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!

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! :)

Definitely a blip somewhere, blip somewhere, blip somewhere ;)
 
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. :D The other meals will be left for Mr B when I am gone.
 
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. IMG_1616882445.386550.jpg

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.
 
@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!
