What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[filly]

Well, the day didn't start so well. Went to Waitrose and it was the second day of the free coffee being back. Trotted in with my mug. Would I like..... yes please will have Americano.
Got to machine no tea and no Americano at all. Mmmmm should have walked past. I didn't.
Next time shan't take a mug with me, so won't be tempted.
Cottage cheese and tomato.
Cheese and avocado.
So far sugars ok.

".... I have had mine a year and still do not use it much... ...."

How is that even possible?

Think of the AF as a small, faster, fan oven. Anything you can do in the oven, you can do in the AF, if it'll fit. That said, there are a few stars, like chicken wings, legs, drummers or whole chicken (we tend not to have breast, unless using it for curry). Steak, lamb chops, pork chops with crackling to expire for. Any of the roasts - low and slow.

My OH is the main cook in the house and he'll more often than not do our roast in the AF starting it at 90c for a few hours. Far more economical than heating a larger oven for all that time.

To stick with the thread, we're having roast beef cold cuts this evening.

Kudos for using the airfryer!!... I have had mine a year and still do not use it much... That said, I gave three instantpots with airfyer to friends last year, and none of them have used it even once!!

I was given one a couple of years ago and couldn't get on with it at all. Sent it to a charity shop a month or so ago.

I honestly don’t use my oven or grill much any more. I love my airfrier and instant pot ( I have them as separate gadgets) and use one or other of them pretty much every day. Have you tried air fried chicken wings? A real game changer for me.

Odd meal, tasty though.

Was supposed to go swimming this morning, and buying groceries, and cooking. But instead I had to rush to the vet with a very sick cat. Once at the vet it was clear he wouldn't get better so he was euthanised. I loved that cat very much.
Outside the clinic I called a friend, who basically ordered me to drive by the supermarket and simply buy anything I like without planning a meal and don't look at the price. She knows me well, and knows my brain refuses to make decisions and insists that things like deciding on what to eat are a giant problem at such a moment, very happy she solved that problem for me.

I found a low carb wrap that doesn't taste like cardboard in the supermarket last week. Too expensive to have regularly but perfect to use once in a while, like today.
I had it with smoked salmon (which I love but eat maybe twice a year because of the price), cream cheese, snow peas and fresh lemon zest.
(I bought lemons and snow peas because they appealed to me, I guess they looked pretty. Any recipes with lemon are welcome, there's four more of them and I never use lemons really. The snow peas are easy to use later this week. )
Also had a tomato filled with egg mayo with salt, pepper and a little of the branston pickles.

Lots of room left on my plate, I was going to add something else but didn't know what, so this will have to do.

Poes has a nice place in the garden, right next to the rabbits.

Goodbye Poes, I miss you.

Two hard boiled eggs, two slices of toast with vegimite for breakfast.
Heat and eat buffalo wings, L/L sorbet for lunch.
Ressoles and a bit of mixed salad for supper at six.

Glass of single malt before bed.

 

[Riva_Roxaban]

@Antjee sorry here of Poes untimely passing, he's out of pain now.

So sorry about your lovely kitty. They're family and it's hard when they're not there anymore.

 

[Pipp]

No breakfast, just black coffee
brunch scrambled eggs and salmon , more black coffee
dinner chicken stirfry, mineral water.

 

[MrsA2]

at. Once at the vet it was clear he wouldn't get better so he was euthanised. I loved that cat very much

At least he didn't suffer for long xxxx

 

[Annb]

So sorry to hear that Poes was sick and had to be euthanised. I'm sure you'll miss your little friend but you did the best thing you could for him and you will have happy memories of the time he was with you.

 

[DJC3]

@Antje77 I’m so sorry to read about Poes. Losing a beloved pet is so hard. You did absolutely the right thing though, both in allowing the vet to euthanise him, and for following your friend’s advice about the food. (I also love smoked salmon and cream cheese) that was a great way to celebrate his life.

You inspired me!! I made Chinese crispy pork belly in the air fryer this evening.. Awesome!

I have not been trying to lose weight that long so the last time i had chicken wings it was the deep fat fryer. Next time i will take your advice and use the AF.

So so sorry to hear of your loss. Losing an animal is like losing family, and often worse. My heart goes out to you. We had 5 cats and a dog at one point. All the cats had great lives, traveled a lot with us and lived long lives. That in some way made their passing a little easier, but it always hurts so much. That was a couple decades ago, but i still think of them most days.
Pain is the price we pay for love.
