"What have you eaten" Parallel Chat

There's something called a "semi fredo" which is a frozen dessert, served slightly mushy. I call any mixture like yours a semi-fredo and my guests think I'm wonderfully skilled! I hope you find someone nice who really deserves Neil's semi fredo

I Googled the recipe and it seems quite difficult to me. How do you cook it?

I loved the video call with you this evening, @Zhnyaka , and we could understand eachother much better than either of us expected!
I think it's amazing that the internet allows us to speak with people around the world.

I also think you have the coolest cat, biting you on camera because you chose to talk to me after coming home from work instead of giving her your undevided attention.

Thank you very much! now I don't think my English is terrible. Мore precisely, my English is, of course, terrible, but it is sufficient for understanding

My cat took offense at me for talking to you instead of playing with her (considering that I recently went to St. Petersburg for a week and left her to my parents), and I had to apologize by playing into the night

Hello again everyone! Antje77 very kindly messaged to ask if I was ok, and that has reminded me that I've neglected one of my favourite social media avenues for far too long!

I've been awful with my diet and honestly can't bring myself to share what I've eaten sometimes (but yeah, 2l of ice cream in a day on occasions - I really try not to buy the stuff now) so fell out of the habit of coming here.

I think I fall into the category of completely incorrigible and I've come to realise that I'm never really going to miraculously reinvent myself diet-wise. But it doesn't have to be miraculous, right? I don't have to be perfect. My new hobby is growing vegetables, and I'm lucky enough to have a fairly big garden so vegetables are beginning to feature much more in my diet now. Well, runner beans and French beans, at least, as they're fully in season.

I apologise for not being up to date with everyone's posts and happenings, hope you are all doing well x

Breakfast - a bit late because I didn't want to move too much - was sliced hard boiled egg and sliced tomato with 2 lentil crackers and a little mayo. Weak black tea.

Probably will have something later. There's cold chicken to make into something but no salads left until Neil can go shopping for me next Thursday. I do have other veggies though, so will come up with something. It will have to be something easy and quick though, or I won't be able to stand up for long enough.

One side of my neck is painful now, along with the corresponding ear. Very slight swelling too. Some glandular infection I guess. I guess I'm just what used to be called "run down".

Sorry to hear this @Annb, there are some nasty cold/flu things going around - I recently had one that lasted three weeks and for the first four days I was lying in bed groaning! Hope yours goes away quickly x

A good day here, I got some work done in the garden - planted up some blueberry bushes, some more dwarf French beans in my mini polytunnel to keep a crop coming in late autumn and some fast-growing peas with the hopes that they'll crop before the weather turns.

Lately I've been struggling with gastric issues when I eat breakfast - admittedly if I don't overeat it's not really bad. But not overeating is a struggle too! Intermittent fasting needs to be back in my life, I think.

Breakfast was two eggs and two Staffordshire oatcakes with a sprinkle of cheese. Should have been one oatcake of course!

No lunch

Dinner is stir fried chicken thigh meat with half a cup of rice (cooked volume) and runner beans from the garden.

I'll have some Greek yogurt for afters.

I don't follow any particular recipe. I just freeze leftovers (or disasters) and serve semi defrosted calling it semi fredo as a bit of a joke. Sorry!

B: just full fat greek yoghurt
Early yoga
Then off to bbq event so early lunch
2 burgers, 1 sausage, lettuce tomatoes
2 mini muffins
Then 2 hour walk, usually far quicker but friend with me proved to get breathless so took it slow
D: cold burger, cold sausage, 2 slices cheddar. Salad. Small coffee ice cream
1 brandy.

Very tired. Busy day tomorrow too.

Yesterday evening, I reheated the cooked chicken breast with onion and canned tomatoes to make a kind of thin stew. I even dished it out onto a plate, and then decided I didn't want to eat after all. It's still there in the pot and I'm wondering if I can make a chicken and tomato soup with it.

Breakfast was 3 lentil crackers with egg mayo piled on top. Black tea.

No plans for any other meals today.

Had to run some errands today so no gardening yet but might potter around later.

No breakfast

Lunch eaten slowly over 2 hours
2 Chicken thighs, half a buttered bread roll with lettuce (from the garden), mild chili and mayonnaise
2 Seafood sticks with the other half of the buttered bread roll with lettuce, mild chili and mayonnaise
Buttered crumpet
Coffee
Diet coke

So far so good for eating slowly over time, rather than scoffing quickly - much reduced gastric issues and I also feel satisfied sooner.

I know it's not really low carb but believe it or not, for me it is! Reducing the volume of food is important for me as well, this is half of what I would normally consume.

If I eat dinner I think I'll have more chicken with a vegetable stir fry.

Hope everyone is having a great day x

First thing I started preparing a dessert ready for lunch time, a low carb cheesecake but on a real biscuit base. However it all started seeping out the loose bottomed tin so ended up cooking the base and topping separately . Looked really messy but tasted good!

B: 2 cold sausages

L: gammon with low carb cauliflower cheese, carrots and roasted peppers. Carb eaters had new potatoes. Starter was prawn cocktail. Lc cheesecake as above.

Then hubby decided he wanted to bake, so served proper rock buns. I had 2 small ones. So hard to say no. At least our guests ate all the rest! Grandad who is t2 and 90 soon, ate 7!!!

6pm a coffee rum.
