me too, but was still losing weight, so all that cheese wasn't doing me any good.I was just wondering if I was eating too much cheese...I could eat it almost every meal...
I love that opinion. I could eat cheese until the cows come home...

no, Seriously, we used to collect them from some rocky beaches in south wales.and mussels
Have had this happen to me, cant remember how it came out that they were relations though. Do remember being furiousThat’s appalling ! The estate agent should never have booked the viewing. The other thing I’ve wondered is that if interest is low and they haven’t got many bookings in, they’ll just send friends or relations round pretending to be buyers, but actually just so you think the estate agt is doing a good job.
Some of them never really do. There's an ex drug detection dog in this village (not one of mine) and this dog 'indicates' at anyone carrying drugs which seems to be half the people in this village. It caused a bit if a stir until it was pointed out that she was a failed sniffer dog.... she's a lovely girl though.

We liked the Oliver Cromwell pub, some interesting stuff in there, beer and food was tolerable as well.Wpw. St Ives is basically where I live atm although not for much longer.
That is a very nice pub in a really nice part of the town. Glad you enjoyed it.We liked the Oliver Cromwell pub, some interesting stuff in there, beer and food was tolerable as well.
And Porky Mcporkface as a big lump - pay attention at the back we did that yesterdayI thought it was oysters that shouldn’t be eaten when there’s no r in the month.

I did think that this weekend I would get away without making a cake, but I have a request for that too. Have to start baking early tomorrow. I have no idea what kind - chocolate ganache cake usually goes down well, although I can't have any of it. Why do I torment myself this way?
why not switch to low carb baking ? the results are just as nice, although the ingredients are more expensive. worth it though, if it stops the 'torture' and allows you to have some.
having said that, i am afraid i am much less kind than youi am happy to do stuff for people, but not happy to have expectations laid on me. so i would probably smile sweetly and say 'sorry, not in a position to bake those cakes anymore. i could bring something low carb, or make a financial donation instead...?'
People never seem to object.
As mentioned in my earlier post, brunch was 2 eggs baked in my tomato and basil sauce. Yum!
Dinner was a chicken breast I found in the freezer - no idea why I bought it because I don't like chicken breast, but it had to be used. There were 4 of them. I marinaded them in lemon and yoghurt then baked them and served with bacony brussels sprouts. That still leaves 3 baked off chicken breasts which I don't fancy eating.
Luckily a friend called this evening and invited me to a pot luck lunch tomorrow. I will take the chicken breasts in the form of lemon and turmeric chicken with veggies.

Sadly, I can't take most gluten free products. I can use coconut flour but so far, haven't made a successful cake with it - wheat flour seems to be needed to make it work. Can't eat almonds, so many of the delicious sounding choc/almond cakes are not for me. Also can't take any artificial sugars that I have found so far (Stevia is the absolute worst). My best bet is just to keep going. I suppose I torment myself because I get a kick when people enjoy my food even though I can't share it. Anyway, I may be becoming like my old father did and enjoy martyrdom in my old age.
The chocolate cake is now baked and cooling, ready for finishing off. The lemon and turmeric chicken is done and ready to go. Haven't had breakfast yet but I'm beginning to get hungry so will do some scrambled egg. Stomach still a bit dodgy after Friday's trauma, but that's par for the course when something has made my system react. Usually takes about 3 days to sort itself out.
Goodness knows what lunch will be. Depends what other people bring along. Last time I went to one of these lunches I had a chicken dish which a lovely Nigerian lady had made - very spicy but seemed suitable. However, she wouldn't say what was in it except "it was made with a lot of love". I was ill for days afterwards and I still don't know what was in it. Maybe I'll have a little of my own dish.
