Hi all,
I've been getting myself in a bit of a stew, and thought I'd come on here and ask your collective advice.
This is as you know my first proper week, and I want to stick to plan 100%. But... this weekend I will be indulging in my hobby of reenactment, and I'm a bit stuck with what to do about food.
Lunch is a buffet affair of historically appropriate foods, I'll list what below:
Bread -small round bakery loaves, white and spelt usually
Cheese - cheddar, wensleydale, cheshire, soft cheese
Ham
Chicken breast chunks
Scotch pancakes
yoghurt (sometimes; full fat)
raisins
almonds / hazelnut / pine nuts
sometimes there are berries
carrots
apples
other fruit and veg as is in season
We cook our evening meal authentically during the afternoon for the public to see. I have no idea what this will be, but stews and sausages are not uncommon. I'm staying in a B&B overnight, and they've already agreed to grill my breakfast, so I'm not too worried there (lean bacon, mushroom, beans, tomato - should be fine). Drinks are either water, diet coke (hidden in a jug, but ick) or apple juice which is high in syns given the kind of volumes I'll need in this weather.
What choices would be best from the lunch buffet? I was thinking I could take my own w/meal rolls and keep them out of sight until lunch. Then one would be a HEB and I could have a bit of cheese as HEA, some ham, and then go to town on the apples and any salady veg they bring?
Should I risk the collective evening meal or take something homemade and be anti-social?

1.5 off for me this week.
My consultant got me some syn free chicken sausages which are lovely. Made some syn free ketchup to dip them in along with sweet potato chips mmmm
PG maybe it would be easier to have a flexi syn day and enjoy yourself without going mad!!!0 -
fozziebeartoo: i tried the muller light toffee one but i just couldn't eat it so guess i will have to stick to just fruit. i found the flavor and texture just yucky lol
skintcatt: i hope your back feels better, i can imagine its hard to take it easy with a young'un and in this heat it don't help, maybe a warm bath might help?
i been a busy bee today so not ate much but am using up syns on pure orange juice i mixed with diet lemonade, i did enjoy some Linda McCarthy red onion and rosemary sausages with some SW chips, might have to make some SW crisps if i can cut them thin enough but will leave that for tomorrow0 -
oh dear my food has been pants today. This heat & a lack of stuff in fridge means a bit of a crap day. I haven't over synned or anything just haven't eaten as much as I probably should have done tho.
Trip to tesco tmrw & better planning I guess. I've already got some prawns out of the freezer so will be forced to do something with them tmrw as at wedding on sat.when life gives you lemons, stick them in your top & pretend you have pointy boobs.
When life gives you melons, stick them in your top & say you've had a boob job0
