    special k crisps are 93 calories for either 21 or 23 crisps.
    Quite like the new plain ones.

  • 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?

    PGxx

    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 tomorrow
  • 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.
