Ammaki - Don't be too hard on yourself about having gained weight. No where have I ever heard that if you were overweight before being pregnant that you should not gain any weight when pregnant (I could be living in a bubble, but I doubt it). Not that pregnancy should be an excuse to eat whatever you want and not be healthy, but don't beat yourself up for having gained weight.
HJ - Bulgur is a whole grain. You can usually get it at health stores, or if you have a middle eastern specialty store near where you live you can probably get it there as well. It's sort of similar to couscous but is supposidly more healthy (Not sure if that's true or now, but I heard it somewhere). It sort of makes the pasta sauce have that grainy texture that it would have it you had really fine mince in it.
Belfie - I'll PM you my mum's potato fudge recipe (I seem to have missplaced my recipe and can't remember it) after she e-mails me with it (she's visiting my brother at the moment, so it might be a couple of days). I won't post it on here because it's anything but healthy and I refuse to be the downfall of healthy eating in this thread
MM - Scallops are a mollusk (but VERY different to clams and pipis and the like). I LOVE them they probably come close to being my favourite seafood. Belfie probably did a good job describing them. I like mine without the roe (orange bit) though.
AFM - This weekend on the exercise front (well kinda) I am planning on mowing the lawn (assuming it doesn't rain again). I also want to do some weeding and pruning in my garden beds. I will be cleaning out my bird cages and cleaning my fish tanks. Then I am hoping to finish painting the baby's room. I am also hoping that I can get DH to walk the dogs with me (assuming he gets home from work at a reasonable hour) tonight and each night over the long weekend. On Monday I am hoping to be able to bring my horse up and do some circle work with him (that always uses up HEAPS of energy) and depending on how well he listens there I might get DH to have a ride and if he behaves for DH I'm hoping to be able to ride him in the yards for 20-30 minutes or so
I don't have any ideas on eating yet though.![]()
