Just a few snaps from Aberdeen. I am still recovering from the lack of sleep, guess that's what happened when you go visit someone at Uni! I did want to do a few outfit posts while I was up there but was in no fit state to even try and make an effort. Classy!
I had an amazing three days in Scotland, we were so lucky to have such beautiful weather. The little break away consisted of our friend pretending to be Oscar the Grouch in a dumpster on the way home, drinking cocktails out of buckets, staying in a four poster bed, eating the best smartie cupcake, finding some goodies in the charity shops, wandering around Aberdeen city centre at silly o'clock in the morning, going to a UV bubble party, spending a small fortune on the 2p machines, losing miserably at crazy golf and drinking a lethal homemade cocktail that I never want to try again. Vodka, Rum, Whiskey and Lambrini don't mix for some reason... Life seems a bit boring now i'm home!
001. The pub crawl last night was a success. I didn't drink much at all (don't look too surprised) as it didn't seem worth wasting my weightwatchers points on it. We ended up staying in the third pub where they had a live band on. It was a really nice chilled out evening, just what I needed!
001. Finely chop the onion, bacon and red pepper - don't forget to de-seed the pepper!
002. Pop a teaspoon of oil in the pan and add the bacon. Cook it for five minutes- keeps stirring so it doesn't stick to the pan. Then add the onion, pepper and garlic, stir for another five minutes.
003. Add the paprika and rice. Cook and stir the dish for two minutes and then add the wine. Make sure you keep stirring and cook for another two minutes.
004. Add the stock and stir it all in. Let the dish simmer for 15 minutes, occasionally stirring.
005. Chop the seafood into bite size chunks. You can miss this step out of you choose to get a seafood mix instead of a fish pie mix.
006. Add the peas into the mix and simmer for another five minutes.
007. Add all the seafood and carry on stirring for two to three minutes until the seafood is warmed all the way through.
Bon Appetit! We had ours with mini Weightwatchers garlic baguettes to help fill us up. But to be honest you don't need them! This was so filling and just the right amount of stodge. It didn't feel "healthy" at all. I'm going to try and attempt a chicken and chorizo paella next time. I love stodgy rice dishes!
001: Well I ate a lot of food this week. What weightwatchers? I was too busy out enjoying myself to point watch, something i'm sure to regret come tomorrow's weigh in... I attempted my first homemade lasagne tonight. It was lovely even if I do say so myself! It was a weightwatchers recipe so I used pork mince instead of beef. It was a really nice change.
Lovely ladies 
002. Chop all red onion and courgette in however small you fancy! 
003: Put a teaspoon of oil into a large frying pan and chuck all the veg in. Don't forget to keep stirring so it doesn't stick to the bottom. 
005: Crack the six eggs into a bowl (i'd use a bigger one in future as you can't whisk very well in a small bowl) and add the three tablespoons of dry herbs. It does say in the orginal recipe to use fresh herbs (parsley and dill) but we just used what we had in the cupboard. Up to you what you choose to use! Wisk the ingredients together.
