I finally enjoyed my food again after a week of covid! :happy:

LC wrap with shawarma, onion, bell pepper, raw endive and a mayonnaise based sauce with mustard, hot sauce, and Branston. (I didn't have any garlic left, hence no garlic sauce.)

Spicy food which is too hot. Nasty people who have no idea on your life journey but feel the need to comment and be cruel.

Glad you are over it @Antje77 that’s a great looking way to restart your appetite.
Today started with soft boiled eggs ( 7 mins at 170C in airfryer, perfect every time) and h/m seedy crackers.
L- I made the Hemsley&Hemsley flaxseed buns, they only take a few minutes to mix up. Split one in half and topped 1/2 with beef&horseradish, other half with strong cheddar and fermented red cabbage. Few nuts to follow.
D- pasta bake made with mince, quite a lot of chopped veg, tomato puree and topped with cheese- you’re right @shelley262 soaking that low carb pasta gives it a much softer, nicer texture -Low carb lager.
Montezuma’s have 15% off Absolute Black this weekend if anyone is interested. It’s rare there’s a discount in this range.

Thanks for the tip @DJC3. Certainly interested in a 15% reduction on Montezuma's Absolute Black, even if it's for one weekend only.

When appetite returms @ANTJE 77, it's a sure sign you're on the road to recovery.. If you can contemplate that spicy Middle Eastern creation, I reckon your digestive system is in fairly good condition.

Started the day with black coffee and a h/b egg to accompany meds. Then off to Somerset to visit daughter.
Took advantage of there being a Nando’s nearby: chicken thighs, halloumi, broccoli, and rainbow slaw. Dogs not allowed in but luckily there were tables outside and it wasn’t too chilly.
Hoped that would be enough food for the day but no, I got hungry when we got back. Had a flaxseed bun with Cornish blue cheese, few nuts and a glass of red. It feels like it’s been a long day, but it’s just down to a lot of travelling.

Yes, Beenleigh Blue is a star @MommaE. Now made in Totnes, Devon, it was created by illustrious cheesemaker, Robin Congdon, who also pioneered the first blue goat's cheese to be made in England, Harbourne Blue, using milk from his own herd. Both are magnificent cheeses, but Beenleigh is my favourite.
