What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[maglil55]

You could use it in Irish Coffee, replace the whipped cream with the clotted stuff.

Ooooh, that sounds like a plan.

Tuesday 23 November - bed & FBG both 7.9. Physio straight after school drop off and with Mum & Dad both working and me at Physio youngest just had to pick that as a "let's act up at school" day. By the time I got back matters were resolving themselves.

B. TAG
L. Slice of SLC toast with pate. DGF lemon cookie. Some of the coconut milk.
D. Pork ribs (which I put a fair bit heat into with a rub) a welcome sour cream & chive dip, coleslaw.
Blackberries and brandy cream.

Wednesday 24 November - bed 7.8 FBG 7.9

Another rushing about day. Visiting relatives away on another day trip so I'll be feeding grandsons before collecting them on return.

B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast with whipped cheese.
L. Nothing - we went to collect my birthday/Christmas present from Hubby.
D. After feeding boys/taking home to Dad/ collecting the travellers, it was a bit late so ended up with a smoked sausage.

Thursday 25 November - bed 7.3 FBG 7.8. Had the boys a little longer than usual as their Mum was busy with a Thanksgiving dinner prep.

B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast with whipped cheese.

L. Nothing.

D. 6 chicken wings with sour cream dip. Blackberries/ raspberries and a dollop of brandy cream. This was my birthday meal but we're all going out tomorrow.

I was laughing because my birthday/Christmas gift made me think about the time my brother bought his wife a hoover for Christmas and almost got it wrapped around his skull! Yes I got a new "hoover". Difference is I wanted it as it's one of the Dyson cordless "sticks". Hubby was relieved I didn't want the outsize as it was too big and too heavy (and a ridiculous price). Anything that makes life easier is welcome to me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @maglil55 !

 

[maglil55]

I didn't have an egg for my 2nd meal. I decided to fry the last of the cabbage in butter and had that. Not many carbs and a few calories in the butter. All that my stomach needed.

No 2 son was in to pick his daughter up but he's feeling very poorly after having his 2 jabs (covid and flu) yesterday. Luckily, most of the mail didn't get to the Island from Inverness (that will cause a delay) so today's delivery was fairly light. DIL has also being feeling very poorly after she had her covid jab to take up her new role as a home car worker. Unfortunately, she can't sit around feeling sorry for herself, she has been doing training for the job all week. My cleaner, who is also a home care worker, has just recovered after 3 weeks off with her 2 children and herself having covid, one after the other. She says she's exhausted and was trying to ease herself back to work with her private clients but tonight she is back into harness properly. Not sure she is fit for it; it seems to have taken an awful lot out of her.

Apparently our ferry has been off again for the last 2 days and shelves in the shops are pretty empty. Not sure what that means for the big order that I put into Tesco for delivery tomorrow. Time will tell.

The ferry situation is absolutely ridiculous. These two rusting hulls in Greenock are costing taxpayers a small fortune and I doubt they'll ever be finished. Were they not supposed to be leasing ferries from somewhere?

Brunch - greek yoghurt & mixed berries. I still didn't feel full so I thought I will have a teaspoonful of that extra thick cream I bought at Morrisons last night for the dgf order - honestly if I have it in the house ... anyways it was the last one on the shelf and I thought it looked at bit weird but I still bought it... I have opened it and one side of it is a bit wattery and breaking up (so I put that half in the bin) - I was just going to put it all in the bin and then I thought I would ask you experts before I do - it smells & tastes ok - would you keep it or bin it???

Dinner (will be) - roast chicken, brussel sprouts, broccoli & a little carrot.

We are meeting up and going out with friends tonight so a lot of alcohol will follow that

 

[maglil55]

Looks like a nice blue cheese to try.

We used to get a imported Danish blue cheese at Woolies but it has been unavailable since 2020 BC* it beat some of the local blue cheeses for taste and texture.

*Before Covid not Before Jesus.

Of course we have those who object to the use of BC/AD preferring instead BCE/CE. Another thing I only found out due to home schooling the grandson. Me? It's still BC/AD but I'll retain Before Covid to catch out any "wokerati".

 

[Antje77]

I'd eat it!
But I know I'm not prone to tummy trouble so that might be a consideration.

