Hi @Magfit and welcome to this thread. I read on another thread how good this book is and I’m now tempted to buy it. Especially having seen the Caldesis talk at the PHC conference earlier this year. Do they give carb counts for their recipes?
Eek- here goes my first post!
Breakfast was lardons fried in olive oil and my first no- carb home made baguette. I got the recipe from my new cook book: Katie and Giancarlo Caldesi’s The Diabetes Weightloss Cookbook. The bread is made with almond flour, psyllium husk powder and egg whites. I put 6tbsp of sunflower seeds. I have only done a few recipes but I love this book! I am on 49 on diabetes marker and a good few stone overweight. Have lost weight recently - about half a stone which has cheered me up so much. I also feel calm and happy- I’m thinking this low carb diet is working for me. Hi everyone!!!
Nah - no hugs for Hubby. The victim of very strong, dark german beer. He did say it was nice at the time. I allowed him to have 2 additional sleeps today while I went off with SIL & BIL.Hug is for your poor husband and also for your hip and leg.
@maglil55 fascinated by the wedding guest in the pineapple suit and the breakfasters barefoot in their pjs. Last night in a renowned and traditional restaurant there was a girl in my eyeline wearing a strip of material which barely covered her n***les and lady bits and nothing else. TG she was wearing underwear Sometimes I feel I am another species!
Yesterdays food:
Breakfast: small slice HiLo toast, butter, tea x1
No lunch as travelling but bottles of water, 2 small oatcakes.
Dinner: (out)a soft as butter sirloin steak a few leaves and a tomato. 2 glasses excellent Spanish red. Lots of water.
The tummy issues have finally resolved and the bloating gone. The nourishment of a good steak did me good I think. Out to dinner in a fish restaurant tonight wonder what the dress etiquette will be there!
What will your first meal be? Chicken wings? Halloumi chips a la @Brunneria ? Lamb chops?
See, he was duped by dodgy German beer.Nah - no hugs for Hubby. The victim of very strong, dark german beer. He did say it was nice at the time. I allowed him to have 2 additional sleeps today while I went off with SIL & BIL.
Evening all.
Welcome to the thread @Magfit glad low carb seems to be working for you.
@DCUKMod if the cream is an IP creation I might be getting more interested.
@DJC3 pleased you found the recipe.
OMAD today. Long, slow walk along the Thames which involved some unexpected free drinks. Wandered into the Doubletree in Bermondsey in search of a loo/drink and spotting an open door to a terrace with people drinking, wandered in only to find it was the executive lounge with a fridge full of free drinkswould have been rude not to
Just polished off slow cooked beef short rib. Yum.
In other news, am eagerly awaiting the arrival of this (why do all of them have pictures of chips?!)

Not much good to me as I do not wear pygamas and I am not people friendly in the morning. I go to bed in my underpants. I cannot see the point in getting undressed then dresssing again for bed.Anyone ever gone down to a hotel breakfast in their PJ's?
I hate to tell you this Goonergal, but the answer is a big, fat "Yes"!
To be fair, I reckon it could be done in the slow cooker. All you need to do isheat the cream to c82c, then keep it warm for 8-10 hours, so the heating could be done on the hob, then transferred to the slow cooker, on low? It could be worth a whirl, but then when you read @Bruneria 's review of Moo Grob and it's deliciousness, you may teeter on the edge.
The Moo Grob can be done without an IP, but it just makes it much, much quicker.
Oh dear. At this rate I’ll need to ditch the gas oven (currently used mainly as an oversized plate warmer) to make space for all the gadgets
Depends when it arrives. Due at the collection point tomorrow. I have some lamb ribs (never cooked them before but they looked nice) so if it arrives in time for my evening meal, will give those a whirl. Otherwise maybe chicken wings and halloumi fries on Monday.
Am impressed that any of the choc squares are left. Seriously moreish.
Oh. Be still my heart.
Moo Grob. Thank you @DCUKMod
No pics cos I was digging in.
35 mins in IP, 15 mins in oven (but will use airfryer turned v low next time. You can have far too much watching up, you know). Then 15mins on 180 in airfryer.
Also have 3 more portions cooling ready for stages 2 and 3.
Oh, and nearly forgot, B was a muffinless maccies egg sausage macmuffin after a wonderfull dog walk.
Amazing how a treat focusses the mind on bringing the ball back...
And L was 3 airfryer egg cups, like these. Basically mini quiches. 6 fit into the airfryer tray, and they only take 11 mins. My version was courgette, tom, peppers, chorizo and goatscheese for Mr B, with just chorizo and goatscheese for me. 7 eggs made 12 cups, so only 2/3rds egg per cup. I will encourage Mr B to eat 3 of them, plus beans, or sausage, or another protein. While my batch is veg-less so ok alone for 2-3 as a smallish meal.

The only thing I can think of it's another flash name for cut up mutton flaps or breast of lamb as they are sometimes called.I bet lamb ribs would be good, but I’ve never seen them anywhere.

By the look of the ribs in this pix that is exactly what they are.
