What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[Rachox]

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and an Aldi protein bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and another carb killa bar.
Dinner: prawns with Marie Rose sauce on a low carb roll with a side of coleslaw. No sunshine to ripen my second avocado

Right before bed a generous portion of crisps to prevent the weekly nighttime hypos. Didn't work this time, went hypo anyway but still had a lovely night.

Have you searched in the back of your garden?
Works for me!

Yup!

ROTFL.You're incorrigible @Antje77

Sounds delicious to me.

I think they were the right ingredients, but in the wrong order. Or something like that.

Often it's over a week or even 10 days for mine. Some never seem to soften, just go straight from hard to bad. I buy the small ones so there's less to throw away if that happens.

Perhaps I've been lucky @MrsA2. Although supermarkets have the purchasing power, independent greengrocers, if you're fortunate to have one within striking distance, know how to look after avocados.

I was introduced to avocados early in life. Grandpa was ex-services and had developed a liking for them whilst stationed in Jamaica. Back in the day, they were not widely available here in the UK and I remember my parents making a lengthy detour to a high class greengrocer in Covent Garden in order to buy Grandpa's avocados. Whilst good quality, grandpa always maintained that they couldn't quite match the flavour of those he'd enjoyed in Jamaica.

Recipe please. I know its not low carb, but I have bags of frozen grapes and don't know what to make with them. You can pm me to save derailing the thread. Any any others ways of using up frozen grapes
