    I was making dinner this evening, and needed a faaaast spag
    bol recipe! I also had some quorn mince in the freezer that
    needed using up as it's been here a while.

    In a non-stick pan sprayed with a little lo fat olive oil
    spray, fry:

    1 medium onion, chopped finely (zero points) 3 oz mushrooms,
    chopped finely (zero points) half a red pepper, chopped
    finely (zero points) 1 235g pack of Quorn mince (2.5 points)
    1 teaspoon smashed garlic

    Add each thing as you chop it, up to the mince. When well
    combined, add:

    2 tins of tomatoes, chopped or squidged (zero points) 1
    teaspoon mixed herbs (zero points) 1 beef or herb stock
    cube, according to taste (zero points) 2 teaspoons sugar
    (2 points)

    Turn down the heat and cover with a lid.

    While it simmers, heat the water and cook the spaghetti.
    This quantity make 3 generous portions, for a total
    point value of 4.5 points per serving. Not bad, and very
    tasty! Remember, this is calculated using UK values:
    your points may vary.

    Yes, it's like the crumbles. I've found it at Whole Foods
    in the US, and in the "natural" or "health food" sections
    of Kroger's. Many people I've met (and some I just cyber-
    know) like it, but I didn't care for it. I prefer the
    crumbles from Morningstar Farms - which is more widely
    available in my area.

    Thanks for the recipe...sounds good, especially for a cold
    rainy day.

    If you don't mind, I have another question for you regarding
    measurements. Here in the states food labels indicate energy
    content using "calories" (technically, kilocalories). It's
    my understanding that foods in the UK and Europe are labeled
    with both calories, and joules. Is this correct? And, more
    to the point, which units do you find easiest to use?

    Mostly what we get are kilo calories and calories. I usually
    use kcals. Joules only appear on a few things. Remember, the
    UK is still slightly different from the rest of Europe!

    with kilojoules, and only very occasionally with calories as
    well. I love metric

    Thanks for the feedback, even though it means more work for
    me. The program already has an option to switch between
    Imperial and Metric units of measure (kg vs.lbs, etc.).
    But, it sounds like "energy" will require a separate option
    so folks can use either joules or calories, depending on
    local custom.

    I love metric too...and would love it even more if I didn't
    have to support all these other units of measure!

    Oh, well. Back to the grindstone...

    In the rest of Europe (that I know of) we always have
    kilocalories and kilojoules on the labels.
