Two meals today. My new keto rolls arrived from Deliciously Guilt Free I've pictured one roll sliced and partially buttered so you can see the texture of the rolls. They've changed the recipe swapping pumpkin seeds which are green with paler hemp seeds. I Prefer the new recipe.
Brunch mushroom and cheese omelette with kimchi and one buttered low carb roll (0.2 g of carbs per roll)
Dinner chilli con carne followed by strawberries and hm yoghurt.

You can make it as hot as you like, or don't like, but a standard Balti is fairly medium. You won't lose your socks!

I always do two egg omelettes for one person but do use four or five when making a frittata to share.

Another cheap tea tonight: frankfurters, mushrooms, tomatoes, and sprouts. Not something I'd repeat anytime soon. Although it was edible!

You could make shop-bought tomatoes more interesting @IanBish with some finely chopped garden herbs. Basil has a particular affinity with tomatoes and tomatoey condiments, but almost any fresh herb currently in full growth, such as oregano or thyme for instance, brings out the flavour. Fennel fronds work for me too.

Of course, if those are home grown tomatoes, they probably don't need to be embellished with anything!

I have some oregano, @LivingLightly, but no basil. They were shop-bought tomatoes, and they were probably the second best part. I had steak, salmon and chicken thighs, but I didn't fancy any of them. I like frankfurters, but I had these - admittedly they were a bit old (from the freezer). But at least the meal was low carb. That's probably the best thing I could say about it. We learn from our mistakes, I like to think.

Barbecue with my neighbour.
He is by far the easiest non diabetic to share meals with: We both feel a meal of meat is just fine occasionally, no need for sides or sauces.

First course was marinated spareribs, small amount of carbs but I could use them with dropping bg, second course was a type of thin pork things, spices added by Lidl, hardly any carbs and bought on offer.

No pictures of the food, we shared a plate so I had to be quick to get my share.

Here's the grill while hungrily waiting for the wood to burn down enough to start grilling:
