Anyone fancy a Fakeaway?

A fresh start today and what better than to begin by flicking through a new cook book? I am amazed at the recipes in the Fakeaway book, many of which look just like the 'real' thing, but I bet mine won't look the same! I realised whilst browsing that I haven't been planning out my week for a little while, I have been kind of making it up as I go along. What I need to do is prepare a week of menus before my weekly shop and then do my best to stick to it. So that's my plan for tomorrow, together with putting all my SW cook books on my new bookshelf. I am pleased about that but it will involve the chaos of sorting the bookcase they are currently shelved on. Nothing is ever simple!

Being at home means I can have a 'proper' breakfast - well a boiled egg at least! I do love them and never get bored. Since I discovered the Heston Blumenthal method of boiling an egg I am virtually guaranteed a perfectly soft one every time. Mmmmmmm! I also had a big bowl of super speed strawberries today:

For some reason I got so involved in things during the day that lunch completely slipped my mind. I received a copy of my mate's new book in the post (The Gentleman Tramp by Toby Glover), and spent ages flicking through it and generally appreciating it. I so love the feel of new books, and a dedication inside from the author is the icing on the cake! Anyway, lunch was very late and consisted of leftovers from the night before last. Yummy none the less! A banana to follow teamed up with a Muller mango Greek yoghurt (half a syn).

Dinner was Thai Green curry and egg fried rice from Fakeaway. Both were a great success! I can't wait to try some more recipes. I bought prawns to give the Thai fish cakes a go soon and also the prawn curry. Maybe the sag aloo will be next thought!!!! During the evening I had a big bowl of rhubarb with natural yoghurt. (One of my favourite deserts). I did succumb to some fudge later on. Well, it was calling to me from the fridge! I have counted the syns though - 5 for two squares.

All in all not a bad day. 13 syns though - butter (2), bread pudding (4), mango yoghurt (0.5), curry (1.5), fudge (5). Might have to watch that they don't creep up!
