Hi everyone, I'm an online member living in Germany so can't ask at classes for advice:-( . Does anyone know what syns Bran is? (have got a good recipe for "bread" made with just bran, eggs and quark) and I´m trying to work its syns value out!

Hi Sarjsmith, just had a look at Syns online for you but Bran isn't listed - it just comes up with 4 pages of "Brandy, apricot; Brandy cherry; beer, branded etc etc", LOL!

The nearest they had on the list was Bran Bread which was 2.5 syns for 25g but don't think that would really help you. From what you say it sounds as though it is used "as a flour" if this is the case then it would be 4 or 4.5 syns per 25g.

HTH.

Sure Mediterranean Mum, here it is:
3 Large eggs
200g Quark (fat free)
10 tablespoons OatBran
2 tablespoons wheat bran.
1 level teaspoon salt

Pre heat oven to 200 Fan (210 conventional) line a20cm x 10 cm ( approx)loaf tin with greaseproof paper. Mix egg yolks, quark and bran and salt together, then whip the egg whites till stiff and fold into the bran mixture. spoon into the baking tin and cook for approx 45 - 50 mins. Cool and scoff!!

The texture is a bit more towards cake than bread and it only rises to about 5 -6 cms high, but it suits me as a bread substitute piled high with more quark and lean ham or to eat with a soup. (plus it keeps for a week in the fridge, not that mine ever lasts that long :-) )

I eat during the night too, when I cant sleep, I know its just a learned reaction, I wake, think of chocolate, go and get some, usually loads!
so much for me posting after 11 last night, that my choc was still uneaten !! Wait for this... Between 12 and 6 am, I ate, 5 WW choc wafer bars, 2 small cad bubbly bars, 3 med pkts of cadbury buttons !:eek: SO thats my battle my lifelong chocolate addiction. I remember getting dinner money of 10p , lol, spent 5p on a hot pie, 5p on galaxy, my pal and I used to see who could make it last longest.:)

Dunno what my mood is today, a bit low, so we shall see..

I'm a chocoholic but never ever eaten in the night - this was a total first for me. I've actually had a chocolate craving most of the day today and have resisted the urge 3 times to go out and buy some!!!!

Thanks for that I may try that.

Is anyone finding it difficult to get Quark at the minute? My tesco superstore seems to have stopped doing it and my Asda doesn't do it either. Annoying

Not been a good day for me today and I think that's mainly down to the fact that I didn't sleep last night.

I've been craving chocolate all day - not eaten it but eaten lots of other c**p instead (wish I'd had the chocolate!).

I have a totally unrelated question - does anyone know where I might be able to buy culottes (split skirt/trousers) in the UK?

I've heard Primark are doing them
