hello @Shaz51 @soul @Former-Member
I have always eaten healthy style meals purely because of what I like.
I am doing the self-care because I care about the people here also I have noticed that i am bingeing sweet foods at night of late.
so am cutting back. i love chocolate ...also not good for me re caffeine. I only need to glance at an extra black coffee and i am awake all night.
soul...... favourite lindt chocolate ball is the dark chocolate one i think from memory they were in dark brown foil?? they went first laugh so not 100percent sure on that. the chocolates have actually been in the fridge since christmas. we received quite a few boxes. showing our age laugh!!! what else can we buy parents???
what about yourself soul? are you a chocolate binger? is that a word? i dont think so ... i think that you get my drift
domino vegetarian thin crust pizza ....hmmm still does not cut it with me... miss fussypot here - now seafood marinara or smoked salmon or vegetarian mushrooms capsicums kalamata olives feta cheese spanish onion hmm what have i missed out.
shaz
you had a carrot today i hope not just one carrot all day!
yes water so important, on medication, exercising, warm weather etc etc
darcy... how are you managing?

@Former-Member - Lindt chocolate balls - dark chocolate is the blue wrapper, plain is red, hazelnut is brown, white chocolatier is gold foil. So I'm told, not that I'd know 😆
Theres a coconut one that's in a turquoise blue wrapper that's delicious - again I have this on good advice.

good morning @Shaz51 @soul @Former-Member
well salmon fish cakes, vegetables and yoghurt dessert ... 10/10 gold star
frozen tandoori pizza, thai salad, frozen blueberries... need to confer with Soul about the pizza.. the thai salad loving that and the frozen blueberries. ...i think 10/10 originality and thai salad did it for me
Soul...no mention of your meal???? of course the precision of knowing which chocolate lindt ball is wrapped in which foil, you certainly have a good memory
yes the turquoise one tried one of those in hospital would you believe, a fellow patient was handing them out
our meal....husband cooked so originality-not there...... italian sausages - far too rich...baked beans and chips (italian mixed with english).. 10/10 because he cooked the meal.. did he clean up? ..no however nice not to have to cook
oh one chocolate lindt ball - white chocolate - least favoured..... last one.
husband came home with 2 bars of dark chocolate with roasted almonds....help

very healthy sounds interesting turkey mince meat balls. what do you put in them? are they cooked in a tomato sauce or fried?
