Little mic muffin with brie, avocado and ham
Same for lunch with the other half of the avocado, which kept beautifully wrapped in cling-film
Salmon fried in butter, medium, cauliflower and green beans
Stracchiatella cake with cream
Bedtime 5.9 - am fasting 6.6...
I'm going to try @SableJan's mixed nut trick tonight... Can't wait to see your fasting number today Sable... :)

Today was the same as yesterday but lunch will be poached salmon with a fennel salad and supper will be steak and veg, and I will try mixed nuts!

Here's a new one - low-carb BLT:

4 large eggs
4 slices streaky bacon chopped, fried till crisp and drained on kitchen paper
1 iceberg lettuce
1/2 cup (4 fl oz) ranch dressing (whatever that is - I use mayonnaise)
2 chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup (?) blue cheese, crumbled - feta is nice too...
salt and pepper

Place eggs in a pan, cover with cold water, bring to the boil and cook for 1 minute; put the lid on the pan and remove from the heat... 8.-10 minutes
Put under running cold water and peel when cool - dice....
Cut the iceberg into 16 wedges
Top the wedges with mayo (or ranch dressing), tomatoes, blue cheese, bacon and egg, and season with salt and pepper to taste...
Enjoy... :)

Thank you IncyWincy... it sounds so good... I have tomatoes coming out of the garden in kilos, so I am going to stash some of them as passata... my Sri Lankan friend tells me she freezes the big ones, takes them out and runs them under the hot water tap, the skin comes off and she chops them frozen for her curries... no mess either... :) Clever eh? What with learning about freezing mango slices and frozen grapes I think we have a wide pool of knowledge on here! :p

I had a very similar meal in Sorrento a couple of years ago - but it was flaked cod not crab.

VERY clever freezing the tomatoes! It takes me ages to peel 6 or 7 of them when I make ratatouille. I drop them into boiling water for a couple of minutes but it's very messy / fiddly.

I always leave the skins on but that's a useful tip for those who dont. How long do uncooked tomatoes keep in the freezer? I've always cooked mine first

I've heard its quicker if you push into a fork and hold over a gas flame turning til all the skin has crisped/loosened then just peel off, vaguely remember it working yonks ago....

I wouldn't think my friend keeps them in there for long... she makes curries every day... :) I will ask her though... She's been stealing mine while I've been away, so she's had about 9 days' worth... I bet they're all gone... :)

I went to Provence and expected wall to wall ratatouille but didn't see it on any menu :(

I've only ever made 1 ratatouille recipe - it is so good I don't need to experiment with others - and it said peel the tomatoes, so I did, but now I'm wondering why because I guess it doesn't really make any difference to the finished dish! :confused:

If anyone wants it I'll type the recipe up. It's from an Irish cook book: A Year At Avoca.

Try ranch dressing when you get the chance, my American brother in law living in Bangkok has it, tasty alternative to Mayo, not sure on the ingredients/ good for LC though, will tell you in July :)

I don't enjoy Trotters pork scratchings either.

Have you tried the Posh ones? Mind you, depends on whether you want to remortgage, or not.

Today has been interesting.

B: mushrooms and egg cooked in butter. Needed something added, but I couldn't work out what. Umami? Worcester? Garlic? :wacky: Not sure. May try again tomorrow.

L: crustless quiche. Eggs again. May be repercussions...

D: KFC. Dashing to puppy class. No time. Most unfortunate. Gave Mr B all my chips and peeled the crusty coating bits off my chicken pieces. But of course, that means I will be hungry again later. So will probably have berries and cream. :D

Haha funnily enough I am currently remortgaging for a side extension, shall I up my mortgage amount!

I had the posh ones before these, just thought I'd try a few variations, if it's good enough for Beckham
