Hi Goonergal - many thanks for that - much appreciated - I would probably have just plonked the egg on top hehe! Really helpful to see it all made - looks fab - Enjoy!Thanks, yes it was great. Could quite easily spend every day that way. Just the small issue of work.....
A hungry day today, no doubt partly stress induced.
Breakfast was my mince, fried eggs, onion and cheese concoction. @Mrs T 123 I took a picture while it was still in the frying pan as it still looks half way presentable then.
Dinner was beef short rib.
Inbetween was extra thick double cream, almond butter and Lindt 90%, so yesterday’s chocolate discussions got me eventually!

So happy to see I'm not the only one running into trouble with male chickens and the forum software, and delighted to see you chose the alternative term 'male chicken' just like I did when I tried to tell people about the goings on in the chicken pen last yearcan I call it ****'a'leekie if there's no rice or barley in it, do you think?
Edited to add - sorry, I didn't realise that a male chicken was a bad word, but I see it must be since it has been asterisked out.
An Eating Day (bigtime!)
B: kefir and lc hot choc
L: vintage cheddar with a wee blob of Branston on top
S: 70% Lindt
D1: Moo Grob with LC sweet chilli
D2: salami crisps with sour cream and spring onion dip.
am stuffed now
I do hope @Tipetoo is doing OK, I miss him.
He is in hospital at the moment with a **** load of problems to do with his heart and lungs.
Non covid 19 or diabetes related.

Changed my mind about the salad and made ****'a'leekie soup with the remaining chicken and stock from the freezer. Had a bowl at lunchtime and will probably have more later. I'd added some butter and soy sauce at the end to make it a bit more tasty, since I couldn't taste the chicken earlier, @maglil55 - can I call it ****'a'leekie if there's no rice or barley in it, do you think?

Evening all.
So far have consumed extra thick double cream, almond butter and Lindt 90% and a wedge of Red Leicester cheese.
Having forgotten to remove anything sensible from freezer, just ordered a bunless double cheeseburger with bacon from Shake Shack via Deliveroo so that I can eat some meat! ETA half an hour.
Adding my best wishes to @Tipetoo and wishing you a speedy recovery.
Editing to add that I’m doing a podcast recording with the Deliciously Guilt Free team today!
Goonergal - You can cook meat from frozen in your IP. Some folks just cook their recipe from frozen, but if I do it, I tend to do something like zero minutes pressure, leave it for 10 minutes NPR, before opening the post and adding anything else, like spices etc.
For the initial zero minutes, I just put in a very small amount of water, as the meat will release fluids anyway, as it defrosts.
I wouldn't do it for a whole chicken or larger joints, but with something like short rib, or the likes, it's be fine, I'm sure. Similarly, @Brunneria AFs her steaks from frozen, I think?
Just ideas really.
So far it’s been keto shortbread baked by #2 son for breakfast! Cold meats and cheeses as a picnic lunch, bubbles have just been opened with an Indian takeaway tonight. Butter chicken and mushroom bahjee probably. Ditch the carbs Lemon cheesecake and death by keto chocolate birthday cake to follow courtesy of #1&3 sons.
Not exactly as I would normally eat but in comparison to what it could have been pretty **** good.
Thanks. Will remember that. IP still needs washing up after yesterday though......and had forgotten about air frying frozen steaks.
