Saturday, day one-hundred and ninety-five, weekend feed day Weigh-in at start of day wt. 110.8lbs (analogue scales corrected ~107.8lbs); 0.4lbs loss
... t.measures - ub. 28.5, w. 25.5, t. 30.25, h. 34.25 inches
Report for the end of week 36 on 4.5 : 2.5 - 0.4lb loss this week (total loss 35.2lbs); registered shrinkage: about a quarter inch off each under-bust, stomach and hips, and a miserly touch off the waist. Think the waist measurement should be better but I'm very "fluidy" this morn, for reasons unknown, so 25.5 it has to be.
That there's much weight loss at all at this time of year is, as far as I'm concerned, rather pleasing. Now to get it so that my weight fluctuates a pound or two *below* my target weight rather above it - then I'll be the happiest FatDog ever.
Aim for today: add methods to Thursday's recipes (oops), catch up with the missing recipes, plot tonight's dinner, get *something* (anything) down for my recipe database.
And tonight's dinner *will* involve a frying pan, my Christmas present, a new 28cm non-stick Tefal frying pan from the OH (I'll just have to buy Plenty for myself, I guess). It's a supposed half-price bargain (£12 vs. £24) from Sainsers: an "on sale in outer Bungolia at the higher price between November and December" type bargain, but actually about what one pays at Lidls for an equivalent. Have tried it out making a stilton omelette for the OH and it works a *dream*. I *do* like this non-stick lark - big waggings. Pancakes tonight. Woof! Woof!
Well, I got that wrong. Took an age to clear the washing-up back-log and I'm not inclined to stand for another hour, or more, chopping vegetables. So it's a highly carbiferous pizza for dinner - it's somewhat dubious too, as it came from our freegan friend and we've not had one that's not been growing extra blue furry bits for quite a while. Oh well, more than a week freezing followed by 15 minutes at 200C should bump off anything nasty I suspect. If you don't hear from me again you'll know that I got it wrong

Gah. Major fall-out with the OH over "stopping smoking". OH's first wife, mother-of-only-son, is *really* struggling with her breathing but continues a sixty-a-day habit. Yup, I'm a dreaded ex-smoker as of 25th March last year - I try not to be sanctimonious but can't, for the life of me, understand how folk can continue once they've read the info on sites such as whyquit.com. For the most effective quitting method I don't think you have to look further than the USian monster survey figure (involving 10s of thousands, IIRC) that showed that of those still stopped after six months, 96% stopped cold-turkey. [exceeding-contentious-statement] As far as I'm concerned that's a QED, anything else is procrastination on the part of the smoker or an inadvertent sick joke on the part of health advisors. ; [/exceeding-contentious-statement]
FatDog logic: OH has bought the FD a frying-pan for its Christmas pressie, for £12, that the FD actually *needed* and would probably have acquired (as a necessity) sooner rather than later. Ergo, the FD is *entitled* to purchase herself a cook-book for twelve quid, or thereabouts? Hmmm. Not sure that I'd be able to find a logician that wouldn't shred that train of thought, but BAHH HUMBUG to them - I'm gettin' mysel' a book, right? Wag. Woof. Tee hee. Which book(s) is it to be? Plenty and Paradisio Seasons are over budget, but Elizabeth David on Vegetables is well within, and I could even bung in the 365 Covent Garden Soup book to boot... Oooooh decisions. Oooooooh happy dreams.

I'm not sure what happened to Sunday. Somehow I didn't get to do my log though... Hmm - "the lost day" or some such.
Dinner was a bottom-of-fridge stir fry which was intended for two, stretched to three and then further stretched to four.
Hungry FatDog ended up filling up on chocolate, peanuts, ginger cake and summer berries with cream (with a whisky of course). Gah.

It's only a stir-fry recipe, but it came together rather well (the peanut sauce could have done with a bit more thought and tenderness) so thought I'd post anyway. It's an utterly splendid repair day dinner too:
