does anyone else ever cook a meal then really dont fancy it ?  i made a beef stew this morning, slow cooked it and then just didnt want it 
so into the freezer its gone, gonna have a take out  kerrie

[Joyce]

Yes been there. Annoying isn't it. But at at least you have frozen it for another time. 

[Limpy]

Know exactly what you mean, I thought I was the only one who wasn't totally convinced by slow cooked beef. There's one lurking in the bottom of my freezer.

However, slow cooked chicken thighs do work, they always get eaten.

[kerrieann]

true we can have it later in the week,  save me cooking, its quite cold here and i really fancied it but not now,strange
other half just shakes his head 

[kerrieann]

yes limpy, i do a curry with skinned a and boned chicken thighs, and it just melts in the mouth 

[Limpy]

Is that a cooked from scratch one?
I've not done slow cooked curries, suspect I may need to resort to a can or jar for sauce........

[kerrieann]

i use a recipe off here page 16 on the mm recipe exchange and if i dont have time the only jar we like (and we have tried alot ) is the homepride, not the tinned one but the jar, its quite creamy and pretty spicy, we love it
i dont even know if you are meant to put it in a slow cooker but i do and its lovely  kerrie

[Limpy]

Thanks Kerrie.
I used to use the homepride tinned red wine sauce and that used to work well in a slow cooker.
Will give the homepride curry sauce in a jar a try. Of course, will also try mm recipe exchange one, at some time

[kerrieann]

the recipe is lovely, but sometimes if a jar is as nice and we both like it 

[CLKD]

Yep.  That's how anorexia 'works' on me 

[kerrieann]

seem to be going through a phase of it just now, really fancy something, then dont want it 

[CLKD]

Cook small, freezable portions ……… also toast can ease symptoms - a couple of rounds dry or with a spread to eat before you are hungry!

When I worked in catering I was stick thin. After having spent hours being surrounded by food I just could not eat much as I just wasn't hungry. I think I absorbed calories through my pores 
My diet was rubbish to be honest.

Now the longer I spend making a meal the less hungry I become, therefore we normally have stuff that tastes good but does not take hours to make as by the time it's ready I'm just not hungry.

I'm inclined to be an eat to live type person and not a live to eat.

I used to eat 'just' enough to keep me up-right ….. when I look back at the 'photos of me wearing very little  …….

If I could swallow a tablet that gave me all day energy and another to swallow at 8.00 p.m. to give me all night sleep

honey b, that strikes a cord with me, it seems the longer the prep and cooking of a meal the more i have gone off the idea when i comes to eating it,  yet if i make a simple sandwich etc at lunch i always enjoy it, strange.
