What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)


Feeling so sorry for you @Chook with your migraine. It's an awful thing - one that seems to run in our family - and there's nothing you can do, is there? Just wait it out. Sleep is the best thing you can do, if you can manage it. Hope it doesn't happen very often. I used to have them very frequently, but (touch wood) I haven't had one for a few years. Maybe I just grew out of it - or maybe it was something to do with diabetes. Glad to see the back of it anyway.
 

Hug for the problems you are having with machinery. I would be absolutely helpless given those problems. Hope Mr Slim will be able to do something once he gets back.
 
Am not sure that would make any difference to his plans. Since he is the big spender, although that is mostly on building materials.
Did ask for a petrol driven lawn mower. To get into all the places ride on mower won't go. When it is fixed
1000L Water butt
Air fryer
He sent me an article explaining why they are rubbish in response current plan, look into halogen fryers instead

And try to be ready for un - expected arrival

Better shampoo the cat, she needs to make a good impression.
 

Well, I'm sure, like everything else, not everyone gets on with every gadget, but in this house, the air fryer has been voted a best buy for some time now.

I've never experienced a halogen oven, but I think @Brunneria has both, so she might be able to give you an insight into any pros and cons.
 
I forgot the coffee and the tea in the car!
Not a problem, we had a very fun encounter with a pretty blue ship when we overhauled them. Exchanging niceties like 'nice weather, beautiful day' and such when I let slip that we'd forgotten our beverages.
The friendly older couple immediately told us to sail closer so we could hand over our mugs so they could fill them up for us!

Apart from that, I had my cold celeriac slices, strawberries, sweet melon my friend brought, very much worth injecting for, and some almonds.
Now at home enjoying a beer. Evening meal will be mixed veggies (mainly cabbage and mushrooms) and baked pork belly pieces with my exciting new condiments and spices

 
I've always liked putting whole garlic cloves, rosemary and some lemon juice into slits on a leg of lamb. Slow cook after. It gives it a different flavour.

I love just roasting whole bulbs of garlic. Probably boosts the sugar level, but it tastes so good.
 
Hooray new tooth bridge work completed this morning. Unhappy with bill but very, very happy with finished work - he also “threw into the cost “ a major repair of a tooth I broke during lockdown which made me feel better about total bill - plus had long chat about keto with dentist who has lost several stone over lockdown by switching to low carb so interesting conversation and I’m so pleased now that the freeze has worn off and I’m getting used to my bridge. I feel younger - no longer having that Poor fitting temporary partial denture!
Omad - couldn’t eat earlier due to dental work and freeze just stuck to hot drinks.
Garlic and herb chicken with coleslaw, green salad and celeriac chips plus a few glasses of cremant de Loire to celebrate new bridge followed by sf jelly a few berries from garden and extra thick cream just had decaff coffee with a few squares of the 100% choc with mint oil and decaff coffee.
 
Tuesday bed 6.4 FBG 5.2 - a good day until it decided to shoot up to 9.1 pre dinner for no reason. @shelley262- I'm working up to calling my dentist about my bridge. I still can't get it in my mouth so I dreading him saying I'll need a new one. Mentioned before it was £400 but that was a while back! @Chook - so glad you woke up feeling better. @Goonergal - parmesan wings. Mmmmm- Hubby has developed quite a liking for them too.
B. Stuck with toasted LC bread with ham and coleslaw. TAG.
L. Had to make a trip to the butcher to get boiling beef for Hubby's soup. Not really soup weather but when boys ask boys get. No 1 has has a sickness bug so feel rather under the weather.
D. Garlic & parmesan chicken tenders, that I got at the butchers, with veggie chips and.....4 squares of Godiva. I'm now telling myself that 4 squares at a time it goes quick.
 
Breakfast: strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee.
Elevensies: black coffee and Mississippi phd bar
Lunch: Babybels followed by Greek yoghurt, blackberries LC chocolate granola.
Dinner: Peking style ribs with roasted Mediterranean Veggies (all the better for being cooked by hubby on my return from a week at Mum’s) followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate granola.
 
Bit of a repetitive day today. We were meeting friends for a socially distanced picnic and walk so
B.some meat and cheese combos from Morrisons picnic range while packing picnic
L some meat and cheese combos from Morrisons picnic range and a few square of cauliflower cheese savoury (hubby has sausage rolls and an apple as extra treats)
D a couple more meat and cheese combos followed by bit of steak and some stir fry veg.
3 glasses red wine while doing 2 zoom socials.

Loved the social aspect of today. Nothing else beats meeting people in person for the wide ranging fast flowing chat, but is was nice to see others on zoom as well.

Share what you've eaten today with the rest of the DCUK community and maybe steal a few ideas for yourself!

I had a really horrible Greggs vegan sausage roll, i was out and about...never again...I don't trust Quorn products one bit....I had a bit of Glase ice cream...then i made a vegan cottage pie with vegan mince, onion, mushrooms garlic, it was delicious topped with sweet potato...I have had more vegan ice cream..yogurt and an apple with peanut butter ready for bed...x
 
I was looking into Zoom today as i'm missing my work out at Waterloo...I couldn't make sense of it..x
 
Black coffee and TWAM until around 2 pm then croque monsieur made with 90 second mug bread. 3 HC buttons afterwards used to scoop up clotted cream.
Dinner was chicken and bacon in a garlic and mushroom cream sauce, with broccoli. Followed @shelley262 ‘s method for the sauce, plus added @Antje77 ‘s dash of fish sauce which gave a good umami touch. Thanks both.
Also had red wine, nearly forgot.
@Chook glad the migraine has gone now - they are horrible and so debilitating you have my sympathy.
@shelley262 glad the dentist was a success and your bridge is sorted - it’s always good to chat to someone who’s having success with low carb eating, what an enlightened dentist.
@SlimLizzy I do hope Mr Slim gets back sooner rather than later. I’ve no idea what on earth those photos were but I feel daunted on your behalf.

Zoom is easy to use, as long as someone else hosts the meeting. It gets a bit complicated if you are the host, especially if there are a few people attending and you have to control who is speaking (ie chairing the meeting). But with a bit of practice, it becomes easier.
 
@Annb I've been reading your other thread and I think your medical practice is treating you dreadfully. I've just got back from accompanying a friend to our doctor (she hates him as much as I do) and in the waiting area was a big poster saying that patients are entitled to see their medical records unless there is a good medical reason why they shouldn't and that reason should be discussed and agreed with the patient. Maybe you could have a chat with your doctor's surgery manager about why you aren't told the results of your tests - its the practice manager that ensures the medical practice keep up to date with their legal obligations.

Breakfast: Omelette with carb free syrup
Lunch: black coffee
Dinner: Aldi black bean spaghetti with pesto and a green side salad
 

Just back from GP surgery. I had to take in a sample for bowel cancer testing and the receptionist was on the point of refusing to accept it! "Which doctor asked for that? I don't think ...Oh Dr. Carrick" Got the impression Dr Carrick is not a favourite. This is the new doctor I'd never heard of before and who seems to be willing to help. They have it now so we'll see the results in a couple of weeks, maybe.

Didn't manage 18 hour fast because I had to go out. Made it 17 hours instead.
Breakfast was a few raspberries with some yoghurt.
2nd meal will be a slice of roast breast of lamb with plenty of curried mixed veg.
