    Good Evening :hello:

    Wowsers, what a day.

    Thank you to everyone who has popped in - it truly is wonderful to see you all here - I sincerely mean that :)

    Upsidedown Bear - i'll check out that supermercado article just now, thanks for posting.

    miz - thanks for your links too. Very helpful :D

    Right, today....... Um ...... finks very hard...... I did manage to snag a NSD :j I did wander through the m&$ foodall, but there were no YS'd things to catch my attention today.......... :( Oh, and I also had a couple of minutes to kill, so leafed through Ms Monroe's new tome, following mcculloch's hearty recommendation. I only had a quick peek, but I liked what I saw - definitely one to get from the library when they get round to stocking it...... let's hope they go mad like last time and get a few copies..... (less than SAve with JO tho...... :()

    Dinner this evening was good. I made Ms Monroe's Feisty Soup, I used the recipe from her book, but added in a couple of bendy carrots that needed using up, a small handful of lentils - for an extra protein hit, a bit of paprika, a tsp of sugar, and some salt and pepper. Ironically, Jack revisited her soup recipe this summer, and added in...... 200g of carrots..... :) To top the soup, I got some natural yoghurt, added dried parsley, salt and pepper and a couple of teaspoons of water to thin it down a little and swirled on top. I sprinkled dried chilli flakes on top, rather than adding a 'fresh' chilli to the soup. To accompany, I made a savoury version of Lily's Scones no sugar, 1 tsp salt, some mixed herbs and pepper and some chopped up jarred red peppers. 10 mins in a 200 deg c oven and you've summat to dunk in yer soup :D Pic here;

    For 'afters' we had 'free apples' crumble with custard;

    See y'all later.

  • Hello GP.

    Have been absent and just caught up on the 150... (!!!) new posts!

    Some scrummy dinners, puppy news (which I am sooper jealous of) and other fab things. Who knew there were so many epic smilies? Had me giggling every post Upsidedownbear!

    Just a quickie as I am still trying to explain myself to YNAB after falling off the wagon this last 2 weeks. :( I've never seen so much shouty red! :o:o:o

    Hugs to all! I shall be back when I have sorted myself out. And cut my nails, since they are stopping me typing properly... Oh and taped up the other hinge on my laptop. I am 2 thin wires away from having a tablet and separate keyboard :eek: - I don't think tablets work so well without touch screens... :huh:

    Night peeps xx
