Hey bargainbird,
Spicy potatoes for about 6 people:
1kg potatoes
6 tbl sp extra virgin olive oil
3 tsp cumin seeds
3 tsp black mustard seeds
3 tsp sesame seeds
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp cayenne
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp paprika
1 tbl sp lemon juice
Peel and dice potatoes into 1cm cubes. Parboil in a pressure cooker for 4 minutes or boil for 10mins in ordinary saucepan. Cool.
Heat oil in a large wok and put in cumin, mustard and sesame seeds till they pop. Put in potatoes and stir fry for 5 mins turning regularly. Add salt, cayenne, turmeric and paprika mixed, followed by lemon juice. Turn frequently for 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off heat but leave with lid on for 5-10 mins (quality checking time:)) Enjoy:)
Sounds an odd mixture but we love this with steak & mushroom pie. First time was by accident to use up the spicy potatoes rather than waste them. Now it is one of DSs favourite meals.

Hester - Good luck to your DD and wishing her a safe and pain free delivery xxxx

Morning ladies and gents

Bloomin' cold here :eek: WM will be on several times today as I am stripping all the beds. Might push the vac round. Again. I must, must, must clean the bathroom. In fact once I've finished on MSE I will go and do it.
Might make some cheese straws this morning as DS and DD (and me ) really like them
Think I will cook pizza for tea tonight.

Got to pop to Wilkinsons to pick up some silicone cup cake cases I ordered for my mum. £2.47 for 12, wish I'd ordered some for me now

Bargainbird - slow down there missy, you'll put the rest of us to shame :eek:

EG - I think we put so much effort into Christmas that we have no reserves left for January. Still on the plus side the evenings are drawing out :T

Hugs, spoons and high fives all round. Have a good day OS or not.

Morning all:j:j
Well we had another up and down night with the twins. Both have been sick in the night more than once:eek: so very little sleep has been had here. Iv been up about 30mins the cats woke me up they wonted there breakfast:mad: I had both of them just on the bed headbutting my face and pawing me.:mad: Cats are now fed.

My wife and twin 2 are still fast asleep. Twin one has just woke up and is now sat on the sofa with the bbc news cannal on. No cartoons yet i dont think i can cope with them at the moment.

Not sure what we are going to do today. The twins are not going to there daceing today. We decided that in the night. We could do with poping to a shop, but there is not a lot we need so im not sure if we will go out anywere other than the local shop.

Redruby there is nothing better than an afternoon nap:j:j

Well i hope that you all ahve a great day everyone whta ever you are all doing.

Enjoy yourselfs:j:j

Morning All

Thanks for starting the thread BB. Hester - cant wait to hear from you later. NPM - sounds like a lovely day you have planned, enjoy.
Just put last nights last wash on the driers. One load to do today. DS3 and friend are up and on the WII, I am taking them to footy training soon. DS2 has a game, if it is on, it is very frosty here. DS1 is also training but was complaining about a sore leg yesterday. Off to town this afternoon for school shoes.
Will need to go food shopping later but need to write a list first. I will keep it simple as still full of cold.

Got weighed this morning and I have lost 4lbs:j not sure how I managed that, probably a combination of cold and job worries. I have lost 6lbs so far - only 1st 2lbs to go.:eek:

Have a lovely day everyone, will pop back later for Hesters news.

Morning all! I was up at 5:30 this morning!! OH had to leave for work and doesn't function well in the mornings so i have to make him a thermos of coffee to take with him. Pup and i went back for a snooze but don't feel like i slept at all!

I think i have stayed the same weight this week, but seeing as i've had to loose the 3lbs my body decided to add onto me at the start of the week i think thats an achievement in it's self.


I am going food shopping with my mum today, I checked my bank and i have now been paid so can get a bit more than i was planning on spending. We've got lots in the freezer but if there are any bargains i don't need to worry about buying them now.

Thanks for all the FB adds/ accepts it's nice to put a name to a face.

Dinner tonight is a curry from the most recent slimming world magazine. Chicken curry with spinach dhal and rice - it sounds too good to be healthy but we'll give it a go!

Need to clean the shared hallway today and put some clothes on to wash when i get back as we've no powder.

Hester - Congrats and i hope everything goes well
Gillian - which DS game is it that you are looking for?
Silvermaid - thanks for the recipe, will be putting that to use

Hugs to all who need them xx

Morning All

Hester how exciting, hope it goes well:j

Cold and frosty here too. Still in bed as its freezin when I put my toe out:D

WM will be busy here too, I have a muddy football kit to wash along with uniforms and work stuff.
Also need to pop to Mr T's for the bits I couldn't get from Mr A's yesterday and a Guardian. We read it all week and do the crossword and puzzles,its worth every penny:money:

DH will be working on DS2 bedroom today as if we wait for him to paint it we will wait forever

Normal cleaning and cooking, not sure about tea but I will be making lemon drizzle cake

Have a good day peeps

Morning Everybody,

I've been up for hours...for no reason what-so-ever!!
Cold here but not frosty. Went out yesterday and the wind was so bitter,it was freezing,so i'm hoping its warmer today.

Lazy morning with DD then off to a friends,the kidlets can play and we shall gossip...i mean catch up

Hoover today and ironing tonight.
Washing all done...for now,basket is never empty for long!
Will be using up bits for tea : Bacon,mash and peppers. Grilling the bacon,adding some cheese to the mash and roasting the peppers. Bit of an odd one but Hey Ho we all do it,right??

Hope all are well-if not big ((((hugs))))- and you have exciting weekends,may pop on again this evening.
