What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

B: Two poached eggs topped with a knob of butter, avocado and four tiger prawns seasoned with black pepper.
