Courgetti carbonara! Means spiralling the courgette.Had 1st meal about 11.30. It was some more of the ratatouille with a couple of fried eggs on top. Still have another serving of the ratatouille to use. Might add some peas and some kind of meat (chicken possibly) to make a kind of minestrone (without the pasta) for tomorrow.
I thought I had some gammon steaks in the freezer but searched for it last night and couldn't find it, but I did find a pre-baked chunk of gammon and it's defrosting ready for my 2nd meal today of gammon and courgette in mustard sauce with some quickly cooked cabbage in butter.
The reason I was looking for ways of cooking courgettes was that I asked Neil to buy me one moderately sized courgette but all he could get was a pack of 3 very large courgettes, so I'm looking for ways to use them up before they go off. Still have one to use so am trying to invent something for that and am thinking in terms of something layered with onion, tomato and another vegetable, the name of which escapes me at the moment (it's white, turnippy kind of thing - not kohl rabi, often used instead of potato). You know the one I mean. My memory often fails me this way - worse these days than it used to be, but I've always had problems this way.
Just looked it up - celeriac!
Hiya I got it from U.K. companyI also found this site too. Like LuckyVitamins they are based in Calfornia. They do say they have new low cost shipping rates to the UK but you also have to watch for tax on incoming goods. That has to be paid once you get notification before the courier can deliver. @shelley262 did you get a request to pay tax before you got your liquid Lakanto from lucky vitamins?

They do appear to have Golden in stock.
Correction @Goonergal was lucky vitamin not @shelley262 (although I suspect that was from the USA too).
I hear you! Most of my work related travel was long-haul, and while I enjoyed much of it, my long-haul travel for leisure dipped in proportion to the work travel. No evacuations but I do boast a month stay in a hotel in Ghana where I shared the room with a mouse. The hotel staff were not convinced, but a few weeks after returning home, I had a message passed on by a colleague based out there to ‘tell Miss Goonergal we’ve found her mouse’!@Goonergal - much as I enjoyed the travelling when I was working, I don't miss it now. Especially, when I was away 3 or 4 days a week. The lifts out immediately put a number of memories in my head. I was evacuated so often from hotels, it got to the stage my colleagues preferred not to travel with me. They reckoned I was cursed. In the midst of all the fire evacuations I also had 2 bomb scares. One in Manchester and one in Leeds.
Yum! But hold the mint sauce for my portion.D. I'm turning into @Goonergal I think. A carnivorous meal of 4 double loin lamb chops (air fried) with mint sauce.
I haven't made kedgeree for ages and it works well with cauliflower rice. I put boiled egg through mine too. The trouble is that it makes me think of coulibiac, and I love love love coulibiac! Until I find a LC pastry mix that is edible, however, coulibiac is off the menu.[/QUOTE
Had to Google that one. A bit like salmon Wellington? Oh the memories.
Hugs @Rachox for shingles, I’m sure it’s more than ‘uncomfortable’ I hope it clears up soon.
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and an Atkins bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a phd bar.
Dinner: Brie and cranberry sandwiches with coleslaw followed by DGF ginger cake and cream.
Comfort eating today was Cheesies!
Yes you are right the shingles are more than ‘uncomfortable’, however if I said what I really think I’ll fall foul of forum language censorship!
There's an issue getting Lakanto Monk Fruit currently in the UK. It is some kind of hang over from EU approval rules. It was supposed to be reapproved 2020 but then a certain pandemic got in the way. I had to get my last batch brought over from the USA It's on sale in Australia too but they've been unable to travel for a while. I always got mine from mydietshop before these issues started.
@maglil55 Your Australian rellies might be able to end a couple of baggies of monk fruits sweetener from Woolies for you.It's on sale in Australia too but they've been unable to travel for a while. I always got mine from mydietshop before these issues started.
That's a cracking price.@maglil55 Your Australian rellies might be able to end a couple of baggies of monk fruits sweetener from Woolies for you.
It's on special this week as well.

Where did you get that? I went looking for one a few weeks ago and was told they no longer make them. Probably just as well!A substantial chunk of my Hotel Chocolate 100% cocoa egg with fruit and nuts in.
