mostly useless crap from me

I just checked the bread we’ve been using at home. Have been counting 2 pt per 2 slices. It’s actually 3.5 points per 2 slices. Whoops.

Came across sachets of WW mousse and desserts in the jelly section of the supermarket.

The Choc WW mouse is superb. On Saturday night, I whipped it up according to directions, then I got some fresh strawberries, halved them, and stirred them in through the mousse. Popped the mix into two parfait glasses into the fridge for 90 minutes and I reckon it was one of the nicest desserts I have had in years.

The Strawberry mousse is surprisingly nice. I have found that sometimes strawberry things can be overly sweet, but the flavour is subtle. Very nice.

The mousses make two serves per sachet, and each serve is worth one point. With the strawberries, it is 1.5. I think I will ditch the Nestle tubs in future for these things; much much nicer, and not counted as a sugar point!

We have not yet made up the desserts (I got a rasperry and a choc one) although each sachet only makes one serve, and each serve is 1.5 points. The esteemable Mr Kosky said that he tried the reaspberry one the other night but was not overly impressed. We’ll get through the rest of these this week; will report as it happens.

PS Inger, the choc mousse + strawberries is a good way to get 0.5 pt of fruit!

Just a quick note to let everyone know that there is a new range of Nestle desserts (Safeway, anyway). There’s about 6 or 8 flavours, this morning at shopping, I picked up one: blueberry crumble yoghurt. Be interested to see how they compare with the mousse/creme caramel type desserts…

Is damn fine.

I asked Monica to make this last night and she did a stirling job. Very yummy and 4.5 points.

It’s in the Mix and Match receipe book, which I heartily recommend.
