Either or both

Saturday Walk Club
This is man friendly as there is a man in the video & it is personal training as oppose to ballet dancing and so forth. You can also do this challenge if you are a woman too, or do it as a couple if you have enough space. You get more energy as well.
(It also has a gong to ding dong lol!!!)
The nerd used to do Matrix by Kathy Smith as it is for men as well as women like a gym but at home and challenging, he won’t do anything like ballet so if you relate to that this will work for you.
Just get off your chair or settee and do this for ten minutes every day till March in March.

Dinner Ideas
This week is a fish Course idea.
As it it the 70’s diet plan this month, makes sense to have 70’s Alcohol from your drinks cabinet.
homemaker-tips/70s-drinks-cabinet
I like this with diet chips and 70’s wine.
We have had Mateus, Riesling and Hock.
(Need to stock these back into our plastic box makeshift wine cellar.)
Noticed a Chablis 70’s diet and would like to try the wine but not the diet.
Discovered a Petit Chablis at Sainsbury’s if you want to try it too.
Chablis does go with the fish recipe ideas.
Yes, Chablis is an excellent pairing for tuna Niçoise. The high acidity, crisp citrus, and distinct minerality of a young, unoaked Chablis cuts through the oiliness of the tuna and balances the complex flavors of the olives, anchovies, and vinaigrette.
Why Chablis Works with Tuna Niçoise:
- Acidity & Oil: The sharp acidity in Chablis matches the vinaigrette and balances the rich, oily texture of tuna.
- Mineral Profile: The flinty, mineral notes of Chablis complement the briny, salty elements like olives and capers.
- Versatility: Whether using fresh seared tuna or traditional canned tuna, the citrus and mineral notes enhance the dish without overwhelming the fresh vegetables.
Pairing Tips:
- Best Options: A classic, crisp Petit Chablis or a village-level Chablis is ideal for a standard salad.
- For Seared Tuna: If the Niçoise features heavily seared tuna, a Chablis Premier Cru provides enough structure to match the richer, cooked flavor.
- Alternative: While Chablis is great, a Provençal Rosé is considered the traditional, most authentic pairing.

You could also have fish and chips or fish fingers and chips with Chablis or Mateus.
We use diet fish and chips but the takeaway type aren’t as bad in calories as they used to be as they are now cooked in vegetable oil.
A standard, average portion of fish and chips from a UK chip shop typically contains between 850 and 1,000+ calories. A smaller “regular” portion often falls in the 600–700 calorie range, while a large serving can easily exceed 1,000–1,500 calories, depending on the amount of chips and oil used.
Depends where you are at with your diet and calories I suppose or if you are just maintaining and having a Sunday treat.
Yes, Chablis is an excellent pairing for fish and chips. Its high acidity and crisp, citrusy, mineral profile cut through the richness of the deep-fried batter, providing a refreshing contrast. As a unoaked Chardonnay, it offers the necessary zest to complement the fish without overpowering it, making it a great pairing for fried foods.
Key pairings details:
- Why it works: The steely, dry nature of Chablis acts as a palate cleanser against oily food.
- Flavor profile: Expect notes of green apple, lemon, and a distinctive minerality.
While some may prefer a more aromatic, herbaceous, or lower-priced white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Picpoul de Pinet, Chablis is considered a sophisticated and effective pairing for traditional, battered fish.

Lady Felsham has fish and chips so they are cool!!!
(I used order just fish. I ate the fish and left the batter like having the burgar without the bun ~ still tastes gorgeous, usefull if you are on the go and can’t find slimming takeaway food.)
Yes, white fish is very low in calories and fat, making it an excellent choice for weight management and lean protein intake. A 100-gram portion typically contains only 70 to 90 calories. Common white fish like cod, hake, haddock, and sole are nutrient-dense, providing high-quality protein while remaining low in overall calories.
People ate fish and chips in the 70’s and were skinny ~ it is fish and potatoes this time.
