    Scotmum- where do you buy your tahini from? I am looking for a reasonably priced one.

    Hi I get mine from Holland & Barrett they do a normal and a lighter version. It's not too expensive and it lasts me a while.:)

    Hiya, I finally got round to reading this thread through! It's all looking good.

    Tomorrow's lunch for us will be pitta breads filled will ham, salad and coleslaw which I'm quite looking forward to. I do hate trying to fill the pittas though because they just rip constantly! I was getting a bit annoyed!

    We always eat well on a Monday as I've had the sunday to prepare it... :)

  • JoJo, I'm glad I'm not the only one who has that problem with pitta bread!! Very, very rarely manage to open it without a tear or gaping hole in it!

    Lunch is mushroom pasta, made up this morning from leftover veg so 3/12 . for me.
  • Okay, I've been naughty but at least today is a start! 1/18 for me :o

    Hello everyone, happy Monday to you all :)

    Welcome new people, whether you are new to MSE or just new to this thread :)

    I have added everyone up to here :)

    JoJoC you havent set a target, did you want to? I had the same probs with pitta, but now i toast until they puff up, and leave for 3 or 4 mins to go a bit hard. Then they dont rip so easily.Also, Tesco do very large wholemeal ones (about £1 for 6, so not very frugal), but these dont rip so much as they are bigger.

    Just2Ashamed- no worries, just jump on the wagon again and all is good :)

    scotmumof3- thanks, I'll have a look in H&B next time i am near one.

    Have a great day everyone!

    5 in a row, I didn't buy anything this week, no coffees, no lunch, no snacks. I can't quite believe it. Just shows what you can do with some planning and the support of people here. :money:

    It seems like magic at first,doesn't it?It's amazing what a bit of planning and lots of determination can do. :money:
