What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[maglil55]

Thanks but is the silicone one essential as we have a metal one which came with the IP?

In a word - No. I got the silicon one in an offer.

@DJC3 - There are loads of LC Baileys recipes on 'tinternet. I haven't tried any of them as I have never cared for it. As I said, I've never tried any, but lowcarbyum is usually quite reliable: https://lowcarbyum.com/copycat-baileys-irish-cream/

Like, like, like , like, like, like - will be adding Jamiesons to my shopping list.

This year I have 2 litres of sloes and gin, one of sloes and vodka, and one of strawberries and vodka, all percolating nicely.
The stawb is probably ready to drain and sweeten (erythritol), destined for xmas presents.
The sloes need another 2 months, then as long as possible to mature. And they are ALL MINE. I’m aiming to let them sit for a year. Don’t know if I can.

I did strawberry gin and raspberry gin, in the summer when they were cheap and plentiful. I also did cherry gin, and pineapple vodka.

I did mine SV,........... just because I'm super-impatient , and having saved some of the fruit (I froze it), I do declare it to be the perfect accompaniment to ice creeam, or cream - provided you're not going anywhere. Ahem.

And me! Might be more than one glass I raise though. Just discovered a Keto creme de cacao so Brandy Alexander could be back on the agenda if I can find a high enough proof vodka. Might get away with 90 proof spirit as the base as the 150 they use give you 80 proof finished which sounds a bit mind blowing!

Omad day today, sort of.

Early lunch so we could get out to see the Armistice day parade going through the village at 2:30

Slow roast lamb shoulder, roast celeriac, roast broccoli, buttered cabbage and cauliflower cheese.
Followed by a total success of a pud - New York style cheesecake from Carolyn Ketchum’s Everyday Ketogenic Kitchen book. She also blogs under AlldayIdreamaboutfood.com so I expect it’s there too.
Made the traditional way in a bain marie it tastes exactly right. 2.6 g carbs per slice 1/12 of the whole, but could easily get more slices than this. Wish I’d taken a photo of a slice before it was all eaten.

Should we change the thread name to what have you eaten and got drunk on today ?

Hi all picked what I think was my last crop of raspberries today to make clafoutis but luckily freezer stocked with summer excess so can keep going for a while - amazing crop this year.
Also felt very hungry today - think it was a stress related hunger and managed to tame it with nibbling nuts rather than choc!
Breakfast one slice bacon, egg and mushrooms
Lunch nuts and cheese
Afternoon a few more ounces of nuts - almonds and walnuts
Dinner steak, butternut squash chips, one new potato chip from Ohs plate! , onion, tomatoes and mushroom sauce with red wine followed by raspberry clafoutis and cream.
Don’t often feel temptation thankfully but today definitely did!

Strange old day today.
Breakfast - just a cuppa (rarely do breakfast)
Lunch - just a coffee - being at a soft play centre over lunch not the best idea as not a single option on the menu I could eat
Dinner - the family were desperate for takeaway and I must admit hearing the words ‘you’ll have had a whole day off from cooking if we do’, well was more than enough to convince me. So, a king prawn and chicken madras with a side of mutton tikka garlic fry it was

Looks lovely, cheesecake was a favourite, I’ve not tried a low carb version as yet but there are lots of recipes out there.

Evening all, nice relaxed day, spent the morning at home then trip,out as my partner is considering a new van so we are looking at options. Sun shone and much warmer than of late.
Coffee and cream
B egg, bacon and mushrooms
L not really lunch just had a few salami crisps and some cream cheese
Half a PhD bar late afternoon
D we opted for an indian, huts had a curry, no rice and then realised I didn’t have any cauli rice but the sauce was quite thick so didn’t really need any.

As I said, very good job only 1 son here and school day tomorrow, In a couple of weeks all 3 boys and all grandchildren here so may go all along the spirits cupboard plus the stash of single malts people buy me for Christmas - double digit boxes still boxed - doesn't float my boat atm but would be a fun afternoon no doubt, You would be most welcome @Emma_369 (until the moment you strayed into the "good" brandy and port) If gin is your thing Julie has a range that would probably entertain you.
Interesting thing is I don't really drink
