2nd April 2018
Never give up because great things take time.
Can I just start by saying my turkey roast yesterday was the
highlight of my weekend, actually yesterday up till about 7 was just about one
of the best days this year, mom was great, we laughed like we used to before
Alzheimer’s got in the way on a day to day basis. Yeah April 1st, Easter Sunday 2018
will stay in my memories as a really, good day where nothing exceptional
happened except a delicious meal and the love and laughter between me and my
mom.
I love that my bestie is in the new WW advert, she looks
amazing and had such a wonderful time making it too. https://www.facebook.com/weightwatchersuk/videos/1639309089438036/UzpfSTU5NTczMDg2MToxMDE1NTkwOTg1NjI5NTg2Mg/

Watchers too, I’d like it noted, I knew her before she was famous :)

it doesn’t take long to upload a then and now photo, you don’t have to be at
your final destination either, you could be anywhere along your journey.
Anyway back to food, my dinner really was good, I need to
cook more roast dinners, I love veggies and gravy, I really do. I cooked my turkey crown upside down then
flipped it for the last half hour and put bacon on it, the roasters were
perfection on a plate and what made it even more delicious was watching mom eat
proper food and enjoy it, I love to see my food appreciated, especially by my
mom. There’s enough for dinner today, I
plated up two extra dinners, then there’s turkey left over for sandwiches
and/or curry, I’ve not decided what to do with the leftovers.
I bought the Co-op meal deal yesterday too, £5 for 2 large
fish, packet of fish dippers (mom will like them), chips, peas and crème egg
ice-cream, the fish along should have been £3 odd, we had some of the ice cream
as our pudding instead of a chocolate egg, it’s lush. There’s a few meals in that lot for a fiver,
all helping towards my savings. I’ll still
be working my way through the other stuff in the cupboards over this month.
My dinner yesterday reminded me how delicious vegetables
are, roasted sweet potatoes, broccoli, sprouts, cabbage, carrots, onions, all
of them are just so tasty, made me want to get back to cooking proper meals and
get some fresh stuff in to go with all that tinned stuff in the cupboard and
frozen fish in the freezer. Maybe a week
on No Count is called for, then I can enjoy more of those potatoes or probably
more sensible for me to stick with Flex and enjoy normal portions of the
potatoes with the other stuff!
Now to decide what to do with the Turkey, frittata, turkey
pot pie, grilled sandwich, curry, decisions, decisions. Maybe Turkey Chow Mein
or bubble and squeak.
This is why I’ll never be skinny, food is just too
good. I need to stop looking for recipe
ideas for turkey and go make my mom another cuppa.
Enjoy your first Bank Holiday Monday, it’s raining here in
true bank holiday style!
