The pork knuckle is first boiled with seasoning for 2 1/2 hours, then crisped up under a grill to make the fat more crunchy. But that part depends on the cook/restaurant. Good with sauerkraut and beer. I eat sauerkraut but don’t like beer or such fatty meat. [emoji1]

Oh no, not my taste. Too much fat, too much meat, too much everything!

Thanks Goonergal. My eyes are definitely at half mast. I have to admit, I’ve never had pork crackling in my life. I mean this stuff that turns up in packets. But everyone is eating it! I’ve had some crispy roasted pork skin once in a blue moon, but never the other. Goonergal, I really recommend...

A terrible night’s ‘sleep’, finally gave up at 5.30. Tea - just sometimes I wish I could sweeten it slightly at times like this. Physio- she nearly killed me! Coffee and yoghurt w berries Lunch LC bread with Camembert and cambanzola. Also some squares of Gouda. Tea and coffee this afternoon...

I know this careful personality from my parents. My mother had diabetes, which I thought was totally unfair as she was the most moderate person with sweet stuff I’ve ever met. Dad too. One square of chocolate, or 1 chocolate a day from the box, if any happened to be in the house. Never more than...

7 last night. After an awful night with hardly any sleep , 6.8. [emoji33] at 5.45.

Funny you should say that Chook. I’ve been looking at the Salter pie maker that I bought 3 years ago, after long deliberation, wondering who on earth to give it to. I love pies, curry puffs in Jamaica- a brilliant fast food- and meat pies in Oz. Now it’s just for decoration- or the store room.

I’ve never heard of that. Just read up- that’s amazing. Yet another sweetener to source! But bearing in mind maglil, that the sugar preserves the mix, what would you use for that? Gin/vodka? [emoji28]

I’ve tried it making the meatballs as close to the usual recipe as possible. It didn’t work. We were not amused.

I have been known to eat frozen cake from the freezer when desperate for a fix.

I’ve just found a recipe for low carb sunflower seed bread. I need cream cheese so I can’t make it today but might go now and make the sunflower seed flour and golden linseed flour in advance. Put it on CMT.

Thanks for the info Maglil

A low undercarriage can be difficult [emoji1]

You have more self control than I do then. Much as I love the sound of this cake, since OH is not interested in much sweet stuff, guess who eats it? That’s possibly how I ended up in this mess in the first place. [emoji33] I’m good with total denial (that’s how I gave up smoking years ago) but...

Or good care by your mum!

No! I don’t dare buy any chocolate. I know how pathetic my self control is.
