 Morning, everyone.
After a not very good or healthy weekend, I was most relieved that yesterday was spent back on plan again.  I'm just hoping for a maintain in Thursday now.

Yesterday's photos.

Why does the egg yolk never stay in the middle?    Never mind, it was absolutely delicious!  Goodk, oldfashioned egg on toast, taking me back to childhood with eggs from the local 'egg farm'.

Squashy lamb and lettuce sandwiches.  The drizzle of mint sauce finished them off beautifully.

Lamb tagine.  This was very ad hoc but it was absolutely delicious and this is what I did.

I spray fried half a red onion, sliced, until softening before adding half a red pepper (from a jar, in brine), two mushrooms, both sliced and some diced sweet potato from the freezer.  After about five minutes I added the rest of the leftover lamb and 50g soft dried apricots (one healthy extra B or six syns).

I stirred in two good tsps ras el hanout spice mix (one syn) and a squeeze of garlic puree and cooked it out for a minute or so.  Then I added some passata (made from garden tomatoes) and the stock that came off the lamb when it was roasting (I removed all the solidified fat), brought it up to a gentle simmer, covered the pan and let it gently mellow for about an hour before tasting, seasoning and adding some frozen peas.  That was pretty much it and wow!

It made two portions so that's lunch tomorrow sorted out.

Today's plans are:

B:  a cooked breakfast - bacon, egg, tomatoes, mushrooms, fried bread

I 'fry' the bread by spraying one side with fry light and crisping up in the pan.

SW:  half a healthy extra B for the bread

L:  leftover lamb tagine

A good portion of the lamb and there was also a small amount of couscous.

SW:  half a healthy extra B for dried apricots, half a syn for the ras el hanout spice mix

D:  chilli con carne, rice, green veg; yogurt/kvarg

The chilli is from the freezer and the rest will be cooked fresh.

SW:  one healthy extra A for 30g grated cheese, half a syn for the chilli and half a syn for dessert

Body Magic:  maybe a walk, weather permitting

Summary:  one healthy extra A and one B plus one and a half syns
