomorrow for the Midlands vegan festival - anyone know how many syns you should decide on for a flexi day?

Hi all, I haven't had the best day today as my friend left work so we had cake......2 lots of cake to be precise! I made one and so did one of the boys so I HAD to have a small slice of each!!! I did eat less than I had planned for my meals though!!! I'm really sad that my friend has left, she was the only other girl and we got on really well, I'm stuck with a load of stinky boys now lol!!!

Here's what I ate today, I think green probably fits best!

Brekkie - banana, rice with fruit and yog (I binned half of the rice mix as I knew cake was in the offing!!!)
Snack - carrot cake
Lunch - 6 crackerbread, 3 laughing cow light (HEA&B)
Snack - chocolate brownie cheesecake with raspberry cream!!!!!
Tea - cod and chorizo stew (HEB for cod, ?syns for chorizo), mash, veg.

The cod and chorizo stew was FABBY!!! I don't know how many syns but it won't be much!! If anyone wants the recipe let me know, we'll deffo be having it again!

Oh,and we went for a walk for about 50mins when I got home from work so hopefully that'll have got rid of some of the cake!!!

Have you got the receipe for the HB based quiche?? Thanks:beer:

Grate potatoes, squeeze dry in clean tea towel.

Press grated potato into a flan dish including up the sides and put in oven at 200 for about 10 minutes or until just browned (don't overcook).

Put chopped veg into the flan (and bacon if you have it) and cover with beaten eggs plus a little milk and cheese.

Bake in oven until set.

Serve with crisp salad and/or boiled potatoes and veg.

Highfligher, I did that with the speed soup I made last weekend. It was really thick (and I didn't like it much) so each day this week I've used it as a kind of "curry sauce" on my lunch each day by adding spices to it. I enjoyed it like that and will make it again for that express purpose.:D

This evening the Co-op had a big ham hock with chunks of meat still on it, 50p. So I bagged it, cut off the fat for the cats, cut off most of the meat to go in a salad or carbonara, then put the bone into some water with bayleaves, onions and peppercorns and made a lovely stock. Then I finally unpacked my Fat Magnet (from Lakeland) and sucked the fat off the top of the stock, and then scraped the remaining ham off the bone.

At that stage I should have added mushy peas to the stock and blended it, but I thought of washing up the blender & couldn't be bothered so I scooped out the onions and bayleaves, put in the mushy peas and took the potato masher to them :rotfl:, then added the chopped up meat and a vegetable stock cube and gave it a few more minutes. IT IS FAB! and FREE! and very CHEAP!
