My OH has been playing in a golf match today, so will be fed by his hosts. That means I fed myself.
I had saved the following, ultra, ultra simple recipe a few days ago, when I was looking for something else, but tonight it received an airing. The recipe is for lamb chops, but I did it with some chicken thighs. I marinaded a number, only a couple of which were eaten. When finished, I looked to wards the freezer, but was strong.
At only 30 minutes in the airfryer for a crispy, delicious outcome. There'll be more of these.

I'm sure it's work with lots of stuff from lamb to chicken to paneer, to even cauliflower florets.
To be honest, it's one of those delicious things that just feeds (pun intended) my laziness. Lob some yoghurt and a few spices in a bowl. Add meat and ignore for an indeterminate period.Oh now I’m going to have to do this. I love lamb and my mother, over from France, think that lamb is the only “safe” reared meat left in the world - I wonder if pan frying some cauliflower with some of that marinade would be overdoing it - let’s test that idea.
Excellent news on the scan results. Coupled with the eyes and impending lovely A1c a very successful week despite the problems. Not sure how fodmap and gout friendly the tandoori recipe is but I have passed it to the food fairy.Evening all. It’s been a rollercoaster of a week but all good now. Food wise today just water and black coffee before my scan this morning
Then a 4 hr wait until my follow up appointment so went for lunch at Bella Italia. I really fancied the low carb prawn/ veg spaghetti dish @Rachox had recently but decided against it because of the garlic. Didn’t want to asphyxiate my lovely consultant when I owe him so much!
Had Caesar salad with chicken and pancetta. Approx 10g carbs
Scan all clear. Happy days, 6 more months of jollity.
Battled home on tube, collected Dennis and shared a bottle of Moët in pub garden ( not with Dennis)
Dinner was bunless 5 Guys bacon cheeseburger because I’d got no food in and didn’t intend to cook.
@shelley262 hope all goes well for you tomorrow.
@DCUKMod I like the look of that tandoori recipe, and done in the airfryer is even better.
Sounds good to meTo be honest, it's one of those delicious things that just feeds (pun intended) my laziness. Lob some yoghurt and a few spices in a bowl. Add meat and ignore for an indeterminate period.
Grill, BBQ, air fry or roast. Demolish.
It'd also be good to marinate cauli florets, then roast/airfry, until those little charred bits form.
Nom. Nom
So difficult when the temptation us on your plate. Well done for resisting.Eaten today
A few cashew nuts
Bits dark chocolate
Black coffees
Breakfast about 8 am
Eggs and a bit cheese thrown in microwave.
Ate two slices corned beef while eggs were nuking.
Coffee with cream
Was out with friends today so had roast lunch while we were all out.
Copious variety vegetables, 2 thick slices gammon, 2 roast potatoes (I only asked for 2, but lady put 6 on my plate). I had promised myself I could have only two roast spuds. So was fighting with myself because I wanted the other 4 roast spuds as well....but I was a very very good girl and left them.
They all had a roast dinner as well, but afterwards they are having these delicious fresh cream cakes. I didn’t have any!
My reward was a perfect evening blood glucose reading for me of 7.3
Water and teas to drink
>^..^<
Edit: Also added to the above a good pinch of dried chilli flakes and ground black pepper.Yesterday’s good:
Breakfast: usual 1 slice HiLo toast, butter, tea x2.
Lunch: egg mayo and littlegem leaves
Supper: a bit of a scratch dinner as often happens on a Thursday
Fried snipped streaky bacon with a diced red pepper then added in jar Sacla Tomato & Olive concentrated jar (surprisingly LC with big flavour) needed little water from kettle to loosen spoon of black olives from jar and defrosted pack of large prawns. Served with pasta for OH and green rice for me. Really surprisingly tasty!
I used to love “thrown in microwave” it was quite endearing and made me smile!nuked in microwave

Was the ewes milk cheese the one with oregano crust? I love that cheese, a bit toomuch actually! Sorry about Hagrids knee but take it gently.Probably simple to guess my menu aside from timings. Tea and small cubes of taster cheese until 2.40. NE1 was current standard 2 xlarge flaxseed crackers, buttered spread with simple mackerel pate - whipped cream cheese and tin of mackerel fillets in EVO. Also had cucumber and vine cherry toms. Then munched some of the Ewes milk gouda. NE2 (6.40 ish) was avocado and egg salad usual suspects but added chicory - that upped the potassium nicely. Still looking after Hagrid's knee but fbg 4.8 and managed to cut the grass on the ditch bank. Felt pleased (with knee and ankle) about carrying the 20kg chicken feed bag on my shoulder until the young girl in the store carried 2 for another man.
Don't think it had an oregano crust. Twisca from the deli counter - those gels really bully me. Enjoy your meet up with your friend and the tennis. I can't warm to Federer.Was the ewes milk cheese the one with oregano crust? I love that cheese, a bit toomuch actually! Sorry about Hagrids knee but take it gently.
