What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Oh yes I think I’ve seen them, they come in weird flavours like beetroot and chilli don’t they. Must take a better look next time I’m in Aldi
 
Skipped breakfast
Lunch was 2 hard boiled eggs
Afternoon tried a new cake recipe. Trouble was I used a new sweetener which doesn't seem to agree with me especially as quite a lot went into a failure of an icing which then went into me.

Out at a do this evening
Trout pate (left the bread)
Xmas Dinner (left the potatoes)
Cheeses (no crackers)
Drank only water

Tummy still gurgling and cartwheeling

Breakfast: 2 fried eggs and one slice of toast

2nd meal: I will have some fish fingers - home made. Don't really want to eat but I had them in the freezer and got them out to defrost so I suppose I'd better. Really what I feel like is some hot tomato soup, but it is still in the freezer in a solid block. The fish will do and I'll have some more hot drinks to warm me up.

For us, it is very cold. Our islands have always been blessed by heat from the Gulf Stream so our winters are not very cold. This year, though, the Gulf Stream seems to have changed track, allowing us to freeze. Not as bad as the mainland but a bit of a shock for us.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a phd bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and an Aldi protein bar.
Dinner: Aldi spelt and chive crackers with mushroom paté, coleslaw and baby tomatoes followed by DGF Forest crumble and cream.

Pictured are the Aldi crackers I found, not quite the same as the ones @Antje77 found in her Aldi but perfect with the paté and only around 2g carb each.

Those look really nice, especially if you use all colours for a festive meal!
I don't think they sell them here but I'll make a picture so I can ask when at Aldi.

Same meal as yesterday, mixed veggies, spicy peanut sauce, black bean sauce marinated pork belly, still very tasty.
Neighbour-in-the-garden is back from hospital on oral antibiotics instead of needing IV.
(He had a tendon in his hand replaced a couple of weeks ago, after almost a year of operations, therapy and casts. Tendon got infected.)
Sadly, the infection has made the tendon snap and has done so much damage that a new try with another tendon has little chance of success.
So once the infection has healed he'll have his index finger amputated, without the tendon it just sticks out and gets in the way.
 

Oh goodness, poor chap.
 
Ouch! Poor man.
 
@maglil55 I remember with glee your spam Summer sizzle winnings! I’m glad you’re still putting them to use.

We’ve had a very long cold day travelling back from Scarborough to Cornwall. 400 miles of icy roads, and hold ups. Black coffee until first pit stop at 11:00 where I stocked up with food as it was obvious by then it wasn’t going to be a smooth journey.
Food along the way consisted of a snack pack of king prawns and mayo, a cold roast chicken breast and an awful lot of nuts. Many more coffees.
Got home late to find a burst pipe. Ate the other chicken breast with a few sad tomatoes, olives and gherkins, happily there was a DGF Crimbo Crumble cake in the freezer for pud.
 
Bacon sandwich for breakfast.
Small slice of xmas cake, mug of coffee for smoko with the Blue Care nurses.
Pork shoulder chop, mixed veggies, butter mushroom sauce for lunch.
Cold chicken wings, a few bits of stone fruit for supper at six.

Small glass of single malt before a early night.

The usual male nurse Greg from the base hospital (now works full time for Blue Care), was showing a new nurse from the Friendlies private hospital how aged / home care treatment is performed.

She is very nice and knows her stuff, but she had difficulty understanding what the different dressings are called till I explained what I call them. I hope she comes more often, as most of the nurses are retiring or leaving for a better nursing position.
 
Yesterday was a busy day so food was grabbed on the run.
Think there was no breakfast, hm lc veg soup for lunch with added ham.
We were hosting a party of neighbours in the evening so nibbled on curried eggs, cheeses, a few cheese straws and a single sausage roll. Loads of mulled wine, then red wine, then Scotch to finish. There were 2 After Eights as well
Everyone brings a dish which makes the hosting easy.

Did make early yoga today
Light breakfast of seeds, 4 blueberries and a spoonful of greek yoghurt.
Lunch was cheeses and pate and seed crackers
And a 100g bar of milk chocolate that came free with the supermarket shop. My resolve and motivation is really struggling currently.

Dinner will be prawn cocktail and a steak and salad, with more red wine probably
 
lunch out with the family (as we won’t all be together at Christmas) at The Lost gardens of Heligan. All home grown and completely wonderful. I’d emailed before asking if I could have extra greens instead of spuds/parsnips and Yorkshire pud - no problem they said and actually did greens specifically for me as they weren’t in the menu.
Starter was salad of home grown veg plus walnuts and sunflower seeds. It was the best salad ever.
Main was roast beef, red cabbage, swede and cabbage mash, mixed greens, roast sprouts, broc&cauli cheese. So full but happy at the end. 3rd course was cheese, I brought it all home and might have it later.
Now enjoying a glass or 2 of wine and waiting for Strictly
 
Friday, brunch eggs mushroom bacon lots of black coffee
dinner, remainder of tomato and veg soup, topped with grated cheese, black decaff coffee.
late supper, felt in need of comfort food, as I was cold. Warm milk and 2 oat biscuits.
