What's on the menu tonight? Course 11

Fish cakes with tartare sauce and salad.

Pukka steak pie, chips, broccoli and mushroom. Nice change but have been very thirsty since so there must be a lot of salt in the pie.

Sweet raspberries, cherries and grapes with a pink grapefruit tonic water.

Marmite on toast with a fair amount of butter

Before I came to NZ I never heard of Marmite.
So when I had my first smell and taste of it, I nearly threw up, it was disgusting.
But over the years I actually started to like it.
Can't have too much of it though, just a little scrape over buttered toast will do.

I made a big pasta bake today with kumara, zucchini and lots of cheese

[Gabby]

We ordered far too much Chinese takeaway last night …. OH just finished copious amount of left overs …. so me, having an egg and prawn salad!

[Stooo]

A nice bit of topside with far too many yorkies, I always overdo it

[Avon Barksdale]

Lamb biriyani for dinner tonight with pickles, chutnies and poppadoms.

Can't wait.

[Junglejayne]

Roast chicken with potato, purple sprouting broccoli and a gorgeous gravy.

Sort of planning to lay off sugar (except natural) for lent so no pudding... I'll see how long I last.

I've been off sugar for a couple of years now... avid label reader too.
It can get tricky.
I also don't use artificial sweeteners.
I do use honey and dates and fruit and berries for natural sugar.

I do eat a lot of fruit which I won't be stopping but I found myself having quite a bit of honey on my porridge but I make my yogurt less sour now so don't really need that anymore.

I won't be faffing with labels, just cutting out sweet treats and not adding sugar to my drinks as that amounts to about 6tsp a day.
