    Hey Ajax, where does butter come into the equation?

    ....for the pan. I've been reading Delia, dontcha know? :D

    Check your PM in a couple of mins. EDIT : oooh I should add, while you're here..... I did your Moroccan stew again this weekend. Fan-blinking-tastic. Had to swap the squash for chick peas though and take the hit of the 5 points.

    Well done victory on the result you wanted!!!

    Oh great - really please you love it - it is delicious: we're having it tonight with quorn balls so a very low syn meal will off set the dozen or so pancakes :D .
    Yeah, delia's right, they are best cooked in butter - the frylight will be having a holiday tonight.
    I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once

    ......yup, it's either a counting points night or it's not - and if it's not, then it's all in :)

    Congrats Marion! :T
    Raph, you're on a 'disiplined' roll:T .

    I really couldn't face cooking breakfast this morn, didn't want toast, couldn't be bothered with eggs. So instead I had half a melon with some natural yogurt drizzled on top, and a dragon fruit.:A

    I will not be having pancakes today either. I don't like them sick3qx.gif

    How about a banana and 1 chocolate frog - combination is really sweet and fels like a treat. Honest. I don't know the relative calorific val of the others.
    Just off to stare longingly at my pancake batter and fondle the butter :rotfl:

    Does it have to be sweet popcorn? I was reading in a WW book the other day that a small tub of salted popcorn is fairly low points - trouble is, you then then have the salt :rolleyes:

    No tiny choc bar there like a Freddo, just to give you the sense of being rebellious and the choccy taste?

    Well done Marion and Ajax on the fab losses, and to Victory for STS :T Go peeps!:j BB, a pound is nothing, and well within the range of your target weight, so go you too! :D
    As for pancakes, not having them? What a ridiculous idea :D I love'em, love 'em, love' em and will of course be stuffing my face with them, tee hee! It's sugar and currants for me, a childhood thing, currants thrown into the batter as it cooks and then sugar sprinkled on once they're rolled. Now I'm all grown up and sophisticated, I like to have lemon on them too ;) Oh man, I want to start making them NOW!! As for Ajax's quote, I DON'T GET IT EITHER AND I'M GOING TO BE PROUD OF MY STUPIDITY :rotfl:Please explain won't you Ajax?
    Oh, I'm confused by the recipe - my mum's is same as BB's except only one egg... what do I do, one egg or two??:confused:
