What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)


I can believe that! We had a pull out ironing board in our last house too - great idea and I don’t know why they aren’t seen more often. Having said that I don’t seem to do much ironing at all these days.
 
Lunch yesterday: Cold barbequed chook pieces that were marinated the day before.
Dinner: Pork chops and veggies, brown onion gravy.
Breakfast: Cheese and mushroom omelette, bacon, tomatoes, reheated spudlite.

Drinks: Black coffee no sugar / sweeteners, lots of water.

One of our ironing boards ended up as a fish cleaning / filleting board, just the right height for our two boys at the time.
 

Very odd. I have only an ancient (c 1950's) heavyweight folding freestanding ironing board that I picked up while in high school late 60's. It's taller than my kitchen counters! Is is customary to use a fillet knife at eye level? (assuming younger kids?)
 
I have a question. A friend has sent me a recipe for a ‘gluten free Japanese cheesecake.’ I know, it sounds unlikely. She saw it on German tv, said the presenter kept going back to it and sneaking more pieces, he thought it was so delicious.
It doesn’t look too bad carb wise. It does have 15 gm of cornflour in it, and 2 x 35 gm sugar. Could the sugar be replaced by Erythritol? And is the cornflour too terrible considering that the (quite small) cake is probably about 6 portions?
If it sounds likely I’ll translate it and put it on my CMT.
 
@Viv19 pretty sure erythritol would work 1:1 replacement. Maybe almond flour for the corn flour? The rest would be cream cheese and um seaweed?
 
Sorry @Tipetoo I was imagining 10-11 year olds and trying to make the non-American ironing board height fit that. So it was an extra work surface where needed most! I wasn't meaning to sound snarky, mea culpa many apologies please forgive me?
 
@zauberflotte, my Grandsons who are staying with us on their gap year from uni in West Oz, are in their twenties as well, not little ankle biters.
 
Hi, which LC bread/ rolls do you use?

Almond flour is already used in the cake - My friend (having watched the programme) said the cornflour was to add lightness to the whole. If there are six (maybe 8 portions) altogether, that would be a little over 2 carbs extra per slice. Not too much of a sin is it? Wasn’t sure how much Erythritol so thanks.
I’ll translate this and put it onto my CMT.
No seaweed, I haven’t a clue why they have called it a Japanese cheesecake- the Germans make so many good ones.


Ok done that. It’s now on my CMT, same name. I’ll try it out soon.

Hunger has not returned, but I am not one for extended fasting. Especially when inflammation is blocking any weight loss. So will continue with small regular meals until my appetite for bigger, less regular, fare returns.
 

That would drive me insane...I am glad I cannot hear the doorbell then...

All this talk of ironing boards prompted a conversation with Mr C. I know where my ironing board is as I use it most days (not for ironing) but I haven't got a clue where the actual iron is. Turns out he took it to work with him, forgot to bring it home and now thinks someone took it out of his desk?!?!? I can't imagine why he might want an iron at work and why someone might then 'permanently borrow' it.

Hi, which LC bread/ rolls do you use?

Hi Icarter. I don’t think it will help you much because I live in Germany. The bread is a protein bread from Mestemacher, with 3.8 gm carbs per slice (.9 gm being sugar). Lots of seeds, very yummy. The ‘roll’ (very flat and pre sliced) is from Aldi, says it’s also a protein bread, with 8.4 gms a roll (1 gm being sugar).
I expect others can suggest local sources, though it is worth checking out Aldi.
 
Greater love have no woman for her man but to consent to jame making when it has never before been tackled. It seems making a mean lemon curd is ace training and it'll be just fine.

Rhubarb and Ginger jam is in it's early stages - in other words, it'll be going on in about 15 minutes.

Of course, in age old styleeee one won't exactly be following a recipe, but it'll either be glorified stewed rhubarb, or a pretty coloured brink in a glass jar.

No sweepstakes please.
 

I think jam making smells delicious. How is the rhubarb/ginger?
