All posts by 12herrings. March 29, 2011. I have several posts almost ready, just not had the time to finish them off! Good news: Still losing weight. Bad news: Cooking not as varied as I’d like. The Goose Was Cooked. March 13, 2011. Ok, I’ve been bad. Its been far too long since I have written here. Despite early success and enthusiasm, I have had a block on actually writing about my cooking. I have been cooking new things and, in general, avoiding takeaways. The goose was 5.5kg in weight, and I roas...

Weigh in | Alexander's Blog
https://12herrings.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/weigh-in
January 3, 2011. Ok, so the other reason that I’m trying to cook better food is that I’m overweight. Latest: 14 stone 8 pounds. This is the heaviest I’ve ever been, and, I have to say, it shows. I’m heavy boned, so I think my ideal weight is just under 13 stone, but this does mean that I’m two stone overweight. This is not good. Aim for the year: 1 lb loss per month, sustained. Nice food, small portions! Roasted Butternut Squash and Garlic Soup. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

The Goose Was Cooked. March 13, 2011. Ok, I’ve been bad. Its been far too long since I have written here. Despite early success and enthusiasm, I have had a block on actually writing about my cooking. I have been cooking new things and, in general, avoiding takeaways. Well, only when I hit my target. Another stone to go…. Accompanying this, I kept things simple, with kale, fried leeks and roast potatoes (in goose fat). A squeeze of lemon juice over the kale just before serving improves this underused...

https://12herrings.wordpress.com/2011/01/07/braised-pork-with-apples-and-cider
Braised Pork with apples and cider. January 7, 2011. After a short break in blogging, and I never did get round to making the bolognese, I’m back! Woo) So quick summary. Last night ended up being pork Thai curry, as I was short on time, and the night before I cooked Lamb Tika with rice, and my own Tika sauce. So, tonight, I tried making up a recipe. Sage (fresh chopped, or dried). Preheat the oven to 130 C. Slice the onion and apple, and place them on the bottom of a small oven proof dish. Food and Code ...

First Supper | Alexander's Blog
https://12herrings.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/first-supper
January 3, 2011. Quick post about supper: I had a mad plan to have just a glass of wine and some biscuits for supper. Not healthy, but low calorie. This was obviously not sustainable! Luckily, I had a small pot of (home made) beef red Thai curry in the freezer. 2 oz of rice each, and the curry bulked out with some broccoli and mushrooms that needed using, have left us not feeling empty, at least. That was the last pot, so I need to make some more. One thought on “First Supper”. January 3, 2011 at 11:29 pm.
