Wow!!! Sadly for me he died long before I was bornI saw T Rex live at Lewisham Odeon in (I think) 1970 or 71. I had stuck silver self adhesive stars in my hair to match the silver stars on my huge flares and platforms. (I can very clear remember the absolute agony of getting those stars out of my hair.) Marc Bolan was amazing - i can't really say i heard T Rex actually play because the screaming was so loud.
No problem. I haven't used carob or locust bean by the way.Hello all,
Woke up with a gigantic headache around 5 a.m. -- probably due to little food, too much red wine and not drinking enough water. Drank some water and had an ibuprofen and went back to bed.
@zauberflote and @DJC3 -- Yes, it was a very large serving of protein, probably about 300g to 400g of shrimps and chicken. Next time, I will probably only use about half of this.
@maglil55 -- Your low-carb tempura sounds intriguing. I probably missed this, but could you share the recipe?
Another question for all of you. I saw some carob gum/locust bean gum in the grocery store and bought it. It has only very few carbs and can be used as a thickening agent. Have any of you used this before? What was your experience?
Today's food ...
Upon waking up, some chicken liver pate (about 30g).
Breakfast: Two double decaffeinated espressos with cream and erythritol.
Lunch: A salad of lamb's lettuce, Ranch dressing, grated Gouda and three baby tomatoes.
Dinner: A small serving of konjak noodles with eggplant, Thai basil and chicken in coconut milk and green curry. No wine today.
I'm a big fan of the veggie tempura and I've used cauliflower, courgette, mushroom, carrot batons, aubergine, broccoli - most things really. Mussels should work and prawns, scallops but favourite is squid. I buy them whole, get hubby to clean and get the membrane off then I cut into rectangles and cut the criss cross on the back so it curls when fried. It is really easy. If you want most flavour to it you can add about 1/2 teaspoon of powdered stock such as chicken or powdered dashi if you have it.Thanks, @maglil55. This really doesn't sound too difficult and I almost have everything at home already with the exception of the whey protein isolate.
Probably zucchini (courgette), mushrooms, snow peas, shrimp, sardines, mussels may work well -- what do you think?
Ziggy, having consulted Wiki, it looks like some may have unwittingly had it at some time. I can't say it rings any bells in my world!Hello all,

I have tried a variety of things;I used to deep fry courgette in tempura and may do so again now I've found a low carb tempura. It was another Italian favourite - courgette and aubergine fries. Do you coat them in anything for the actifry? (Yes I have an actifry).
@BibaBee sorry Mr B is having a tough time recovering from eye treatment. Must be scary. I am still waiting for hospital appt after they werent happy with my retinopathy on Jan 31.
