One cup porridge with mixed seeds and chiaNo breakfast; pork (emptying freezer) and apple sauce sandwich for lunch - skinny bread; mackerel and avocado salad with 1/2 CCB for evening meal. I may have to ask for several mugs of tea to be taken into account your honour. Food ok and analysis looks ok. Cutting a lawn was always going to be a hard act for lc food to match but salad came close. Hope everyone found some pleasure somewhere in their day.
@DJC3 @Brunneria @DCUKMod @Annb Halloween update. I’ve gone for a ghost cookie cutter, bought some orange and black food dye for frosting (black cream?!) and then found some ready made toppings at Hotel Chocolat, one set of which will be suitable for me - 3.3g carbs per mini dark chocolate vampire! Will use to decorate cakes. Also some white chocolate eyes, which I won’t eat. Considering getting some of the psyllium husk that turns purple for something savoury, or even lemon drizzle cake!

All looks great! Have fun doing them. What a good idea to use the purple psyllium husk! I have some of that and don’t use it much because I don’t like the look of purple rolls, but for Halloween it’d be perfect.@DJC3 @Brunneria @DCUKMod @Annb Halloween update.

Hello all,
Missed almost a week of posting.
@DJC3 -- Hugs for Dennis.
@Goonergal -- Brilliant ideas for Halloween.
Today ...
Breakfast: Two double decaffeinated espressos with cream and erythritol.
Lunch: Half a hamburger patty with cheese, avocado and mayo. Two packages of chicken cracklings.
Dinner: The other half of the hamburger. Lamb's lettuce with gouda, quail eggs, and Caesar's dressing. A glass of red wine.
That food sounds delicious and your account of the day almost comes alive from the screen. Every now and then a post appears on here which gives me a glimpse of how this woe could work for me. Chop the chilli, coffee and white wine, change location to Southwold or Padstow and bingo. Thanks @maglil55 added to bucket list.I still have a long way to go with the posts and got distracted by Bake Off. Bed on Thursday after that seriously good meal 5.3 FBG 6.3. Today I finally got back into the 4's after a serious amount of walking. Headed to Whitley Bay on the Metro - disappointed. Needs a serious upgrade. Then Tynemoutb - lovely place. By the time we got back everyone else had arrived.
B. Hotel breakfast really good. Coffee together with smashed avocado & chilli on GF bread, 2 poached eggs and hollandaise.
L. Bowl of Carrot & Coriander soup at Spanish City in Whitley Bay (that side they had spent money on). Soup was really good. Very warming after a bracing walk. Tynemouth was next and another bracing walk. Lovely shops, pubs and restaurants. My walking colleagues had food - I didn't.
D. All out for dinner in Newcastle at a little Italian. Family run and quite straightforward Italian fare. I had a frittura mista of whitebait, squid and prawn with garlic mayo to start. Followed with a chicken and prawn dish in a cream, brandy and tomato sauce with spinach. Lots more dry white wine and an Irish coffee.
All the walking kept my BGs down.
Thanks for Dennis hug - I’ll pass it on to him.
Your meals always sound so delicious and exotic: quails eggs with a hamburger!
Limited experience granted but from what we have learned with our chickens I doubt if pure pasture raised chickens would ever lay enough eggs even with a vast prairie to roam to make the enterprise commercially viable. Would probably work with your own chickens - less eggs - or better still bantams. Just my hunch.
Morning All!
Yesterday was a weird one, since I was rather sleep deprived, and that always makes me want to eat voraciously, and eat unsuitable things.
B: low carb hot choc with cream
L: used the panini plates of the waffle maker to do cheesy corned beef with fried eggs and chilli. Used a tip I saw in a Chaffle youtube vid to sprinkle grated cheese on the plate and let it melt before adding anything else. The crispy crunchy result, esp on the edges, was sublime. Served with Branston pickle.
D: cheesy mince and a goatsmilk yog
All in all, a dairy filled day.
