Change the way you look at things and the things
you look at change. Wayne W. Dyer
Well my boozy night with my bestie went well; we had a 14pp
tea courtesy of waitrose – butterflied pork leg with a honey-roasted parsnip
crust and sage butter, served with potato rosti, mellow & creamy cabbage
& bacon, roast courgette and pepper. Now doesn’t that sound the business, if I’d
just said we had pork, potato and veggies you wouldn’t have been so impressed
would you and this is how they get you to buy the nice foods by describing them
in such ways on packaging and menu’s in restaurants! Don’t
be fooled, the most important place to look on food packaging is the nutritional
label, I also look at ingredients and price but that’s your choice. The meal worked out at a tenner for 3 of us
which I didn’t think was bad and it was delicious. I consumed a little more alcohol than planned
but when my bestie wakes I will find out how much of that bottle I drank and
tot up my tracker, at the moment it’s looking like more than 50 and less than
60pp which ain’t bad really, we did munch on carrot sticks & a 2pp tub of
hummous after drinking – you’ve got to be impressed with that!
I’m surprisingly fresh to say I drank Prosecco and vodka and
I plan to stay on track all over Easter, I’ve not bought loads of booze so once
my couple of bottles of red have gone there will be no more until I shop again
next weekend, if it’s not in the house, I can’t overindulge. My kitchen freezer is full of frozen
vegetables and a couple of quality ready meals, and my fridge is also full of
good healthy stuff too so no excuses this week at all. I was really surprised at how good on
ProPoints some of the meals were in Waitrose and yes I know it’s not the cheapest
shop in the world but by buying their ready meals I actually haven’t spent as much
as I would in Sainsbury’s buying all the ingredients to cook, it helps that
there’s two of us too. Their Indian meal
deal was £10 for two mains, 1 rice and two sides, we will eat the Aloo Gobi sides
as another main, the Lamb rogan josh was 12pp for the tray and the rice was 7pp
for half. I bought some fresh stuffed
ravioli which was on offer 2 for £4; they work out at 5 & 6pp for half the
packet, that’s really good!
So I won’t have to rush to cook which means I’m going to
have plenty of time to walk Alfie and I also plan on doing some more
scrapbooking this weekend to keep me occupied, and I may finish my book which
is a silly chick thing but I need to finish it now because I have one that’s
being realised next week that I want to start.
Short one today as there’s
actually not much in my head this morning, I’m sat here daydreaming so I shall
go walk Alfie instead.
Enjoy Easter remember to Eat Gorgeous xx
