Great memories

It was Key Markets before it was Gateway. My favourite task was packaging/weighing/pricing the huge trays of sliced ox liver.

Apparantly, Somerfield was originally Gateway! Not sure if there are many Somerfields around anymore for that matter either

Haven't seen a Somerfields for yonks

B: ran out of yoghurt so just berries and cream today, coffee with cream
L: feta cheese salad
D: not sure, might have some pork loin steaks and have now replenished my yoghurt supplies, so you berries and cream later, hurrah!
Snack: date and walnut bar and tried a coyo yoghurt as recommended by Brunneria

I love this topic!

B... butter, 4 mushrooms, more butter, 2 eggs, 2 dozen spinach leaves, crumbled feta cheese, with side of 2 strips bacon and a coffee.
L... 7 ounce can tuna, 3 T mayonnaise, 6 bread and butter pickles - (half for today, half for tomorrow) - with two slices extra sharp cheddar melted on top; 0.35 ounce 70% cocoa chocolate; water
S... 1 red bell pepper sliced with Ranch dressing on the side; water
D... butter, saffola oil, 1 boneless pork chop, added red wine and mustard for sauce; 8 asparagus topped with sliced extra sharp cheddar; 0.35 ounce 70% cocoa chocolate; water
S... butter, egg; 2 link sausage; chamomile tea

I know this seems like a lot of food but this is Day 5 for me on the LCHF diet, and I'm trying to eat enough to not feel hungry, also to eat at least one vegetable at or between meals.

Tonight I bought 2% plain greek yogurt with active cultures. I need ideas on what to eat with it.

I like the red and wine mustard idea, was struggling today to make a sauce for my pork loin steak... ended up plain...

Just had my blood test results today and it's 46 from 54 just after Christmas. That's thanks to low carb. Just thought I'd share.x

 

[Brunneria]

B: coffeencream with lemon stracciatella cake
L: taramosalata and munchy seeds
D: baked salmon, mange touts onion bhaji and a strange DIY almost-hollandaise. Didn't have time to stop for a recipe hunt. So botched it. Fine at the time, but I'm afraid it has demogrified back into its constituent parts now. Delish though.

Tomorrow is Valentines.
Mr B has declared that the ultimate gustatory delight that he can imagine is a pub breakfast.
(It is an awesome breakfast that happens to be available in a pub...)
Looking forward to it.
I will have the omelette. Served flat, the size of a small dinner plate, with sausage, bacon, black pudding, mushrooms and grated cheese, after flash grilling.

Shouldn't need anything else til dinner. If then...

That reminds me, I would NEVER in a million years have thought to try celery with cream cheese BUT its actually quite scrummy, filling and satisfying

Try piling peanut butter in the little grooves, too...

Well done... that's fantastic... it just gets better...

LOL my first job, aged 17, was with Gateway. Butchers assistant - Friday evening and all day Saturday. Decent pay, got myself a stereo system.

We had a dear little one just down the road, but it's a CoOp now... alright in an emergency, but not the same...

I like the red and wine mustard idea, was struggling today to make a sauce for my pork loin steak... ended up plain...

A nice sauce to go with pork: after you cook the pork and it's resting, a little white wine to de-glaze the pan so you get all the goodness, cook the alcohol off for a bit then stir in cream and wholegrain mustard... I caramalise a couple of slices of apple, cored in some butter to have with pork chop too - then de-glaze with cider or wine and a part of a Kallo stock cube, reduce and stir a big knob of butter into it till it's glossy... I like sage so a little goes in too - or rosemary... Now I'm really hungry...

I seem to be surviving on M&S cold stuff - poached salmon, smoked salmon canapés, ham, goat's cheese and salad... I did some proper shopping this afternoon, but I'm too jet-lagged to cook, so salad and salmon again... I'm going to have berries and lactose-free cream (which will be the first time I've eaten it) and a hot chocolate to take up to bed... I've been awake since 2.30am and I cannot stay awake much longer...

B: Green tea with lemon. Coffee with butter whisked in (coconut oil still hasn't arrived). 2 poached eggs with guacamole.
L: Tuna cheese melt with gherkin and tomato
T: Double pepperoni pizza (topping only), with ranch salad (basically coleslaw). Slice of cake with cream (see below)
S: Some pistachios, some jelly and cream and a slice of stracciatella cake - thanks @Brunneria
D: Water and 1 tea with lactofree, diet coke


Pizza, ranch salad and straccliatella cake

What did you use for your pizza base?

 

[mehhh2015]

My menu today:

B: 1min flax bun with ham, cheese, mustard and mayo. Diet coke.
L: 3.5oz pork loin steak, green salad and cream cheese.
S: 2 sips of decaf coffee with a splash of milk... I didn't like (don't know what's happening but all coffee is tasting horrible to me this week)
5 almonds. A teeny tiny piece of 85% chocolate.
D: Baked aubergine (mmmmmm) topped with tomato, avocado, coriander and feta cheese with olive oil and apple cider vinegar. 3oz of tuna.
S: to be decided...

Couldn't face coffee in the morning... because instead of proper cream I was using Elmlea (picked it up quickly at the corner shop... it's NOT cream, is a cream substitute... yuck!!!!!) I think I will be going back to a little bit of milk as I think it doesn't spike me and tastes better.

What did you use for your pizza base?

Have to confess, it's an ASDA create your own stonebake pizza, but I scrape the topping off. It's cheating really but this used to be a weekend staple for us and I couldn't bring myself to break this habit. I'm too lazy to make one but if I did it would be the cauliflour base, I will try it one day!
Don't really miss the bread cause it's the topping that does it for me but I do miss having something to pick it up with e.g the base, now I have to use a knife and fork!

I'm really confused by your pizza... is it real pizza then? I use sliced courgette on baking paper... but yes I normally would love to have proper bread if having a pizza, I'm not keen on any of the substitutes I've tried and can't be bothered with all the cooking for something I won't enjoy... having real pizza though it's just not gonna happen soon...
