This looks so good!
Care to share your recipe?

I kind of make it up as I go along, but here goes!
- slice and fry 1/2 onion
- cut liver into bite sized pieces and coat in a small amount of seasoned flour.
- when onion is soft add the liver and fry slowly til cooked.
- stir in 300mls of stock.
- continue to cook until gravy is reduced to required thickness.

Don't worry about it, those types of mistakes happen to the best of us, as proven by you!

I made a very lazy veggie soup yesterday: 25 cent bag of pre-cut 'soup veggies' to be used on friday. Looked and smelled fine on sunday, so soup!
I've never made a 'traditional' Dutch veggie soup in my life so I simply followed the directions on the bag of veggies: Boiled water with a stock cube (herbs, not meat). Added small balls of minced meat, I accidentally bought pre-spiced mince, which saved me the trouble of adding spices to the meat. Cooked for a bit, added bag of veggies, cooked a bit longer, ready!
Life got in the way of eating at a sensible time so it was just soup yesterday, followed by chicory with hummus and pork scratchings with aioli in bed.

Today I had more of the soup for a late lunch or an early starter, not sure which.

Main meal was a summery thing of bits and bobs, nicely compensating for the absence of veggies with our pure carnivore bbq on saturday:
A large plate of tomatoes and mozzarella with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper, lettuce leaves with chorizo and gorgonzola, and half of the chilli shrimp in the picture.

Sounds perfect for warm weather @Antje77 especially the tomato and mozzarella creation.

Btw in North America, they would probably describe the seafood as shrimps. Here in the UK we call those prawns; shrimps are somewhat smaller and have their own distinctive flavour. I often serve prawns and brown shrimps in the same seafood salad. They taste quite different from each other, even when unadorned with dressing.

Today, on the hottest day of the year (in the UK), I had a home made chicken, mushroom, salmon and prawn Madras, with a small portion of wild rice. The weather wasn't that hot, and neither was the curry; I quite enjoyed it.

 

[Antje77]

Earlier I had the other half of yesterdays chilli prawns with a beer in the garden.

Just now I had the last of the veggie soup (shared with the dogs) and 3 smallish but very tasty meatballs with mustard.
The meatballs contain lots of onion, garlic and grated cheese, and of course various spices and an egg.

Just what the doctor ordered @IanBish with a dose of decent June weather.
How does wild rice compare to basmati rice carb wise?

It's about a third less, @LivingLightly, but it was a small portion. I like cauliflower rice, but not with a curry so much.

Hi All
Have been mostly eating like a caterpillar since Monday! Lots of leafy salads with sliced ham, quiche with crust cut off, cheesy coleslaw, cheese. Last night for supper I just had three scrambled eggs accompanied by 6 roasted asparagus spears. Enjoyed so much might repeat this evening. Then thats the very last asparagus from the farm down the road for this year. Brekkies are still the usual slice LC toast, cooled with good butter and copious tea

I’ve been meaning to say, take a look at the Low Carb Food company bread. That’s the company I always use. I buy their rolls, loaves and pizza bases. their email today reminded me to order more and tell you!

Thanks for this. Received bread and rolls this morning. Lovely and fresh. Rolls were delicious. All else is in freezer. Was concerned about delivery here to Northern Ireland. I ordered Sunday, they were sent out Monday afternoon and I have them here today - Wednesday.

Another three of the oniony and cheesy meatballs with mustard, flattened today for quick and lazy frying, with tomatoes and mozzarella with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper.

Three more meatballs left for tomorrow, not sure what to have them with yet now the soup and the mozzarella have been eaten.

Really? @IanBish. Perhaps I should revisit the mushroom risotto I used to make regularly before diagnosis!

Another scorcher in prospect here in London, so had made ceviche on Tuesday to avoid unwanted heat in my kitchen at lunchtime. My oregano will soon be in flower; great for the bees, not so good for culinary purposes.

Leftover ceviche made with haddock fillets cured with lime juice, zest and salad onions, then combined with tomatoes, Padrón chillies, cucumber, Kalamata and Halkidiki olives, chopped coriander and olive oil.

Today we had an office lunch out. I had the tiniest piece of sea bass, with some roasted red peppers. I'm so glad I took some sausages in, which I ate later.
