No lemon as far as I can see and as far as Im concerned stock is just stock, you can substitute meat and veg stock in recipes without there being a massive difference in taste.

No cream like the iceland one

Thanks though

You could always add cream, I would think that no matter the combination of ingredients, its never going to taste exactly like the shop bought one.

Maybe. Trying new things cooking wise is a good idea though.

I can get away with walnuts, the rest I don't like and they hurt my teeth/jaw

Same for seeds

Is it seeds hurt your jaw, Tink2, or are you saying you don't like them? I wasn't sure which, from your comment.

I am eating things I never ate before, 6 months ago I would have had that salad I posted earlier, I used to pull salad out of sandwiches lol

If I wanted my OH to recreate the iceland caper sauce how much of each thing do you think we would need to use?

Ok found this one

I'm thinking, take out spinach, add garlic and parsley?

nonnatus

Tink2 - are you using tinfoil as a plate?! Cool idea! I guess you just chuck it away when finished and no washing up eh?


I'm the same as Flick, in that I just don't THINK about food much. I have lemon tea when I get up and then hit the computer (I work from home). I drink lots of water and tea through the day and then generally "remember" that I'm hungry at about 2pm. I have a bit of whatever I fancy at my desk (sometimes an apple, sometimes a chunk of cheese).
I have my tea with my kids and my mum (who lives with us now) at about 5pm. Tea is whatever we fancy, but always home-made Monday to Friday (naughty food on weekends only...).


Tink, I think your biggest problem might be portion control. My daughter has the same problem! She is struggling with her weight but says she doesn't eat often. But when she makes a tuna sandwich for instance, she uses half a baguette, two tins of tuna and a whole tin of sweetcorn!! WAY too much food. Your dinner also looks very big... Have you thought about cutting portions?
