Journal: 25th & 26th - Kate.

[Kate Dicey]

Blew it *both* days! Rats!

Friday:

Breakfast:
Wholemeal bread and pineapple preserve sandwich (no marge/butter): 4 points
Apple: 0.5 points

Lunch:
Cold meat sandwich: 4 points
Salad: 0 points
Yoghurt: 2 points

Dinner:
2 low fat saussages: 3 points
Low fat chips: 3 points
Salad: 0 points
Mayo: 0.5 points
WW snack bar: 1.5 points

Nibbles:
Crisps (chips): 3 points (weighed and calculated)
Snack bar: 1.5 points

Total consumed: 25.5 points
Exercise: 0 (due to excessive sewing!)
Result: 3.5 point deficit! :( Those crisps were just toooooo nice!
Not often I got for them, but when DH drags home hand crafted ones...

Saturday:
Breakfast:
3 Shredded wheat and milk: 4 points

Lunch:
Sandwiches: 7 pints
Tomato: 0 points

Dinner (we had guests and I *Cooked* - boy did I cook!)
Home made garlic & coriander naan bread: 2.5 points
Brown rice: 2 points
Chicken Balti: 4 points
Salad: 0 points
Mango kulfi: 3.5 points (I really should *not* have had seconds, but it
was so nice!)
2 glasses of wine: 4 points

Nibbles: none! Didn't have room!

Total consumed: 27 points! YIKES!
Exercise: Mad housework (several runs up and down the stairs with things
like arm loads of fabric, 3 dressmaker's dummies, and piles of books,
floor washing, a trip or three to the loft...) 2 points.
Result: 3 point deficit!

Ooer! Must try harder! Oh, well, more mad housework tomorrow as I
clear up and put away all the stuff I just dumped in the sewing room
today, and then back to walking and swimming on Monday. I shall try to
fit in an extra swim during the week if I get the time, but sewing
pressure is building. Tomorrow's menu contains steak and salad, and I
shall try to make some zero point soup for lunch.

Care to invite us next time you cook ? You had me drooling over the menu...
esp. the mango kulfi. Only 3.5 points for 2 servings ? Could I have the
recipe?

It was one and a bit rather than two whole servings. Dead simple to make:

400ml/14 fl oz skimmed milk
397 g can of condensed milk
1 ripe mango

Pour the skimmed milk and condensed milk into a sturdy milk pan and
bring to the boil: simmer gently for 10-12 minutes

Peel and chop the mango, and whizz to a puree with either a hand held
wand blender (I use the Bamix) or in a food processor.

Add the warm milk mixture and whizz until as smooth as possible. Chill
in the fridge.

Pour into individual moulds, or do as I did and pour into a plastic ring
mould. Freeze for several hours.

Makes 8 generous portions at 2.5 points per portion.

The mango bulks the kulfi up quite a bit, but you can make a lesser
volume at 2 points per portion if you flavour it with mint, or ground
cardamom - half a teaspoon of mint flavouring or quarter of a teaspoon
of ground cardamom are probably enough.

Hi, Kate, You were very close with your points. I think you might be eating
healthier with Weight Watchers than you would have before.

Oh, that's a given! AND better quantities - as in a lot less! At least
I weighed out a 50g portion of the crisps and stuck at that rather than
gobbling the whole 150g bag! Today was better... in one way!

Thanks Kate, sounds delicious. I like the idea of adding ground cardamom.

The recipe came from a WW cookbook, and son James likes it so much I
*HAVE* to make it again! It would also make good lollipops...

Thanks for the recipe too! I might make it when we have the chicken
tikka masala leftovers tomorrow. ;) I've got lots of mango, they were
on sale 5 for $1 last week (the small ones).
