Yes they are littermates (brothers) one is very lab and the other very poodle. Both of them are lab in the way they eat anything they find!Thanks for the suggestion.. I'm away on holiday at the moment so can't have an earlier meal but I will when we get home and my husband goes back to work (he works afternoon/evening shift so I could then have it any time I want).
Are the lovely dogs in your avatar Labradoodles?
I've had a few colonoscopies over the last years and am quite used to the process. Although, last time I had an endoscopy as well. They gave me enough sedative to put me out, unusually. When I woke up, I was still in the operating theatre and in the middle of the colonoscopy part of the procedure. Everyone was having a laugh because there had been a fire alarm in the middle of the procedure and the theatre had to be evacuated. (Small fire in the hospital kitchen.) The worst part is beforehand, in the day leading up to the op. The best part is when they tell you that either they have found nothing suspicious or they found some small problem and have cut it out! Not sure how happy I'd be if they found it had gone too far. Better to know, anyway.@Annb that's the first time I've heard someone being positive about a colonoscopy! I hope that only good will come of it.

Evening all.
Woke feeling a bit under the weather so haven’t done much today aside from pick up a few bits and pieces in the small local Asda and some excellent looking cuts from the butcher.
Lunch was air fried pork belly pieces coated in chilli oil and air fried chicken wings. Both delicious.
Dinner was beef short ribs cooked in the Instant Pot and beautifully tender.
@ziggy_w BG is still off. Better today than yesterday when it went through the roof in the morning despite zero carb OMAD the previous day and having water fasted for 18 hours. Hopefully it will settle down soon.
Question for those with IPs, how long would you pressure cook brisket for? Noticed a piece lurking in the freezer and find it a bit dry when slow cooked, so wondering if using the pressure setting would be better. It’s probably about half a kilo in weight.

I’ve ordered some will let you know when arrive in a week or so. I couldn’t resist.Anyone had the DGF gingerbread cake? It’s the new limited edition variety. I still have plenty of others in the freezer but thought this might be nice for the colder weather ( and dare I say it - Christmas!)
I had a quick search in the FP IP group and there are lots of comments on there. Many have great success cooking it under pressure, but the timings vary enormously. On that basis, we I doing it, I might go for quite a long (for IP under pressure) cook, and be prepared to have pulled beef.
That meat looks delicious.I’ve done brisket in the instant pot. It was glorious, but yes, I ended up virtually pulling it.
‘Fraid it was so long ago that I can’t remember the timings.
this looks a good recipe though.

Rookworst! Sold cold to warm at home but also sold as 'halve warme' to eat while walking outside the store. Salty, smoky and fatty with a wonderful popping sound when you bite through the thin skin and the juices fly out!
You only need to warm them in hot (but not boiling!) water. Bought hot they always taste better because they're kept in the hot water until sold, making the fats melt inside. So when warming at home, do so for at least 20 minutes and they'll be devine!
Zero carbs! (Well, 0,2 per 100 gr)

I'm afraid it's a Dutch thing, so sorry.I didn’t get to Hema, but a google search seems to indicate they don’t do these in the UK.

That’s why I ordered them I was listening to Basmas live feed when they launched and she mentioned that they are meant to be like old fashioned ginger cake like the ‘Jamaican ginger cake’ which I remember well! Used to love it! Promise will try when arrivePromise to try one as soon as they arrive! They sell out of these new flavours so quickly don’t they? I’m worried about missing them
I'm afraid it's a Dutch thing, so sorry.
It's also sold vacuum sealed without need for cooling. Should I mail you a rookworst?

Rookworst is definitely not bockwurst. While bockwurst doesn't taste bad at all, it's a different product altogether.Antje - HEMA look very much like Bockwurst? Is that fair, or well off-beam?
