Strength
grows in the moments when you think you can’t go on but you keep going anyway.
Woken by
a poorly mom this morning, let’s just say that was an interesting start to my
day! Change of plans, had to cancel massage, I don’t want to leave her alone
for long, poor love.
I’m just
giving Alfie a quick whizz round the block, enjoying my music on my phone, I
apologise to anyone who’s had to listen to me randomly singing as I walk past.
I’m aware I sing in a flat C my brother kept telling me when he stayed the
other week, I don’t care, it’s making me feel good. A quiet day ahead I think,
I’m going to try and see if I can get mom to play a game of scrabble with me, I
doubt she will but I can but try. I’ll cook me something nice for my dinner,
she’s nil by mouth apart from fluids for the foreseeable, so I’ll eat it in the
garden.
Anyway
I’m out of conversation after this morning’s start, so I’ll just say enjoy your
day, be thankful for what you have and for those you love. Life is precious and
we’re blessed to have one.
Actually I was asked for a simple white sauce recipe last
night so I may as well share it with all of you,
Simple white sauce
Total recipe 15SP, Serves 4 at 4SP or 3 at 5SP each
40g low fat spread (5SP)
40g plain flour (4SP)
450ml skimmed milk (6SP)
1 Bay leaf
Put all ingredients into a non-stick saucepan. The mixture won’t look great with lumps of
flour and low fat spread but it’ll be okay.
Place over a medium high heat and cook, stirring all the
time. As the sauce heats the flour and
low fat spread will blend to give a smooth sauce.
Continue stirring until the sauce thickens and comes to the
boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove the bay leaf before using in your
chosen recipe.
Great in a fish pie, or for lasagne sauce, add a bit of
cheese for a cheese sauce. You could add
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard, 25g grated parmesan (4SP) and 40g of half fat mature
cheese (3SP) for a delicious indulgent sauce. (total sauce 22SP)
