Just browsing on here till the new year when I m going to get my act together and go low carb .Looking for more ideas
They did it with grated potato on Masterchef last night. Let it sit for a few minutes then put it in a muslin cloth, twisted the top and squeezed. I was astonished at the amount of liquid that came out of raw potato (they did salt it as well but I don't see that making a difference with cauliflower).How does he squeeze out the water? This sounds very good!
I stab lamb joints with cloves of garlic, rosemary and a squeeze of lemon juice.Popping in to say @DJC3 can I borrow Paul to go meat shopping for me? Is the lamb recipe with anchovies in your CMT?
To stay vaguely on topic, just downing a Teaolat with cream and a glass of iced water, having taken today’s meat supplies out of the freezer, although I then remembered there are already some chicken wings marinating in the fridge!
I have 3 pairs of kitchen scissors because I use them for about everything (raw meat - always, even sausages I want to use cut up, but also to clean string beans and even to cut pre-sliced cheese) but I'm not very good at doing the dishes in any regular way, so I need multiple kitchen scissorsHaha Paul calls them chooky eggs too. I asked granddaughter if she wanted me to mash the egg, she said no and did it herself with the kitchen scissors. Cutting with the blades in the cup - I was impressed, very efficient.
If you're going to talk much anyway, why not share how you did this magic? I was on the edge of my chair, waiting for the secret, and then.... Nothing!But my excitement for the day is I actually used a stainless steel pan to cook my omelette and found a way to make a stainless steel pan non stick and it worked so no more eggs or other foods sticking to the pan. Lol I know this may sound silly to post but I refuse to buy non stick frying pans so was pretty excited to discover this method of making a stainless steel pan non stick and it actully working..... ok I've talked about this way to much ....
That's exactly what I kept telling myself like a mantra: 'Plenty of very sensible and healthy diabetics who eat meals like this all the time so no need for veggies' .@Antje77 that Rookwurst looks like a very sensible carnivore meal to me
Yes - received the order just today (while out at work) - I would love mine to be delivered within 24 hours (they should be as the postage has been paid for it!) and then you know they are lovely and fresh - so burgers for dinner tomorrow I guess - just for a change ...and rolls on bacon, egg .... and fresh sandwiches for lunch tomorrow ....Mega catch up. I'm still working through well over 100 posts so apologies if I miss anything. Firstly, thanks for the birthday wishes whether they were early (not belated), on the day or belated (belated). @Goonergal, the instrument of torture works well and I hope to get more time to use it a little bit more than I have. @Annb - I hope your extraction is no longer causing you issues. I am amazed at your prune/plum consumption! @Mrs T 123 - Did you receive your SLC replacement rolls? The answer may be in the many posts I still have to read. As I think I said already, I can't fathom out how I get mine in 24 hrs when you are just the opposite side of Edinburgh to me. My DGF order is a different matter as it seems to love residing in Peterborough for a few days! DGF did get it moving from there on Sunday though so I didn't have to bin the replacement.
Wednesday 25 Nov - my birthday and peppered with the worrying news about my brother (no more news at the moment)

Ah, to be fair to my parents, neither used the scurvy argument, it was just me and books!@Antje77 I seem to remember the scurvy argument being used in my childhood too! My sister hates peas so much she never gave them to her kids!
