Ooooo now you're talking eggyg - I havent eaten yet this evening & my mouth is drooling 😛 that sounds wonderfully tasty tasty - heres my order for your chicken pie & can't wait for you to send one to me by 1st class mail. Thank you sooo much for your delicious recipe eggy - MORE PLEASE :D😛:D xxx
One coming up WL, got loads of filo left as you get loads of sheets and don't need many. Going to experiment with making a crustless quiche tomorrow. Will let you know how I get on.
 
Good to hear Mr. Eggy is doing well...must be all that great grub! It's tea in our house too and I also love to make authentic curries and Moroccan tagines. Lamb Madras is my hubbie's absolute favourite though! 😛
Oh I had better adopt him too! 🙄
 
Yes please do! :D He'll bring his own keema naans!
I love a keema naan. Never tried to make a naan, have made chapattis, slightly misshapen but to tell the truth Asda'a own are the best of all I have tried, they puff up great, and they are only about 90p for 8.
 
So so simple to make, I really miss pastry more than cake and sweets. I was a sausage roll addict back in the day, sometimes I could still kill for a Greggs pasty! Of course I never indulge!😉
eggy...stop trying to evade responsibility...Greggs sausage rolls indeed...it's only 05:15...but...still thinking about the chicken pie.:D:D:D.
 
Of course Amigo, probably wouldn't notice an extra one, when I have the hordes round for tea ( dinner to you southerners) we number 12! Just had my world famous lamb Madras tonight, I always make enough to freeze, which was great today because been out most of the day with Mr Eggy, he is getting on great, had a lovely walk at the seaside so nice and flat.
Good to hear that eggy...sounds like a perfect day...ooh... I feel a song coming on🙂.

Oh please do eggyg - I'm looking forward to hearing if your experiment was successful😛 if it is - which I'm sure it will - then will have a stab at it myself - i lurve quiche:D thanks x
 
Hi WL. I've discovered the perfect biscuit. Nairn's Biscuit Breaks. They're gluten free thin elongated biccies made with oats and currants. 47 cals per biccie, and because the oats slow down absorption, that make absolutely no difference to my BG. Very tasty, too. Don't know if you can get them in England, but worth digging out🙂
 
The 24/7 has in stock Birds Eye frozen steam fresh mixed vegetables - 4 bags in a pack - are cooked in the bag (no need to defrost) for 4 minutes in the dreaded (@eggyg)Microwave! They're tasty and better than fresh IMO - and the added bonus is: no pans or dishes to wash up afterwards🙂 Try them. Asda do their own but I don't think they match B/E.

Bought the Carte d'or 70% chocolate ice cream yesterday in Asda. Ab-so-bloody-lutly gorgeous! Nearly let the grandchildren have some after their tea tonight but changed my mind, they had fruit! What a terrible grandma I am! ( I hadn't told them I had it mind). Oh and by the way, the crustless quiche hasn't materialised yet, not had a minute, don't know how I ever managed to go to work! Will definitely do it this week, think I have a few spare minutes on Tuesday! 😉

How many can you eat with no difference? I love them but have left them alone as imagined they would raise my BS and would find it hard to stop at one.

Sausage rolls and minced beef pasties were two of my guilty pleasures as too was tiramisu - which I still buy occasionally🙄

Two with a cup of tea. Try it. We're all different, but the oats should work for anyone🙂

I just knew you couldn't resist it eggyg :D😛 Keep the tub hidden at the back of a shelf of your freezer away from prying eyes - especially little ones!🙄
 
I only like Franks' ice cream now, it's lovely, cool and clean tasting, I search for it and will be at a loss when it's all gone as they're not allowed to get more in. :( It's scrummy with strawberries. We should def stock it here. 😉

Asda stock it here Ditto - is there an Asda store near you - if so, check on line to see if they have any in stock - if they have then you could stock pile a few tubs if your freezer is accommodating. Dont forget to take freezer cool bags with you when and if you go - alternatively and better still, ask Asda to deliver - they have a very good delivery service here x
 
Have you tried these Cumberland Pork Sausages ~ Asda's own Extra Special brand ~ tasty🙂
83% pork meat ~ 4.1g carbs per 100g of which 1.8g sugars ~ 17g Protein.

Well, finally made the crustless quiche, we had friends coming for lunch yesterday so decided to do it. When I usually make a quiche I add pancetta and top with tomatoes. One friend doesn't eat meat and the other hates tomatoes! So I made a broccoli and cheese one. Ready made, and rolled out thinly, shortcrust pastry, baked blind in a square tin.....that is quite important as you will see later. Fried off some finely chopped onions added to base of pastry case, added part cooked broccoli florets, quite small pieces, lots of cheddar, then added egg mix which also had loads of cheese in. Season obs. Cooked for however long you think, depending on size, mine was quite big, I used 10 eggs! When you take it out, remove all the excess pastry from the edges whilst it is still hot, then cool. When cool, tip onto board, slice all the edges off, so all you have left is a lovely quiche with just a thin layer of pastry on the bottom. It was delicious, did all four of us for lunch with a salad and enough left for tonight for me and Mr Eggy, going to have it with new potatoes and salad. Orders taken for whatever filling you fancy. 🙂
