Hi all,
Well done to you both. I too think wearing non-office attire is not helping me. Been in T-shirt and shorts/jeggings everyday since 17 March
Latest plan for returning to office is Sept but only for some of us.
No running today. Food has been:
B - weetabix and skimmed milk (HEA/HEB)
L - grilled bacon, poached egg, baked beans, tomato/mushrooms (S)
D - tuna pasta bake, sugar snap peas
Snacks - Apple, satsuma, banana
HEA2 will be some cheese on the pasta bake. Will use Parmesan
Synbank looking good this week. I usually splurge at the beginning of the week but I’ve been really careful this week. Have 74 left until WI on Sunday morning whoop whoop!
Have a good evening all

We only managed a draw tonight. ❤️⚽ I had both chocolate and wine syns. 😉 But this current thread is about SW in lockdown and I've missed my 3 week sunshine holiday when I'd have had 21 nights off plan. I can live with that. 😁0

Shame about the runny pasta bake coxy. I've never used quark so yet to be converted.

I'm sure bubbs will explain properly later but I think the Mayflower curry s a powdered sauce mix a bit like chip shop curry.
I've seen it for sale in Farmfoods.
Having bought instant potato in Sainsbury's this week I've now got enough to make a batch of the KFC coating. I'm going to fill a screw top jar so that I can just take out what I need each week. I find I need less than the recipe says and definitely only one egg to coat 4 chicken thighs.
Todays EE plan-
B- NAS grapefruit (F), scrambled eggs (P), HEB toast, HEA milk
L- sardines (P) and beetroot (S)
D- Fake KFC (P), SW chips (F), carrots, asparagus, tomatoes, mushrooms (S)
Syns- HP sauce 1, weekend wine

Coxy - you'll be pleased to know that you can have half syn on your rum - it's 2.5 not 3 syns for 25ml measure! I usually have 2 glasses as a use a can of diet ginger beer with mine and only use half a can in each - prefer to drink it with the rum in rather than on it's own though!
maman - I find I only need one egg when I do the KFC as well. I use quark quite a bit but as a cream substitute instead of yoghurt as I prefer the taste as it's not so sharp. I've never used it as a sauce though as didn't think it would work, which it seems it doesn't!
No KFC for us this week while we're away - I couldn't fit the chicken into the little ice box in the caravan, along with the bacon, sausages etc! I got enough stuff in for about 3 meals plus breakfasts so not too bad for a pretty small space. That's why we're having quite a few tins and jars this week.

I decided I was low on Bolognese so put a batch in the SC. Good to make the most of the peppers on Aldi Super 6. 😁1 -
