Wednesday evening, 20-11-24, a TV programme and seven signs

Evening, everyone.

I just want to spotlight a TV programme that is airing next Monday, BBC2 at 8:00pm.
It is entitled 'Irresistible:  Why We Can't Stop Eating' and is presented by Dr Chris van Tulleken, he of 'Ultra Processed People' fame.

Here's a link to some info on the programme which will also be on iPlayer plus a Q & A with Dr Chris.

I will be watching it, that's for sure.
Today's meals:

The usual breakfast.
One syn for mixed seeds
Soup for lunch.  I added some mixed seeds and drizzled over a bit of evoo.

One and a half syns for the seeds and one syn for the evoo.
I had forgotten how easy and how tasty Jack Monroe's carrot, bean and cumin burgers are.  I split and toasted an English muffin, spread over some onion chutney, added the cooked burgers and topped them with a bit of cheese and half a mini tomato.

One healthy extra A, one healthy extra B, one and a half syns for the chutney, two syns for flour in the burgers and two syns for evoo for cooking plus two syns in the dressing.
I nearly forgot - three syns for a custard cream at Knit and Natter.

Summary:
one healthy extra A
one healthy extra B
thirteen syns - ooops
Tomorrow's meal plans:

B:  fruit, yogurt and mixed seeds

L:  hm soup - soup season has really started now, hasn't it?

D:  sardine arrabbiata, salad; fruit

Exercise:  SET class online
The Extra Bit:

Lindsey posted this yesterday on Facebook.  It is good.

    1. Hi, Rackel - how absolutely lovely to hear from you again!
      Yes, I changed the name about three months ago although the URL is the same.
      They are very odd. Very effective too, especially if you don't soak them enough beforehand. lol

      Hope you enjoy the read back. xx

  2. I use chia seeds as a thickener in all manor of things. Just a teaspoon can really make a difference