It sometimes happens with extra thick mostly. Was it open slightly when you bought it? If so either ditch it or contact Morrisons and they will refund it if you tell then you didn't notice the seal was broken. If it was sealed and in date it will be fine but never trust one with a broken seal.

Friday 26 November - bed 7.2 FBG 7.4.

B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast with salmon mousse.

L. Nothing. Was away for flu jab at chemist. No queue and no reaction.

D. 9 of us at the Thai. Bits of lots of things. Squid, veggies, Thai fishcake, one 1/4 of chicken toast, chicken wing. Mains - I know the owner so they do me stir fried cauliflower rice. Choo Chee prawns (done in red curry), bits of crispy fried sea bass with chilli, couple of bits of duck from the jungle curry and picked at a lot of veg from the other plates. Way too much wine and an Irish coffee.

Probably the worst weather we've experienced in a long time but the meal was excellent.

There was dried cream on the outside which I cleaned off and didn't appear to be from this one, lid was still firmly on and in date until 3/12 but I have just binned it so I wont have any more. Why should you never have it if the seal is broken?

 

[Tori71]

Breakfast; 2 slices of bacon, poached egg, guacamole and tomatoes on half a slice of sourdough
snack; mocha
lunch; eat natural low sugar granola, one slice hi lo
dinner; undecided. was due to go to thai restaurant tonight but cancelled due to weather. What a disappointment

ps. SLC bread rolls arrived today, yippee. Trying out their new hot dog rolls

decided to have two fried eggs on one of the SLC rolls for dinner, which was strangely satisfying and disgusting in equal measures! Am now trying to mitigate this with berries and cream there may be montezumas 70% buttons too, but Ill have to check with the nutracheck app. Think my appetite is coming back...

Because it leaves it open to bacteria plus you don't know if (although rare) some nut job has deliberately contaminated it. I've had the odd one where a crack or break has occurred and they always remove and change them rather than risk a customer falling ill. Sounds like yours has been next to a carton that had a crack.

Very, very jealous @maglil55

Saturday bed 5.8 FBG 7.1 (Liverpool must have been working overtime on the alcohol).
Was taking DIL parents to a testing facility in the back of beyond for their travel PCR test. Sat Nav would not let me enter Street nane/industrial estate name. I had a kind of idea where it was but not well signposted. Found it eventually and tests all done ready for departure on Tuesday. I'll have upset boys to deal with then.

B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast with egg mayo.
L. Roaming in an industrial estate in West Lothian so nothing.

D. Usual cold cuts. Slice each chicken and paprika, coronation chicken, roast beef, ox tongue and 6 of the mini German sausage. Boiled egg.
Will probably have some berries and brandy cream after.

@Tori71 - it's a fabulous Thai. My late brother always said it was the most authentic Thai food outside Thailand. It's great too that they make cauliflower fried rice for me. I've been going there so long that I know what won't damage my BGs and what I get get away with in small amounts. Too easy to drink lots of booze though. It is always busy which is a good sign of a good restaurant.

That wokerati sounds like a region in New Zealand (Aotearoa).

 

[Rachox]

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a DGF lemon cookie.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a gingerbread Carb Killa bar.
Dinner, Chinese take away: crispy duck, 3 small pancakes, a smidge of sauce and veggies followed by SF cherry jelly and cream.

Edit for typo

Sorry I missed your birthday @maglil55 happy belated returns of the day. ( my mum bought me a hoover as a bday present once - she was very house proud and really thought it was a great present. I’m not so I didn’t!)

Today I had cheesy scrambled eggs on lc toast for breakfast.
L- left over braised beef
D- sort of beef olives; rolled minute steaks around stuffing of horseradish, smoked cheese and blitzed chilli pork scratchings. Pretty good. Buttery cabbage with it.
Somewhere along the line today I had 2 DGF cakes - the chocolate vegan fudge brownie (love these) and the Christmas Crumble ( also loved this)

I don't really mind the language developing; I know it has to happen, but I do deplore the introduction of things like "woke". It really annoys me. Surely English could cope with describing more accurately or clearly what "woke" really is. It's just laziness on the part of the speaker, to my mind. But then, I'm definitely not woke and don't intend to be.

Nor am I.

Good for you.

I am not woke, and I am not politically correct either.

As for the Karen's (and male equivalents) that are getting more prolific, I love winding them up.

Nor am I.

Good for you too.

Happy belated birthday as well.
