Our Official Slimming Club Thread - open to everyone

I’m just having leftovers for lunch. But last night for supper I had fresh tomatoes and mozzarella in whole wheat pita bread and tomato bisque. I needed something a little healthier after eating toxins for lunch, lol.

PS - my apologies for complaining about everything. It’s just not been a good month and I needed to blow off a little steam.

That’s ok Linda, i’m a good listener, you carry on complaining, I don’t mind.

I appreciate that.

Hi Linda,

Am having Fish & Chips today, we are going to the Seaside for the day, don’t know where the sun has gone though.

I haven’t had good fish & chips in a long time. There’s a place not far from where I work that has the absolute best fish & chips, as well as other fried seafood. The fish is thick and super flaky and moist on the inside, while crunchy and heavenly on the outside. Chips are chips, to me, anyway, so pretty much anyone can do that. The fish is the important thing. And their fish is amazing. It’s a tiny little place and there’s only one (they’re not a chain) but they’ve been in business for many many years.

You can also get stuff like fried oysters (more heavenly stuff) fried clams, fried shrimp, fried smelts, fried scallops and anything on their menu, including the fish, you can ask for poached instead of fried, if that’s what you prefer.

Hi Linda,

The fish was really nice and freshly cooked in front of us.

I don’t like Oysters, Clams etc. Love Scampi, Squid, Cockles & Crab.

I’m a seafood fanatic :slight_smile:

Two weeks ago we went out for our anniversary to a highly recommended restaurant and I gorged on prawns, crabs, mussels, salmon and calamari

Was lovely :slight_smile:

Ohhhhhhh my goodness, that sounds heavenly. I love ALL that stuff.

Todays its a normal roast dinner.

Chicken sliced, R. Potato, Fine Beans, Carrots and Y. Pudding, Gravy.

Chicken Salad today.

I had chicken salad yesterday for lunch. Made with red grapes and diced apples. It was really good.

Tonight for dinner I’m having shrimp, pineapple and avocado in small tortillas.

Today its:

Marinated Pork Strips, R. Potato, Greens, Swede & Gravy.

I was bad today. Had Chinese for lunch.

Hehehehe

I had Chinese today as well :smiley:

In my defence, all I had eaten since Friday was a slice of toast on Saturday and a sausage in a bap on Sunday so today I was in dire need of carbs and Chinese hit the spot

Hit the spot for me too. But I’m doing a little better for dinner. Having bean soup and a wrap with tomatoes, onion and a little bit of mayo.

I went and had Fish n Chips today.

I’m having a favorite comfort food of mine today - deep-fried chicken livers with mashed potatoes and panko-coated zucchini slices. This will definitely be my biggest meal of the day.

That sounds lovely, pray share how to cook that

I’ve salmon fish cakes , coleslaw and potato salad and salad

I loooooooove salmon cakes. One of my favorite things.

Cooking the chicken livers is easy. I simply dredge them into seasoned flour, then into beaten egg, then back into the flour and then into the oil and I fry them until they’re crispy and crunchy on the outside, but well done on the inside. Some people like their livers still a little pink, but I don’t. I love rare steak, but I think things like chicken livers should be fully cooked.

The zucchini (courgette) I cut into slices at desired thickness. Then I dip the slices into beaten egg, then into bread crumbs (today I used panko) and then pan-fry in a small amount of oil until they’re golden. You can use any type of bread crumbs you wish. Fried zucchini is one of my favorite summertime treats.
