Donna you can just add them to your coffee, tea, hot chocolate

Or you could make a nice cup of coffee, whip some cream until very thick, top your coffee with the cream and then pour over some of the syrup

very similar to Starbucks Caramel Macchiato

Certainly can

Custard is cream (and a little bit of milk if needed), egg yolks and sweetener cooked over a gentle heat until thickened

Oh yes, thats it

Must search out some rhubarb now - will take me back to when I was a child as my mum had rhubarb growing in her garden and often made a crumble

Re: Starting low carb eating again, anybody want to join me?


Thanks so much for info Emma. Have added that site to my favourites. I eat quite a lot of chicken, I love fajitas, stir fries, curries, I also love bread & potatoes

I feel so uncomfortable, nothing fits and I really hate my size. I loathe having my picture taken and avoid even looking in the mirror.

Kazz, I do a fair bit of walking with the dogs, about an hour most evenings, usually more at the week-ends. Perhaps I need to get myself an exercise bike!
