@TeddyTottie @Hotpepper20000 me three! With chicken I even eat the white ‘knuckle’ bit on the end of the drumsticks x used to call them hiccups when a kid! Sure there must be some extra nutrients in there

Me four!
Airfried chicken it one of my favourite foods. Especially when eaten with my fingers.
Never heard of hiccups though @Goonergal lol.

I’ve been particularly hungry the last few days. It’s easier to eat bigger/ more meals I think, than risk snacking on bits and bobs which won’t hit the spot.
I had breakfast for a change - a cheese omelet.
Lunch was 3 air fried lamb ribs ( eaten with my fingers!)
Dinner was a take-out from an American style diner, to celebrate my dog’s birthday: char grilled chicken breast burger with cheddar and bacon, lettuce, onion and tomato plus sriracha Mayo. ( ditched the bun of course) fabulous.
@MrsA2 I do like the sound of your cheese on cheese.

Obviously hunger spreads as I’ve been ravenous today.

Lunch was an air fried poussin seasoned with Rosemary and garlic salt. Followed by Fage 0% yoghurt.

Ordered Nando’s for dinner - allowed myself some of their nuts and added Halloumi and boneless thighs. Initially kept one of the thighs for tomorrow, but it’s since been eaten. And more yoghurt!

 

[MrsA2]

Wow MrsA2, SO good you posted it three times and it sounded so yummy I liked it three times!

3 times? Short mention in "eaten today" then longer on here but where's the third?

The mods deleted them, they all appeared on the SAME post. I was just having a little joke with you, I'm guessing there was a blip in the system meaning it posted 3 times on the same thread. I haven't been stalking your posts, honest!

THAT was funny!!!!

Evening all.

OMAD+ of air fried lamb ribs coated in lemon pepper followed by Fage 0% yoghurt. Then more yoghurt in lieu of dinner as not very hungry.

Nice piece of lamb leg for tomorrow.

It is time I admitted that the kefir grains need dividing.
I hate doing it.
Feels like murder.

I’m away from home tomorrow->Easter Sunday so will have a lot less control over food, which will be a lot less Real, and will involve nut bars and assorted bought cold cuts (some of which are pretty dire, aren’t they?) and so on.
Nevermind.
Tonight is either a defrosted lamb tagine (yum) or a defrosted rogan josh (yum), the decision will be made as I walk into the kitchen. The other meals will be left for Mr B when I am gone.

So what is kefir supposed to do for me? Found an unsweetened one in asda so have dutifully drunk it but it just tastes like a sour yoghurt

The theory is I think is that fermented foods help with the gut biome

I made German Rouladen today so will have that with a Greek salad.

 

[DJC3]

I’d never heard of Rouladen @Hotpepper20000 I had to look it up, it sounds wonderful.
Today I managed to keep to 2 meals.
Scrambled eggs and avocado around lunchtime
Chuck Eye beef from the pasture fed beef farm shop with salad for dinner. I also picked up flat iron steaks, bavette steak and beef short ribs which I slow cooked in stock from last weeks bones. Reverse seared the Chuck eye - I’ve never heard of this cut but will be looking out for it again.

It sure is. But not something to be made on a weeknight takes a bit of time and easy to make keto.
Chuck eye is a common cut here and delicious.

So I bought a cows tongue from the butcher yesterday.
Any one have any good ideas?
I usually just put it in a slow cooker on low with onions and salt pepper.

We use a slow cooker to cook them as well.

Don't forget to skin it after it's cooked.

Yes. It hard not too. It looks a little too real to eat if you don’t lol

 

[Goonergal]

@DJC3 that steak looks fab
@Hotpepper20000 I’d go for the rouladen minus the mustard and pickles (fussy, me?).

I experimented with a cow’s tongue a year or so ago during Organuary. Can’t remember exactly what I did with it, but involved boiling, skinning and the slow cooker. Was underwhelmed - a bit bland, as I remember. Probably due to the chef not being up to the job, so I’ll be interested to hear how you get on. It wasn’t cheap either!

 

[Hotpepper20000]

@Goonergal i do not enjoy the pickle either. I make it without and double the bacon.
