Yes they’re fine. If the sauerkraut is too sour, it becomes milder if you cook it longer.
Thank you very much. I’ll give that a go, sounds delicious. The only juniper berries I’ve seen are the dried ones - will they be ok?
Well done - especially the trig improvement!
Evening all. Bit better food wise today.
Brunch was 3 rashers bacon, 2 fried eggs and some grated cheese at the cafe near work. Afternoon snack of 20g Tesco 85% chocolate. So much easier to moderate intake when the chocolate belongs to someone else.
Dinner was large portion of slow cooked lamb shoulder shanks. Then a dessert of 30g Montezumas 100% with orange and cocoa nibs almost melted in the microwave and mixed with double cream to form a mousse.
@DJC3 my eggs have not arrived yet. They’re being delivered to work, so will leave one there over the weekend to exercise some portion control.
@Viv19 congrats on the blood results.
Congratulations on blood test results @Viv19. I see on the news Cornish donkeys have become mysteriously bereft of hind legs today - @DJC3 and @PenguinMum did you see anything which may help? So today was no B, tea and soya cocoa until NE1 or lunch. That was mackerel and avocado salad with acv and EVO vinaigrette. The taste of the vinaigrette has always been a favourite even pre LC - can't think of any other LC flavour that comes close for me. NE2 was short rib casserole/stew thingy - functional but well below the salad in enjoyment. Only had red meat 2 days running because a visitor was staying over.
@DJC3 glad the fodmap information was helpful. Good to know I/we have a clue about one way of eating because this remains a mystery.
ACV= apple cider vinegar; EVO = Extra virgin olive oil. Absent avocado, almost all else is irrelevantThanks Ianpspurs.
Translation please acv and EVO?

A post so good you named it twiceCome to think of it no hind legs on donkeys in our vicinity!
Matching fodmaps and lchf eating is a bit of a pain isn’t it? She’s going back to the smoke today and won’t be moving here permanently until mid Aug, so I’m hoping she’ll have got a better handle on it by then and will have figured out what works for her, then we can try to tackle joint eating plans - even if it means just cooking a much bigger variety of veg so we can all pick and choose.
Food eaten today:
Two boiled eggs wrapped in ham.
Some bits chocolate
Two crisp bread and butter.
1 homemade scone and butter
A piece of fish without batter.
Some bits chocolate
Coffee with cream x2
Tea with cream
Water with pinch salt. Water with lemon.
I think that is it...
>^..^<
I have an image of you attempting to wrap eggs in ham - it can’t be easy.
A post so good you named it twiceGood luck getting your head round fodmap and most versions of lchf. I think we have been really helped by accepting we will mostly eat quite different meals and frequently at different times because that is how our systems operate best. Biggest problem for us is eating out - I would happily just have a cup/pot of tea while Julie eats but apparently she feels uncomfortable with that. Suits me perfectly not eating out but maybe if we move Julie could eat out with DILs. Best wishes for solving the riddle and hugs to your daughter - it is an evil condition. At least I am just about navigating lc/T2 - IBS just seems to flare out of nowhere how ever much care Julie takes.
Julie has IBS, I am just intolerant - absolutely no tests needed. Good to hear medics eventually diagnosed your issues.Who has the IBS, you or Julie? I ask because I was supposed to have that. Discovered after over 20 years that I was lactose intolerant, and also a couple of odd food intolerances - pineapple and real vanilla, the latter appearing more and more often as foodies replace the old cheap imitations with the real stuff. I can only eat the imitation stuff. A blood test indicated the culprits.
Can't disagree on that although the very rubbish food is definitely in Farmfoods.Iceland is definitely going more upmarket. Their seafood selection is very good. They also sell some really rubbish food though.
We couldn’t agree where to have breakfast after leaving the ferry so we didn’t.
Tea. Cwc
Lunch cod fried in butter, broccoli, a tomato in with the cod. I fancied some tartar sauce but there wasn’t any chez Dad, so I had some coleslaw instead. Raspberries and blueberries with Greek yoghurt.
Evening. LC bread with ham and cheese. 50 gm strawberries with double cream (yes! while I’m in England I’m eating that.) and yoghurt.
