Onwards & Downwards: Easter Egg Edition

[AB Editor]

Hello!

It's that time again, we're approaching that most holy of things: a bank holiday. But not any bank holiday, it's the one where Moses casts a plague of chocolate eggs on our supermarkets.

(Sorry, is that right?)

What would be a more appropriate way to celebrate easter for those of us not breaking chocolate eggs to make a chocolate fondant?

All the best,

Ed

I keep carrot and cucumber sticks in fridge for snack if I get the munchies...a wee creme fraiche dip if necessary....but I try not to eat between meals.

[murraymints]

no like carrots OG ? try making veg soup and freeze by the cup full...in a bag....only takes a couple of minutes zapping in microwave....no bread mind..just soup !

[Old_Geezer]

Don't like raw carrots (most/all raw veg actually). Can't stand cucumber, which, because it's so watery, risks leaving it's awful taste on everything.

Soup is probably fine, carrot & coriander is common enough; but I'm not going to even consider cucumber soup (Yuk !).

[murraymints]

a nice chunky veg soup..carrot, leeks, onion, anything lying around..a few lentils will thicken..or pots...very filling and not bad calorie wise...

[Old_Geezer]

Have made soup in the past; these days I usually buy the Amy's Kitchen tinned soups to have at lunch. Their 'Hearty' ones are particularly good: bit pricey though.

[murraymints]

best homemade OG..big pan water , blender if you want...much cheaper !

You're a person after my own likes murraymints. I also like shredded carrots with lemon juice or the mini carrots. I see the new carrots are in now too mmmm. Making your own veg soup is a good way to clean out your veg crisper.

Good morning all,

I don't know what happened hmmmm. What I tried to say was that I'm down a pound after the gigantic leap upwards two weeks ago so good on me.

[wendilla]

Well done xstitcher . I have stayed the same despite being good . ah well will plod on for next week .

[Old_Geezer]

Hi all.
Up yet another 0.2 lbs this week. :-(

[Cloverjo]

That's nothing, O_G. It could just be from a cup of tea.

[Old_Geezer]

That's it, no more tea !

[xstitcher]

Not so good morning all. Early awakening from the dawn chorus and a very bad reading on the scales so here I sit on the naughty step in the depths of misery.

[wendilla]

Sorry xstitcher not going to join you but will bring you a cuppa. I have stayed the same which is ok but still looking for a loss .

[xstitcher]

......and very welcome it will be Wendilla.
