That looks amazing!
And yours look much tastier than the ones in your link!

Bit of a messy picture (even messier than usual) but a very nice meal nonetheless. :)
Almost the same ingredients as yesterday but a very different meal.
Had my runner beans with boiled eggs mashed with butter and salt, and the same salad as yesterday minus the egg but with bacon.

Now, I am quite perplexed:
1. What do the egg companies do with all those egg yolks that are are separated from the egg whites; and
2. How do they extract the egg whites on an industrial scale making sure that it is free from egg yolks?

Mysteries of life!
They use millions of eggs here in Australia to make Fluvax.

Breakfast: thinly sliced wholemeal bread, butter and marmite.

Not sure that there will be any more food today - feeling pretty grotty. There is a rib-eye steak in the fridge that Neil bought for me this morning, so if I do feel like eating later, it will be that. Possibly just that and nothing served with it.

@maglil55, also cremated the celeriac fries lol! But I will try again. @Goonergal, I saw you said ' a fry up'. So I fried off some bacon and then added 250g of green veg chopped fine then added an egg scrambled with dash of cream. It was very tasty and filling. Another bf on my list. Ty. So todays brunch was the above recipe and tonight will be 2 boiled eggs with salad and mayo. Am trying 2mad.

@Tori71 I’ll join you in non-disclosure of the quantity of 90% chocolate and cream consumed today!

Aside from that, 2 portions - one for lunch, one for dinner - of air fried pork belly pieces. Found some deliciously fatty ones in Asda this morning. Got there before the other person who goes through every package looking for the fattiest ones!

Lunch hm pate, a hm lc roll and some saladstuff and large handful of mixed nuts followed by yoghurt and a few berries
Dinner partridge breasts wrapped in Parma ham and pan fried served with salads followed by lc blondie with some more of my hm yoghurt
My current batch of yoghurt finished first thing and it’s my best yet - really thick and creamy and first one haven’t needed to seive to thicken it. I’ve got another batch in my yoghurt maker using a few spoons of todays yoghurt to help it. Up to mums on Saturday - medical appts - staying until Tuesday or Wednesday so trying to get extra stuff ready to pack and take. I’ve been cooking a gammon in my slow cooker today and also cooking some organic beetroot both favourites of hers. Flood barriers gone up again here.
I’m just sipping clove tea but moving on to water only next as need to do 12-14 hour water fast before my annual bloods (including full fasting lipids) in the morning. Where did that year go?

Yes. It’s a small local Asda and we’ve stood next to each other sorting the packets before now! She didn’t have much English but agreed that the fatty ones were best!

Give them a move about every so often. Maybe try taking the heat down a little, then upping it to crisp them up? Once you crack the timings for your oven, you'll make them without thinking. You can deep fry, and then they are visible. However, they won't crisp up.

Good luck with the bloods tomorrow @shelley262 Hope all goes well at your mum’s too.

Today’s meals:
L: a bit of mince left over from yesterday’s burgers, fried, with 2 fried eggs and grated cheese on top. Handful of Montezuma’s 100% buttons
D- partridge breasts ( snap @shelley262 ) from a mixed seasonal box from Wild and Game. I used the recipe in the booklet they enclosed. Very little modification needed, it had a white wine, garlic, lemon and cream sauce with capers. Served with baked aubergine and sprouts. Never had partridge before but I really liked it. Another handful of Montezuma’s buttons to follow.

Last of the runner beans today.
This time with Danish blue again, and a burger with a slice of goat's cheese on a bed of endive. :hungry:

And for anyone wondering what's suddenly up with all the endive lately: it was on offer, and it's the absolute favourite of the guinea pigs so I bought a LOT of it. :hilarious:
And I like it of course!

Bed 6.9 FBG 6.5. Another vile day. Why is it school holiday week gets the really awful weather?

B. TAG and a repeat of yesterday's breakfast, the DD mini quiche (they were just as good today @Antje77).
L. Coconut milk
D. Roast chicken with pork and sage stuffing. Wilted spinach and a cauliflower/cheese gratin. I make them in a ring and I don't bland them totally smooth as it gives them some bite.

@Annb sorry you're still not feeling great.
