Good morning!
The penultimate day of my holiday and, while I'm having a great time, it will be nice to get back to my familiar kitchen again.
Yesterday was a bit of a stumble - we all have them now and again, don't we? Suffice it to say, the anticipation was better than the reality, as almost always happens where food is concerned. Oh, well, back to what I know I really like!
Yesterday's meals
Lunch was at Sutton Hoo and I dithered for a while. There were some very nice looking salads but we were a bit too early for the soup which turned out to b tomato and red pepper, one of my favourites. I had a child's cheese sandwich which was a pretty small affair but just right for how hungry I was feeling plus a rather large coffee (the smallest they did though).
We won't swell on dinner. I will try the jambalaya recipe when I get home at some point.
Today's plans
B: fruit
I'm really not feeling all that hungry right now so breakfast will be light.
SW: speed and free (if I have a banana)
L: tomato, red pepper and ham soup; fruit
I have half a can of chopped tomatoes left so will use this plus other bits to make some soup.
SW: this should be protein and speed
D: fish and chips, beer
My holiday treat for my last evening here. I have no idea of the syns for fish and chips and there is no way I am following the abominable SW advice of taking off the batter and just eating the fish!! What?????? You may as well just bake a bit of white fish and save the pennies.
It may be naughty but it won't be rubbish naughty - there's a difference!
SW: the beer is six syns, No idea of the other!
Exercise: Loads of sand and pebble walking - which is jolly hard work, I can tell you!
Summary:
unknown today but it's light on healthy extras
We all laughed our heads off in group when the Consultant cheerfully announced that one could have fish and chips if one committed that heinous crime. Actually - when I split a portion (huge!) of fish and chips with husband I worked out that it was around 15 Syns - of course the number of chips was relevant (I was stuffed, so decent)and the portion of fish that I ate was about 4-5 inches square. I also had some mushy peas - free. So probably one of the better treats, methinks! And so worth it. Enjoy your last day. x
ReplyDeleteSome of their work arounds are really good but some are just plain ridiculous and that one is definitely in the latter camp. The mushy peas is a good ides and they make their own mushy peas.
DeleteI have tomorrow as well as I'm leaving at around six, once any Friday rush hour has finished so the roads shouldn't be too bad. xx
It’s so good to be back to visit, I’ve missed reading your daily blogs, I hope all is well👍❤️
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! All is well, thanks, and I've had a lovely holiday. xx
