Wow, crispy pork loin, sliced and chopped up for me, sans the bread and salad also on offer. Really crispy skin which had been well salted and flavoured with garlic. Topped off with a fried duck’s egg. No picture as too busy scoffing! Now plotting how I can make sure I’m in the area at lunchtime more often.

It seems to prevalent on the wannabee chef competition shows on television here in Australia.Ooh I really don’t fancy medium rare pork. Is it a new trendy cheffy thing?

Hello all,
Skipped a couple of days again. So will just report on today.
@DJC3 -- So sorry to read about your shoulder. Sounds painful. Are you feeling any better now?
@shelley262 -- Hope you enjoy vacation in Dubrovnik, happy it worked out in the end.
@Brunneria -- Vacation at the cottage sounds like a lot of fun, meals sound delicious.
@Goonergal -- The pork sounds to die for.
@PenguinMum -- Glad to see you back on the thread. Did you enjoy your vacation?
Today ...
Breakfast: Two double decaffeinated espressos with cream and erythritol. A small slice of egg liqueur cake (just one small slice left now).
Lunch: Low-carb pad thai with chicken and shrimps.
Dinner: A hamburger with cheddar, guacamole, mayonnaise, low-carb ketchup on two portobello mushrooms.
Some dry red wine and homemade low-carb bitter lemon throughout the day.
Much better now thanks.
Egg liqueur cake for breakfast! Goodness that’s impressive. Is it like a cheesecake and is it very boozy?
It's wonderful that you are feeling better, @DJC3. I do seem to remember you had shoulder problems once before? Is it a recurring thing?
Yes, I feel very privileged to have a cake for breakfast -- actually most of my breakfasts now look more like lunch and dinner. As to the booziness, no not very boozy at all, just a thin layer of egg liqueur on top. The base is primarily ground hazelnuts, dark chocolate and eggs, then covered in whipped cream and bit of egg liqueur on top.
I always put a little dash of brandy in my Marie Rose.Tea and then went out with No1 son who had a doctor's appointment at 9 am, then took me to the supermarket. Back about 11.30 to find that the lady who does my floors had been and gone and the floors were all wet! Too chilly here to dry very quickly so I had to keep my shoes on to avoid getting wet feet. No1 son is being called in to various doctors very frequently at present - twice or 3 times a week - for tests and consultations to try to sort out his ills - so far with some success but some side effects of treatment.
Tea when we came in, with most of the day's pills. Then some more.
Lunch was a smoked mackerel cocktail - like prawn cocktail but with pieces of smoked mackerel instead of prawns. My own Marie-Rose sauce - mayonnaise, tomato puree, double cream and a dash of Worcester sauce with a little salt. I used to love seafood as a child when my mother used to buy shrimps or cockles by the pint in Macfisheries. I also used to love the little dishes of cockles in vinegar that we were treated to at the seaside. But I haven't been able to put prawns or lobster into my mouth for years. I don't know why, except they remind me of insects. Anyway crustacea are off the menu for me. Smoked mackerel makes a very good substitute in a "not prawn" cocktail.
I was doing well and then Em came in from school and wanted to make pancakes and this time I didn't resist the temptation - mostly because Dad arrived earlier than expected when I still had some of the batter left, so I had to use it up, didn't I? I didn't even bother to check BG - it was already high before the pancakes, for some reason (Marie-Rose sauce is relatively high in calories, but not in carbs, and there wasn't much of it in my little dish). Anyway, fell off the wagon and will have to do better tomorrow.
What a decadent idea ...I think a prawn salad might be on the cards very soon! Thanks for the idea.I always put a little dash of brandy in my Marie Rose.
I put paprika and Tabasco in it too.What a decadent idea ...I think a prawn salad might be on the cards very soon! Thanks for the idea.
Before I vanished I wondered where you had got to. Glad to see you back xIt just happens when I spend too much time tapping on my phone - I don’t have a tablet or pc. I’m trying to limit my time now to stop it recurring.
Your breakfast cake sounds amazingly decadent.
