Evening all...

Now that makes me feel old, people who don't know what a walnut whip is! Thankfully you can still get them.

When I was a girl, I could demolish a pack of 3, got the nuts off, nasty bitter walnuts! Then bit off the top and put my tongue inside to get the filling out and then just all that lovely very thick, teeth-breaking chocolate to finish off with...

People who haven't come across walnut whips also probably don't know who David Cassidy is...

I've not tried the phish food. Think I will have to treat myself to some tomorrow, see what I think to it

Hi ldlp

Is everything ok with the horses? And how do you make cider? Lol
 
yeah they're all fine

to cut a long story short you mince/chop apples up, wrap them in cloth to make what is called a 'cheese' then squash the juice out and put it in we use big black barrels and leave to ferment takes about 6 months

How many points are you allowed? And how do you work out how many points each thing is?

I'm allowed 20 a day but it depends on your weight, age, job whether it's active or not (I sit down most of the day) and a few other things. The weightwatchers online database has a huge selection of stuff so you just search for the food, but if it's not on there there's a calculator on the website where you put in the calories and saturated fat per 100g and the portion size and it tells you how many points. It's simpler than it sounds and I remember most of the points values of the stuff I eat a lot of so just count it up in my head.
 
Walnut Whips without the Walnuts are delicious

Mochadun - I have heard of David Cassidy but don't really have a clue who he is

Slinks - Whats in the Alaska Ice cream?
 
well the sugar in the apple mixes with the natural yeast of apple to ferment into alcohol generally gets to about 6.5% (i think don't quote me)
 
Ha poor katie.
You do sort of have to feel sorry for her, do they do a challenge every night.

AA, that doesn't sound too bad, I suppose there are some things you eat a lot of, so it makes it easy to count the points.
 
Hi there,
I have been lurking for a while, and reading your sweet FA things each day, but I feel anti-social just reading them, so I was wondering if I can join you guys in the conversation????
(sorry, im not good with wording things right, but you guys seem like a nice bunch so thought I'd ask)
