OV Slimming Club Part 3!

[Sally D]

Well done Fiona[clap][clap]

Plenty of walking for me today, car has a leak in one of the power steering pipes and I have lost all the fluid[msnmad].

Just back from walking the dog and have to work to and from work today[sporty][sporty], unless the garage can fit me in today and I will drop it off on the way.

Julie I wish my daughter would save for a car, she has a little job and over the summer hols worked loads, but spends her money as fast as she gets it. She has so many clothes and spends loads going out, keeps saying she wants to learn to drive but is not doing anything about it. It would save me being a taxi like last night, had to go and pick her up at 11.30pm[msnmad]

Have a good day all.

[mizzy]

good morning everyone

Fiona congrats on the loss, that's great news[clap][clap][clap]

Sally, hope car gets sorted without too much £££££££[msnsad]

hi fi bar(1 x hb)

lots of water

weigh in for me tonight so fingers crossed.

[mizzy]

good luck with the weigh in Janny

can i ask how you made the teriyaki sauce, i use a jar from asda which is 2.5syns per 1/3rd but if you can make it for free i wouldn't mind knowing how[msnsmile]

Mizzy

[janny]

no problem it is
2fl oz soy sauce
2fl oz worcester sauce
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 level tablespons artifical sweetener
2 crushed garlic cloves

put in pan and heat for 2 mins
then add cooked chicken cut into slices with spring onion and red pepper thinly sliced and heat for

4-5 mins until sauce is thickened .
I found it didn't make that much sauce so I assume you can increase the ingredients as they are free.

Well done Fiona [clap]

Got to confess I have been snacking on either eat natural nut bars or some ginger flavoured oat biscuits - how naughty are they?

Julie - I was going to say you have reached the same point as me, but that's not quite true because you are so [angel] and I am a bit of a [}] so I deserve to be stuck.
I am sure you will reach your goal - soon [grouphug]

[mizzy]

thanks Janny

Julieanne you a little [}] well i would never have guessed but honestly come off it you fibber you can be good when you want to be

i've been looking through my old sw mags and came across this recipe which i've made before and it's yummy[msntongue]

Rustic Bean & Pasta Soup (syn free on green)

2 onions
2 garlic cloves
3 celery sticks
2 carrots
fry light
400gm can mixed beans
400gm can chopped tomatoes
1 & 1/2 pts chicken stock made with chicken bovril
2oz dried soup pasta
4 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
salt and pepper to taste

prepare the soup ingredients, finely chop the onions, crush the garlic, cut celery into 1cm lengths, dice the carrots, drain and rinse the mixed beans

heat a lge pan sprayed with fry light, add the onions, garlic, celery, carrots, tomatoes and stock
bring to the boil then reduce the heat to simmer for 15-20mins
stir in the pasta and cook for a further 8-10mins or until pasta just tender, add the beans and heat through
stir in the parsley and season to taste

the magazine says you can eat it hot or cold and it tastes even better after a few days in the fridge
