What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[LivingLightly]

Hi All
MIA again not sure when I last appeared. Been a challenging week. Eye injection on Tuesday was complicated and the injector in frustration I suspect had a rant and made it all my fault. He even managed to bruise my cheek underneath. The new bathroom finished but the shower pump failed and needs to be replaced, not sure how long it will take. One of my cats having a tooth removed today the cost of which is alarming.
Tried to speed read all your posts. @maglil55 thanks for the chicken cacciatore recipe very useful for whole chicken legs. @ravensmitten sorry to hear about your accident and hope you are getting better and as others said I hope you will dip into this thread when you can. There’s such a nice community here.
So yesterday usual brekkie slice of LC toast, cooled with thick butter, copious tea. Lunch was two hardboiled eggs with mayo piled on top of slice LC bread.
Supper was chicken, chorizo, red pepper stirfry with paprika and cauli rice.
Today same brekkie.
Lunch eggs again, scrambled with Parmesan shavings on top.
Supper will be chunky cod fingers and broccoli.

Good to see you back @PenguinMum after a week full of incident. That eye injection alone sounds like an ordeal. I hope the bruising didn't prevent you from enjoying your chunky cod fingers and hope it doesn't keep you awake tonight.

Best wishes for a steady recovery.

B: hm full fat yoghurt, with milled seeds and 8 blackberries
(@shelley262 my yoghurt is too runny, can I reheat it and re do in the yoghurt maker for another 24 hours?)

L: 2 slices livlife bread as cheese in toast. 2 cc chocolate pots with cream.

Then planned to go out but nearest motorway closed so couldn't even get out of the village as gridlocked.
Decided to do some low carb baking... but found only had 1 egg . Made 6 lc caramel crunch cookies instead, and ate the lot over the next couple of hours. Had forgotten the gut effects of the equivalent of 10 no sugar sweets in one go. Still very bloated and windy 6 hours later,

Met friends at Indian restaurant. Had tandoori Salmon. Menu said 'and salad', but that turned out to be minimal garnish, so picked at too much sag aloo. Drank only water.

I have had many meals outside with the sun going down, in the little village in Sicily where relatives live. Vineyard just down the road and so many glasses of vino, cannot beat it. That's where I fell in love with the cooked muscles with drizzled lemon juice, fresh fish and olives. I cook so much with the Italian herbs, it takes me back to happier times. I even managed to keep my basil plant alive this year on my window sill. I love the Italian coffee but cannot tolerate it, and the biscuits are more the size of cakes! Happy times

Ah! fresh fish, lemon and olives (sigh). Know what you mean about the herbs @Lainie71. I kept forgetting to sow basil last year and really,, realy missed it. Well done for keeping yours going on a window sill. My outdoor plants always turn black of course in November,

Breakfast: spiced beef mince and peas.

2nd meal: the rest of the pork loin steaks Neil bought instead of chops. I'll bash them flat and cook as schnizzel using ground walnuts and some herbs as the "breading". No veg - surely what I had so far is enough for the day.

The tip mrs mitten gave me was to go around touching as many things as possible, and rubbing it with my other fingers, fabric etc as it trains the sensation to feel somewhat normal again. This is really interesting, and it's exactly what my neighbour's hand therapist told him after he mangled...

Lunch was large chunk of mature cheddar and 4 small water biscuits. Tea.
Supper will be crispy roasted chicken legs with Poetobellow mushrooms.

I am going over to the parallel thread from here on

It doesn't have to be either / or
I use both, food here, chat about other things there

It doesn't have to be either / or

Seems the perfect solution.
Also the reason for the two threads with their distinctive purpose.

Just so I don’t derail this thread, today I have eaten
Breakfast : 4 walnut halves and a tablespoonful of Full fat Fage yogurt, black coffee x2
Lunch: slice of toast from Serious Low Carb loaf, (thank you to the regulars here, who informed me about this brand, it really has liberated me, a toast addict that had been feeling deprived) with butter, and a small piece of cheddar , decaf black coffee
Dinner : sea bass, pan fried in butter, with lemon and parsley garnish, green beans, sugar free tonic, with a slice of lemon, and an imaginary shot of gin.

 

[MrsA2]

Edited, venison, not version!

Nibbling day today, not planned just how it's panning out .

No breakfast but thought I shouldn't go shopping hungry so had a few lc cheese biscuits that I made yesterday and a cwc

Early lunch, an avocado with some homemade kimchi . A proper full sugar Portuguese egg custard tart. (Not proud of myself, no reason just no self control)
Late lunch , a venison burger with a little more kimchi. A lc hot chocolate

No dinner as such, just a few more cheese biscuits and a brandy

I was lucky yesterday, went to my neighbour for a beer and got a perfect low carb meal!
Crispy chicken legs, eaten standing at the stove, directly from the pot, very easy on the washing up.
Any drips of fat and fallen pieces were cleaned up by dogs and cats right away too.

Before bed I had a strategic portion of crisps without insulin to prevent the usual lows every time I sleep at my neighbour's place, which worked out perfectly.

 

[Annb]

Breakfast: Mulligatawny soup.

2nd meal: Haddock, breaded with walnut, onion powder, salt and oregano mixture made yesterday.
