    Now I have to ask ... what do "beans" mean, please? Is this baked beans, string beans, French beans, kidney beans or perhaps even broad beans?

    Oh dear. Ordered a pizza as well.

    In fairness i had a minor panic attack earlier and legs have gone, so techincally i need this pizza as a 'brave girl' reward :D

    The grown up alternative to a gold star :D

    Its a jolly good pizza though, totally worth the calories. Cheesy, tomatoey goodness with spicy pork, pepperoni, steaky bits, meatballs all drenched in sweet, smokey bbq sauce!

    Oh, Pro, would have loved the cheese on toast and red wine ... not Rioja I might add, can't stand the stuff ... Portuguese red is much "softer".

    Oh, then to be followed by lasagna and jacket potates ... that's THREE meals ... all look lovely and delicious and hopefully you've put a bit of energy on to go slave away tomorrow in the cold. [​IMG]

    Do you make your own pizza dough and own topping?

    Nice choice of wine.

    Used to enjoy red but now hardly any drink and if so prefer a nice chardonay.

    Its my own cooking, Im very keen on my food.

    The vegtable mix is courgete, red cabadge, leek, onion, celery, red kiddney bean and red peper.

    Every now and then I stew it up in a big le creuset pan and freze it down as I dont have the time to prepare from scratch each evening. I do the same for the white sauce mix (sunflower oil and flower) and keep a load of it in a screw top container this also saves time.

    All I have to then do is defrost a bag, make up the white sauce, layer it up with pasta and cook it 20 mins to make up then 45 mins at 200 degrees and 30 mins fan and no heat.

    The bread is also home made.

    I use the same vegtable mix minus the kiddney beans and with more red peper and celery on a pizza.

    Whiely,the advantadge to my job is I can eat whatever I like within reason as I burn so many calories with my work.

    Also true! Generally there is not as much reward as a receptionist!

    I get fed cake and yummies because the kitchen is right behind me and they love me :D But its sad to decline whenever they say 'Sarah i made your favourite just for yooou!'

    Think i'll have to bring up Weight watchers over and over to remind them, then temptation never strays my path!
