    I was going to say the same. That looks like the tiniest dinner beth. I'm far too greedy to manage with that but if you don't feel hungry then that's fine. 🙂

    Well done for joining DIMW. If nothing else, it shows you're taking positive steps to make this work. 👏👏

    What was the zoom meeting like PIB? Do they follow the usual pattern and all the clapping? 🙂

    Chicken thighs were a big success for fake KFC. DH said he preferred them to the breast goujons so that's a definite change and mse so win/win. 😁

    No we don't do happy clappy 🤣🤣 i zoom every week :D nice to see people
    I think thighs are more juicy, i found the strips too dry, did you use boneless or with bones? i use bones, i did use boneless when dh had it, but i like a good chomp round the bone and cheaper 🤣🤣

    That icecream looks good enough to eat bubbs  :D. And yes maman, our meetings tend to be similar in format, with announcements and clapping, was nice to see familiar faces. Some new faces too, not sure if they were new or just from different days, didn’t like to ask. As I said before not sure if I would do the Zoom thing if I had to pay, not sure it’s worth the money, but happy to stay on as a target member for free  ;). Who knows if we’ll ever get back to our old groups, this will have to do for now  :open_mouth:.

    Made crustless quiches and a load of jacket potatoes, and been growing tomato, pepper and courgette plants. Just hope the weather settles down soon; today we had sun, rain and hailstones in Bucks!

    How was the ice cream bubbs?  Looks good.  Didn't try making mine last night as we decided to open a bottle of wine and I don't do puddings when I'm having a drink - just doesn't taste right, LOL!

    Was just doing my menu plan online and spotted that bean sprouts are indeed Speed foods, although when I just done it with a search they came up as Free!  Suppose my sprouted chickpeas should be Protein & Speed so would be great for a SP day :).

    Today's plan:

    B - fry up - bacon, egg, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, slice bread - P; S; F; 0.5 HEB
    L - carrot & lentil soup; slice bread - S; P; F; 0.5 HEB
    D - beef stew (from freezer); mash; cabbage, green beans - P; S; F

    HEA - milk
    HEB - bread
    Syns - none planned but who knows things might change!  If we have a pudding this evening I've got some jelly in the fridge so that would be 0.5 but if we have alcohol could be 5 or 15!

    Morning all :smiley:
    Beautiful morning, i put my hot white wash on last night as takes ages, glad i did,as it's ready to go straight out .

    Ice cream was lovely, because it's a bigger paddle whipped it up even more 😋😋 takes longer though than the other one but that's because it's got to get down to temp.
    I need to pop to the post office this morning as my niece will be 19 next week 😱 does not seem possible, but then it does seem posssible i have a nephew of 30!! Shame i can't see her but will see her after lockdown

    What make of ice cream maker did you get bubbs?  Glad it was lovely, would have been awful if it wasn't as nice as your old one.

    I've changed my bedding this morning and had it out on the line just before 9.  It's really nice out in the garden, quite warm and not too windy - don't think it's warm enough to sit out but it's nice just to see it like that!

    I know what you mean about kids growing up quickly.  Can't believe my grandson will be 22 in a few days time and my grand-daughter will be 22 in November!  Don't know where the time's gone.

    Its a buffalo make, if it wasn't as nice would have been going for the price 😂😂

    Yes they grow up so quick, i remember getting the message at work she had been born, she was the first for this sister , she went on to have 2 more girls, my other sister had 2 boys, and another 2 girls, me and my other sister 0 
    I was just messaging the niece whose birthday it is and asked if she was at work, she is, but has mon/tues/weds off , i said have a nice time but you cant go anywhere 😂 she no but i can have a drink , my answer was you p*** head 🤣🤣 she can't drink when she is at work as has to drive all the time
