Good luck! It all sounds too uncertain for my liking, but enjoy the "sailing" anyway.
Good luck! It all sounds too uncertain for my liking, but enjoy the "sailing" anyway.Ah, you blend it!
I never thought to blend any kind of mushroom soup, makes sense though.
Thanks for sharing.
My experiments with mushroom soup will have to wait a bit, I'll be working on a ship next week (monday evening through saturday afternoon) so food will be interesting.
Food is supposed to be included but I have no idea what to expect, and neither does my skipper who I called today to ask if she knows anything about it.
It's a sailing ship, we'll have 14 paying guests, but it's not the kind of trip I'm used to. This time we're mainly the hotel for people doing a 5 day walk, so they'll walk, we'll move the ship (under motor, not sailing) to the next place to provide a place to sleep for the walkers.
It'll be 6 ships and the food is the responsibility of the overall organisation, not of the individual ships, and we haven't been told if it will be catering brought to the ship, or eating out, or something else. The walkers (and supposedly the crew) will be provided with breakfast and lunch packets, but again no idea if they'll make their own breakfast and lunch on board or if they (and we) will be provided with ready made packets.
I hope the breakfast/lunch stuff will be a do it yourself thing, which means I can simply put whatever they have in the fridge on my own low carb bread. If nothing's stored in the ship's fridge I'll need to find a different plan.
As for the evening meals, no idea if I'm expecting simple fare like lots of pasta or rice with a little sauce, or something more sophisticated where I can pick and choose.
So I'll bring quite a lot of basic snacks and emergency rations, but not much which will go off if not used, in case the food is better than I fear.
I'm happy with whatever food I can eat with them, and I'm happy to provide my own, but life would definitely be easier if I knew a little more about what to expect!
Tonight was the same as yesterday, except I did hear the kitchen timer so it wasn't burnt this time.
There's still some tuna melt batter left so I'll have that as a muffin tomorrow with a substantial salad or such.
And from monday on it will be a surprise, wish me luck with that!

The savoury ones sound good. I don’t have a waffle maker at the moment but I’ll keep an eye out for one. Ive also added some skinny syrup to my shopping listThey were really nice but definitely needed the skinny syrup with them. A dollop of yogurt or some cream would do the same thing.
I prefer them savoury and do those ones with the tbsp mayo instead of yogurt, and add a bit of onion powder and garlic pepper. I keep meaning to do a batch for the freezer but they're so quick to make that I've not bothered, and I like varying the spices too.
You can.Sorry half asleep! Almond milk/double cream. I wonder if its possible to get almond cream, now there's a thought......
Might have to try it and see if it spikes as milk lactose free doesYou can.

FB: 5.6 (woohoo!) Ended up doing 14000 steps yesterday which is the most I've done for ages.
B: Savoury waffles (3 tbsp ground almonds, 1 tbsp mayo, 1 egg, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, garlic pepper, 1/2 tsp water to thin the batter) with rocket, a few walnuts, tomatoes, cottage cheese and chives.
I doubled the mix and my husband had this too. We got an extra waffle out of it but really, two was plenty.
I think this will likely be brunch but I'll have a mug of mushroom soup if I'm hungry later.
D: What I planned but didn't have yesterday as we were still out - halloumi and roasted Mediterranean veg.View attachment 60904
Were most of those carbs polyols?Also tried my first carb killa bar which didn’t spike me but the wrapper confused me as it said 1.2g carbs but the nutrient content stated 20g so I’ve no idea now
They were indeed polyols, and as you say it had no impact on my BG at all so maybe I just count the 1.2g in my carb count?Were most of those carbs polyols?
Polyols shouldn't spike you so it could be the 1.2 are 'net carbs'.
I had the last of the tuna melt batter pan fried, thinking scrambled eggs, with a very nice salad with fried Turkish sausage bits.
The pan fried tuna melt stuff looks quite tasty, but don't let looks fool you!
I managed 3 bites before deciding it really was pretty much inedible, I guess the mayonnayse in the batter works fine when oven baked but not pan fried.
The dogs very much disagreed, and despite them being very small dogs, they made that whole plate (minus 3 bites and of course the salad) disappear in 30 seconds so all is well, nothing wasted, and I'll go find some nuts or such.

B- finishing off some leftovers from last nights Eurofest, I had a Greek style salad.
L- DGF cake
Mid aft- Preprandial raspberry gin and soda
D- Slow roast belly pork, roast radishes, cauli cheese and garlicky greens. 1 glass red. Strawberries and cream to follow.
Early evening got the munchies and had a DGF Notella egg, then had another. I think I’ll have to stop buying them.
That looks so good!Haha, it is cottage cheese on the waffles. I think you've misread it (easily done!). Halloumi was my dinner. View attachment 60908
