What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[MrsA2]

Think I can add a line to their renting contract about pizza taxes for accepting their packages? I'm not thinking heavy taxes, just a single bite whenever I have to take their pizza at the front door...

It's clause 3.14 subsection 178 in a standard UK lease...

I did, after all, have a 2nd meal today. I didn't decide to have it until about 7 pm so it was nearly 8 before I had it. Pork loin chop, broccoli, just blanched but not really cooked and finished in butter, about 10 oven chips from the freezer. BG was 6.8 before the meal and 5.1 two hours later. Had a crumpet and butter and it rose to 5.6.

I was still laughing at @Antje77 ‘s post when I read your reply which made me laugh even more!

Late post tonight, before I forget what I’ve had. Quite a lot as it turns out.
B- h/b eggs, Edam crackers and black garlic kimchi
Late morning- macadamia nuts.
L- chicken burger! Been fancying one for weeks so I pushed the boat out and bought pork panko crumbs ( stupidly expensive but I can never grind pork scratchings properly myself, I end up with a mush at the bottom of the blender and lots of hard lumps above)
So, coated chicken breast with egg and pork panko, airfried and served in a SLC bun with mayo, hot sauce and lettuce. Delicious.
D- DD keto meat pie. V small slice as I wasn’t hungry but I was babysitting granddaughters and I’d made it for everyone’s dinner.

Have you tried putting pork scratchings between baking sheets and rolling it with a bottle of Beerenburg?
I seem to remember this worked pretty well but I'd forgotten about it.
(I guess you could use a bottle with a different type of booze as well but I haven't tried so not sure. Or you could use a rolling pin if you own one, which I don't.)

I'm absolutely amazed that pork panko can be bought, and your chicken burger looks amazing!

I haven’t tried it, it’s a good idea though. I’ve rolled pastry with a wine bottle often.

This bag of panko crumbs is quite big so should last me a while. I saw it mentioned on a carnivore fB group and got it from Amazon.

Cucumber-basil cold soup, brocoli -spinach soup, ridegourd fry, ladies finger fry, komatsuna greens, cabbage salad

Breakfast: thinly sliced cold pork (about 1/3 of a ready cooked chop) with h/m mayo on a slice of bread.
2nd meal: still some ready cooked pork chop left, so I've cut it into chunks and will refry it later with some cabbage and other veggie bits and pieces.

 

[saky]

Dinner-raw cabbage salad, ridge gpurd fry, brocoli- spinach soup, komatsuna greens, ladies finger fry.
Almond butter home made biscuit witj a cup of coconutmilk coffee

Late lunch.
Eaten outside because there are always pieces of raw onion falling off a herring eaten from the tail.
Cats and dogs approved as well.
No idea why the camera absolutely refused to focus on the herring.

I think it's a Dutch thing, right?

Big birthday weekend...... a few treats
Coffee and cream x 2
Coffee and unsweetened almond milk
Beef and tomato
Homemade choc chip cookie (not made by me) B/S didn't go up much either. I was surprised.
2 small Lamb Cutlets and butter

I believe so. Alistair likes his herring pickled but I don't eat them - too many bones. I do like the taste of kippers but the bones are just too much for me.

Both pickled herrings and kippers are completely different in flavour and texture from this Dutch salty herring. I like the taste of kippers but I do agree on the bones aspect. Salty herring does have some very thin bones, but they're so soft that they don't bother me.

Happy Birthday Weekend @filly your food is always well controlled so I hope you enjoy a few treats too.
@Antje77 that’s the most entertaining food photo I’ve seen on here. Not a Dutch thing- I suspect many of us would automatically focus on the cat/dog/horse/goat/ chicken in the background.
Todays food
B- 2 eggs mashed with butter and cheese.
L- small leftover slice of DD keto meat pie, DGF brownie.
Mid aft- macadamia nuts. Why on earth did I buy them.
D- air fryer ‘KFC’ (recipe on my CMT) To make my portion low carb, I used the same ‘secret blend of 11 herbs and spices’ but swapped the flour for 1/2 quantity mixed oat fibre and coconut flour. In the photo Paul’s is at the back ( less salad, he hates it) and mine in front. It was nice but maybe not worth the faff. I really like airfried chicken just with salt and pepper. Couple of glasses of wine.

Friday 7 July - bed 6.8 FBG 7.2. I knew son would want to go shopping later so I delayed going out. In the meantime, I managed to wreck my drying pod! It's broken beyond repair, so I'll need to think what to get for winter.

L. Kind nut bar.

D. Salt & pepper squid again with salad. Moretti Zero and CC little chocolate pot with raspberries.

Today, Saturday 8 July, bed 7.4 FBG 7.7. Jujitsu on this morning. Odd day weather wise.

I agree. Bones are a no no for me. It's why I prefer to fillet fish myself and go over them with fish tweezers.
