Wishing you lots of luck for tomorrow. I just hope it’s not a scorching hot day so you won’t get too thirsty.

@maglil55 I too saw that master chef episode using the mushroom stalks as a scallop substitute. Great idea.
Today I had black coffee until lunchtime
L- SLC roll filled with mortadella, cheese, cream cheese and super greens sauerkraut. A chunk of HC Easter egg. ( bought 4 in post Easter sale)
D- pork loin steak, air fried. With cauli cheese and chilli sauerkraut. DGF cake and cream, and then because I was feeling a bit stressed some Brie and M&S crackers.
Will have a nice cup of tea and calm down now.
Good to see you back @shelley262 where was that kimchi from? I miss apple.

Kimchi from Waitrose and it’s delicious I missed apple too. Those m and s crackers are my stress go to too!
I added so many other stuff to my leftovers that the result suspicially resembles a pasta sauce heavy on the veggies.And on topic: Today will be the same as yesterday, oven baked marinated asparagus and broccoli with an aubergine and yoghurt sauce. Today without the shrimp, they didn't really add much to the dish (except protein, but I'll likely make up for that with some midnight pork scratchings anyway.)
Enough of the vegetables are currently in the oven to have lots of leftovers, I'll do something with them and minced meat and perhaps tinned tomatoes tomorrow.
Tasty all the same, and the aubergine and yoghurt dip went surprisingly well with it!
Lots left too, so any good ideas on using a pasta sauce (except just eating it, which is definitely an option) are welcome!

Three slices middle bacon bacon, three egg and cheese omelette, mushrooms, small tin of baked beans for breakfast.
No smoko again.
Chicken legs, green veggies and gravy for a late lunch, as I had an early appointment in the arvo with my GP, and getting a quaddie flu shot.
Toasted steak sandwiches and onions for supper at seven.
Glass of single malt and a a early night to bed.

Looks like a good base for a sausage casserole to me, but I don’t know if Dutch sausages are the same as UK ones.
We have all kinds of sausages so that shouldn't be a problem (and if my sausages are different from yours I have no way of knowing anyway, the important part is that it tastes good!).
But the reason there is so much veggies in the dish is to balance out the minced meat I added. While I love meat, I struggle with it because I love the providers of the meat too. So I tend to muddle along reducing the amount I eat, but not always because I love meat too, if that makes sense.
So this particular dish doesn't really need more meat, unless I google for 'sausage casserole' tomorrow and really want it!

A tip I was told about keeping and eating your own animals, is not to let your kids or yourself give them names.
Pigs are all called pig pig.
Goats, sheep were all girls.
Chickens were all chook chooks.
Cattle were know by their ear tag number.
You name them, and your kids get teary eyed at mealtimes and probably refuse to eat any meat.
The chicken legs we ate yesterday were from a property that sold meat chooks, just to keep the thred on topic before @EllieM wacks us with a wahaika.

I had a workmate who sometimes took this a step further - it wasn't so much the animal itself but the piece of it that was to be eaten, so an anonymous piece of pork was perfectly edible but if this was then personalised as a nice piece of Percy Porker it was a definite no go. It occasionally resulted in a(n un)fair bit of teasing.
ETA to keep on topic:
Breakfast: none; fasting bg 6.3
Lunch: Sliced roast beef with baby cucumber, cherry tomatoes, lambs lettuce and avocado mayo, followed by tiny portion of strawberries and extra thick cream; green tea; bg 6.4-7.0
Dinner; beef burger converted to meat balls, green beans, olives, tomato sauce with basil & thyme, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese; tiny portion of baked blackberry & apple with creme fraiche; more green tea; bg 6.8-7.2

Saturday 28 May - bed 6 4 FBG 6 2 - Signs of normality returning hopefully. I did end up going out as son had a electrical socket burn out and needed an extension lead and fuses until he could get the electrician in. Not out too long and only had the barriers/portaloos and hard working stewards setting up to negotiate.
B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast with egg mayo
L. M&S Pancetta crisps
D. 3 small M&S chicken flatties (garlic and herb) with i/2 a mixed santini salad. Raspberries, strawberries and clotted cream.
1 HC gin truffle.
Today - Sunday 28 May bed 7.7 FBG 6 7
Marathon Day and the DJs started early. Good cloudy day for the runners.
B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC bread with prawns and guacamole (prawns needed using)
L. M&S Chorizo crisps
D. Usual campari and soda - sous vide duck with 1 small new potato, green veg medley mix. I ate about half the veg. A bit too much with the duck.
@DJC3 I still have about 2 portions (my size) of the 100% egg. Not surprising with my addiction to HC Gin truffles!View attachment 54737
.I’ve never done duck sous vide, what time and temp please? And did you crisp it in the airfrier afterwards.
I didn’t know about the HC gin truffles, I think I’d better pretend I still don’t know.

Oh sorry I missed the bit where you said there was meat in it. I love meat but I’m not sure I’d add sausages to a meat based sauce either. From the photo it just looked like a lovely thick veggie tomatoe-y sauce. I think I’d just add lots of cheese on top.

As long as kids understand that the reason for keeping those animals is to provide a product - milk, eggs, wool, meat, ours seemed to be fine with it. Em is quite pragmatic about meat from animals they have known, but she is also quite sentimental about her pets. Odd child, in a way - she was telling me a couple of days ago about "Charlie" who shared her bedroom. He had gone from his normal place in a corner of her room. This 8 legged friend seemed to have settled in for the duration - and maybe it was for the duration of its life but it had the decency to just disappear one day. Maybe one of her other pets ate it!
Just had breakfast: bacon and egg with a slice of toast again.
2nd meal will be pre-cooked chicken breast with some pre-cooked mushrooms (Neil just cooked 2 whole punnets of mushrooms last night) and some Collard greens.
I'm very happy to eat my neighbour's animals, like the turkeys and chickens living in my garden, and the sheep walking next to my house, names and all. They've had a much better and longer life life than almost all bought meat.
That's what I was thinking too!
Although I do have an aubergine laying about so I could turn it into a moussaka if I want to. I also bought a pot of cream to either turn it into a creamy tomato soup by the third day, or in case someone here would mention some yummy idea involving cream, which tends to happen a lot on this thread. Better safe than sorry, I won't have a car for the next couple of days so I thought I'd better buy the cream just in case!

Mmm talking of cream you could do a moussaka with a fluffy,crispy round the edges,topping. Once assembled moussaka whisk one egg with a good glug or two of cream season with pepper and salt and mix in some grated cheese to taste then put in oven to give you a delicious low carb topping turn heat up at end when cooked through to crisp it up. Well we wouldn’t like you not to use your cream !I'm very happy to eat my neighbour's animals, like the turkeys and chickens living in my garden, and the sheep walking next to my house, names and all.

Sounds fantastic. I'm about to make a cream and mustard sauce to go with my precooked chicken and mushrooms but I like the idea of the extra cheese and egg topping.

Breakfast a few spoons of hm yoghurts with my supplements
Lunch two boiled eggs with one slice low carb toast followed by a strawberry and yoghurt and two squares of 90% chocolate- my last bar for now as hoping to stick to 100% in future as less tempting to over eat it.
Mid pm unplanned snack of one low carb Adonis bar. Enjoyed but had made a decision not to snack so felt a bit annoyed that I helped myself from cupboard - stress eating! Good job we can start again in the morning with our resolutions!
Dinner pork chops that had been marinated all day in lime juice olive oil and a mix of herbs from garden served with salad and kimchi. Followed by a lc lemon cake.
