I thought of you and your lovely sounding infusions this week when I saw a lorry delivering nitrogen gas canisters to a pub. Am I right in remembering you use nitrogen to speed up the infusion process?
You just reminded me, I haven't infused any gin for ages. The strawberries are delightful at the moment. I may just do an infusion tomorrow.
Our dinner tonight was excellent roast beef. Nom, nom,..... very nom.
Yes, I use a Mosa Soda Splash which used nitrogen capsules for infusions (in between 5 and 15 minutes). Marvellous thing.I thought of you and your lovely sounding infusions this week when I saw a lorry delivering nitrogen gas canisters to a pub.

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.
Do you just soak the berries in a bottle of gin? I do that with liquorice root in vodka to get rid of cold sores but berries and gin sounds much more fun.You just reminded me, I haven't infused any gin for ages. The strawberries are delightful at the moment. I may just do an infusion tomorrow.

I have a small problem. My soup/broth is on cooking and smelling wonderful. I just realised though that I have no idea how to even estimate the carbs in it and therefore my insulin dose. I guess I can either skip the bolus and monitor BSL (I normally bolus 15 mins before eating) or add a piece of bread to the meal and bolus just for that… but the 2nd strategy still ignores any carbs that are in the broth, although I’d say it’s probably very low (will be straining the vegies out with the bones) so I’m back at square one. I don’t really want to add bread just for the sake of itB: protein shake (hazelnut milk, protein powder, psyllium husk powder, sugar free drinking choc)
L: low-carb wrap, lettuce, tomato, onion, ham. Glass of hazelnut milk
D: will be chicken soup made using leftover roast chicken carcass, celery, onion, carrot, garlic cloves, thyme. I have some shirataki noodles that I’ve never tried before so will have some of them with the soup. Dessert strawberries and no added sugar vanilla ice cream
After dinner: will be protein bar and another protein shake same as breakfast just before bed
Antje, will you share your recipe for tuna melt batter please? I bought some sweet peppers ready! ThanksAh, 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!

If I remember correctly, you're on small doses of insulin even with your occasional more carby meals, is that right?I have a small problem. My soup/broth is on cooking and smelling wonderful.

I loosely use this recipe but I add extra onion and use the cheeses I have, not the ones mentioned in the recipe. Amounts are loosely interpreted as well, not fiddling with trying to work out how much a cup is.Antje, will you share your recipe for tuna melt batter please? I bought some sweet peppers ready!

The bell peppers I put in the microwave for a minute or so before filling to give them a bit of a headstart, I like them soft.
