Thanks for new thread shala.


http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/braised_steak_with_gravy_24508


Hairy Bikers' braised steak was yummy!!:drool:


I can't believe it made 500ml of delicious gravy for just a tsp of cornflour. I made it today with some sirloin steaks that weren't good enough for pan frying but I'll definitely do it again with either some braising steak or using up some shin I've got in the freezer. I always soften my onions in the microwave first and I substitute Frylight for the oil but otherwise exactly to recipe.


Tonight we had it with roast potatoes and veg but it would be excellent with chips, mushrooms and tomatoes.

Good Morning. Nice shiny new thread! Thanks to Annie for last challenge and Shala for starting this one off, lets hope we all do really well

Welcome tori and philsmum. Hope we can help!

Had a couple of lovely discoveries this weekend. I had a bath for the first time in ages (I'm a shower girl, not filthy!) and it was so much more comfy. I could move around in there and had space at the sides of me, I didn't create a tidal wave when I sat up :rotfl:

I've also been going through my clothes, I got rid of loads that don't fit and found out what does fit again! Sadly, the thinner stuff I held onto is mostly poshish dresses and going out clothes. Now I have two small children that's not going to happen

My back to basics week is going well still. Not been off plan at all. Should get me my 2 stone shiny tomorrow night, fingers crossed.

Today's menu (Green):
B: Branflakes & milk
L: Roll with soft cheese and lots of salad
S: Fruit and ff yoghurt
Bolognaise type sauce (made with quorn mince) and pasta

Will work some syns in there somewhere...

NO moaning all positive positive positives from the Fat Frog today


I shall weigh in on Monday's, and possibly just post then. I just can't keep up otherwise, Frogs are slow readers.


SO starting weight is 17st 11lb. I actually thought it would be about 50 stone, well, maybe 45 stone no need to exaggerate, so I'm thrilled with 17 stone.


My target will be 26lb please Shala, then I can be 15 something. It's doable, I put it on really quick, I'll get it off don't worry.


I won't be joining a real life SW group again, but I'm sending my £5 through the airwaves to Maman if that's ok? 'PING' There you go.


Good luck all of us
