@amgrundy and @Mongolia - no success yet on the meringues, I'm afraid.
I tried making them with erythritol this time, as the stevia didn't work (rubbery and horrible, as you said).
These were crisp when they came out of the oven and I thought I'd cracked it. Unfortunately though, when I tasted them - although they were chewy in the middle - there was very little substance to them and I didn't like the taste. They weren't actually sweet; it's difficult to describe, but they left a strange, 'cold' aftertaste in the mouth. Also, by the time they'd been out of the oven for an hour or two they ended up rubbery and flaccid, so I threw them away.
Ah well, back to the drawing board.....

Rubbery and flaccid meringues? No one wants that! Thanks for trying again @debrasue

B: coffeencream
L: had remembered that school lunch today was going to be a buffet sandwich carb fest to celebrate the Queen's birthday so had took in my own crackers and cheese to avoid the temptation:angelic:. Sadly hadn't anticipated the celebratory cupcakes in the staffroom with the Queen's face on in rice paper. Felt it would be akin to treason to refuse one and I didn't feel that my public execution would be a good thing for small children to witness so did my duty and ate one:oops:
D: bolognaise (the last of the batch) with roast cauli; home made strawberry ice cream:hungry:

I made a roast beef & swiss sandwich with mayo & mustard, couple thin slices of tomato on ...
not bread...
but something that tastes almost just like bread and only 1-2g per slice!
i.e. processed cheese slice (the ones that often come individually wrapped in plastic) .. take plastic off throw on parchment/wax/freezer paper and microwave for 45 seconds to a minute. It'll puff up nicely and be airy and a bit crunchy. What a yummy sandwich it was!
