Made an upgraded version of my jelly creams ready for valentines - made 6 so had cheeky one today and saved some for the day! I dissolved one packet of Hartley sugar free raspberry jelly crystals with half a pint of boiling water. When dissolved added juice of one lemon and a handful of frozen raspberries - which cools jelly rapidly. while cooling jelly I beat up 300ml pot of double cream to soft peaks and then beat into jelly mix which was starting to set. Iif not using frozen berries you may need a bit more water. I then spooned mix into 6 teacups to make it look good and topped with a couple of fresh berries.

Lunch chicken leg with salad and one LC seeded crispbread followed by a few berries with latest batch of hm yoghurt. I have another lot in yoghurt maker waiting in the wings.
Dinner chicken curry with cauliflower rice and lots of chopped fresh Corriander plus a gin in soda water with ice and lemon and lime. Pudding as photo plus on serving added dollop of yoghurt- my hm yoghurt tastes a bit like clotted cream - yum.

Still trying to eat soft food in order to save my broken tooth from getting worse. Next dental appt available is end of April and that will involve root canal treatment. Feeling miserable about the whole thing.
Breakfast was leftover spicy pork soup (DD recipe)
L cheese omelette. DGF cake and tea with lactofree milk.
Dinner will be more soup. Probably DD Philly cheesesteak soup or the no noodle chicken soup.

I'd be asking for an emergency appointment. I've always got one immediately but we're private (nigh on impossible to get a NHS dentist and even when you did it was costly). When we were NHS they would arrange emergency treatment.
 
Toasted low carb bacon sandwiches for breakfast.
Nothing for smoko, lemon cordial / osmolax brew to keep me regular.
Cold tinned salmon (Mmmm! crunchy bones), mixed salad, green jelly witha spoonful of passion fruit sorbet.
Four chicken drumsticks ina spicy tomato and onion gravy for supper at ix.

Four pepper crackers with blue cheese watching docco's on Prime Video.

Believe it or not this is an emergency app! I’m private too - hardly any NHS dentists in Cornwall. They said they’d ring me if there was a cancellation. When I asked what to do if the rest of the tooth fell off or it got very painful I was told to get one of those emergency repair kits from a supermarket! Looks like soup for 2.5 months then.
Ps sorry, should have put this on parallel thread.
 
Bed 6.6 FBG 6 4. Weather is vile today. No jujitsu but son still wanted to go shopping. I got my butcher trip in before we headed to the supermarket. Got back and some inconsiderate so and so had parked in my space (we own our spaces). Eldest grandson & pal got caught in the horrid rain and turned up at mine as it was closest to warm up, dry off, and strip the snack box bare!

B. TAG. Not in the mood for cooking so had 3 M&S crackers with whipped cheese.
L. Butcher had amazing roast beef so 2 slices with DD no tater, tater salad.
D. Beef kebabs (done with chilli and harrisa), peppers, onions, mushrooms. Had it with coleslaw, tomato and no tater salad.

SIL was discharged today from hospital. Looking well, eating again and glad to be home
Sorry, currently on my second vodka and diet coke!

That is crazy!
 
Forgot yesterday. It was:

Breakfast - ratatouille with a fried egg on top

2nd meal - mussels. Meant to have them with a cucumber and tomato salad but the fridge must have been extra cold because the cucumber was frozen and useless, so it was just tomato salad. Plus a slice of Neil's wholemeal bread. He's made another one to perfect the recipe (more salt needed in the first one). So I cut the remainder of the first one into small cubes, mixed with a little olive oil and made croutons, which will be the basis of completely sugar-free breakfast cereal to use with yoghurt and fruit. Actually, the mussels were tasteless, even with some salt and lemon juice added (they were already cooked, in a packet, not in their shells, so there was a limit to what I could do with them) and I ended up throwing out half of them - just not worth the bother eating them. Had the slice of bread to make up for it.

Today's breakfast - 2 sausages, 2 rashers streaky bacon and 2 fried eggs. Very filling and should last me for much of the day.

Shan't do much else today - just organised the recycling bin ready for tomorrow morning and that has finished me. Drinking water at present to try to revive me.
 
@DJC3 I hope you can get your tooth sorted. Sounds miserable.

Another hotel breakfast of omelette and bacon this morning, followed up by some Fage 0%, raspberries and cream which were still lurking in the hotel fridge. At least 1 more portion left, even after a smaller amount of the same in lieu of dinner.

Late lunch at Wingstop. Miss the one near our old office, so finding a branch here is welcome. Had a mix of lemon pepper and garlic and Parmesan wings.

Hoping for a little less rain tomorrow for a last canal walk before heading home on Tuesday.

This morning was wet and windy so took opportunity to further my fermentation project - see photo. Fermented peppers which had live bacteria added and developed at 40 degrees for 72 hours were ready so added white wine venegar and moved to fridge. Prepared a new ferment of redcabbage, gingerand beetroot - ready in 4 weeks. The good thing about fermentation for us lowcarbers is that the friendly bacteria that we need for our gut health eat the sugar/starch to grow and so naturally reduce carb content - as well as reseed our gut with the bacteria we need for optimal health.
Lunch tin of tuna mixed with some fermented roast peppers and a beetroot salad - as had some left over from fermentation project!plus lc seeded crispbread. Pudding a few raspberries with hm yoghurt
Dinner two savoury courses for a change! First course king prawns in avocado oil and lemon mayo on saladleaves
main course steak with some fried onions, mushrooms and asparagus plus glass of dry red wine.
Will be drinking my green clove tea later!
 
@shelley262 your lovely colourful jars of fermenting veg look fantastic.
Today’s breakfast/ brunch was a couple of fried eggs.
Dinner- family round hoping for a roast but had to go with a more tooth friendly option. DD Keto lasagne. The pasta sheets are a bit of a faff but it’s jolly nice. Strawberries and cream.
 
breakfast; low carb granola, a toasted slice of carbzone bread and butter
mocha
lunch: sister make a low carb buffet which included quiche made in a crust of serrano ham, ribs, chicken wings, salad coleslaw. ,posset with berries a gin and tonic
tea: low carb toast and butter
 
Quick and surprisingly tasty meal today. :)

Broccoli, onion, garlic, cream, cream cheese, grated cheese, canned tuna and black pepper.

Bed 6 1 FBG 6.7. Horizontal rain and sleet day. Barely a break in it and swimming lessons were still on.

B. TAG and 2 slices of back bacon with 2 eggs and 5 santini tomatoes.
L. At aiming.
D. Usual campari and soda. Beef stroganoff (NOT the DD version, which is made with mince??). Rick Stein version with lovely fillet & celeriac fries.

My very kind butcher retains the ends of the fillet when I tell him I'm making stroganoff rather than use the centre cut. Great value. 20220213_184325.jpg

Heavenly looking fries too!
 
Two hard boiled eggs, two slices low carb toast and vegimite for breakfast.
Nothing for smoko or lunch, feeling crook in the guts.
Ham and salad sandwiches for "dinner / supper at six".
 
Been awol a few days, my mum is poorly, so I dashed down to the south coast to see her before she was ambulanced off to hospital. Stayed a couple of days as my brother was there too. But have come back home now as no hospital visiting til Tuesday (strange covid rules :() anyway can’t remember everything I ate, so I’ll just do today:

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and PE bar.
Tea at ILs: cold meat, cheese and salad buffet followed by one Jaffa cake! Good to have a Jaffa cake, missed it for three weeks while covid went round the ILs :hungry:
