It was a name the local indigenous people in Mt Isa called them, we did not sell much lamb in the shop where I worked. So mutton flaps instead of breast of lamb.I bet they are really tasty. Prefer the name lamb ribs to mutton flaps though!!!
I bet lamb ribs would be good, but I’ve never seen them anywhere.
BGs a bit higher yesterday. Bed 7.4 FBG 7.5. I was having problems with my hip and leg though which probably accounted for it. I was correct about yesterday's wedding though. Despite the pineapple suit there were no late night melees in the corridors (may also have been due to the signs the hotel put at the ends of the corridors asking late night revellers to keep noise down and be respectful of other guests).
B. Stuck with my fry up. 1 slice GF black pudding, 1 rasher of back bacon, 1 fried egg, 2 GF sausages, mushrooms and 1 slice of GF toast. Pot coffee and cream. Meant to mention yesterday was the first time I have seen guests arriving for breakfast in their pyjamas. Some had slippers on some barefoot. There were some this morning too. Anyone ever gone down to a hotel breakfast in their PJ's?
L. Taking into account my dodgy hip and leg we took the Arriva bus to Warrington as I decided it wasn't far. It's not - in a car - but on a bus that goes here, there and everywhere on A roads its 1.5 hours. Still I saw some places I've never seen before. We were able to wander not too far from the Bus Exchange in Warrington and plenty places to sit and rest inbetween. Stopped at a lovely Italian cafe where I had an Americano with cream, bottle of water and bits of chicken and salad from Hubby's very full chicken sandwich.
D. Out with friends in Chester again (same friends we were out with in Liverpool earlier in the week). Went to a place at the side of the canal - Telfords Warehouse. It was packed. Live music on a Friday, people sitting outside, inside and dining was upstairs. Yet more wine. A starter of a warm goat's cheese, beetroot and pine nut salad. To follow rib eye with a mushroom sauce, field mushroom, cherry tomato, grilled halloumi and a mixed salad. Irish coffee. Beautiful day yesterday.
Hubby now under the weather but self inflicted so no sympathy.
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!!!
I’ve missed moo grob post. What on earth is it?
Also - those egg cups look v quick and easy in the airfryer. I didn’t realise it could be used for that sort of thing. Are they silicone cups?

Sounds idyllic and the tone of the post implies it is a real tonic for you. Avo on sourdough has to be winner anytime, anywhere. Really pleased for you.Yesterday in Dublin 4 son’s very villagy neighbourhood had brunch of scrambled egg, rasher crispy bacon, mashed avo on small slice sourdough toast. Yes I admit I ate half the toast without any repercussions! Also two cups of very good coffee and no I’m not going over to the dark side, started the day with tea x2 as usual. Last night went to nice restaurant up town had Dublin Bay prawn cocktail followed by monkfish with salsa verde and few of OH’s mussel mountain, little bit broccoli. Pre dinner Dingle Gin at the beautiful Shelbourne Hotel on St Stephens Green. I know we are living it up but this must be the most expensive capital in Europe, son finding it so much moreso than London. As we walked through the centre last two nights it was so multicultural and there seemed to be a real buzz of friendliness in the air.

Probaly the mission education a lot of them had cut breasts out of their English vocabulary.
I've been to Cheshire Oaks many, many times. When I used to drive down here the sat nav in my car even had my favourite parking space programmed into it. I was not permitted to go this time 1) According to Hubby & BIL - shopaholic sister/wife was not to be let loose there 2) I was to refrain from trying to squeeze anything else into the cases.That’s hysterical- hotel guests in pjs at breakfast. They’ve obviously not been let out very often before.))
We lived near the M6/M56 junction for about 6 years (longer ago than I like to remember). Warrington was one of the nearer shopping centres. I remember being in a store there (probably M & S) that stayed open later than other places. When I came out there was no one around at all- it was very creepy. That was not long after the Warrington bombing, so I raced back to the car park to get out of there. I suppose there were no flats or houses around there, and perhaps it was too early for restaurants to open (though I don’t remember any), so when the shops closed it just emptied of people.
Have you been to Cheshire Oaks outlets yet maglil55?
Morning. This popped up in my Facebook feed. May appeal to the non-carnivores as well as the carnivores here. Definitely on my list. It’s a video, but short.
DJC3, this is the Moo Grob I do: https://rachelcooksthai.com/crispy-pork/
I'm sure the alchemist we call @Brunneria will have applied her own tweaks and twizzles too, so I'll read those with interest.
Haha!
More like the blundering-makes-it-up-as-she-goes-along-terminally-lazy alchemist !!!
Just got a jar of this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Geetas-Chutney-Lime-Chilli-Pack/
It has sugar in it, but it is hothothot so I will be using the meerest smear. Delicious. Should balance that Moo Grob beautifully.
I bet they are really tasty. Prefer the name lamb ribs to mutton flaps though!!!

Can anyone still get mutton. We can, in the right season, get what is called Lewis lamb - slower growing and so older than normal lamb but still not mutton. But I'm told that nobody wants mutton these days and so no-one produces it. It's years since I had mutton - my mother used to buy it, but I haven't noticed any in the last 50 or so years.
