What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Thank you
 
Thanks @LivingLightly! Much appreciated. The frozen chicken comes with skin off and the dog also likes it but I'll probably buy a fresh one soon and do a proper roast. I can't stand cauliflower: I was permanently put off by cauliflower in school dinners but in "rice" form I may just give it another go...
 
I might give cauliflower rice another go with the onion ....because usually I find it very bland .
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and another carb killa bar.
Dinner: kedgeree made with cauliflower rice.

 
For lunch I had sardines and Greek yoghurt (not together, though). Dinner was a kind of experiment. I chopped up some hispi cabbage, some Cavalo Nero, a few rashers of bacon, and fried them up with onions and garlic, and added a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce. It could do with a few tweaks, but it wasn't half bad.

 

I like the sound and look of this dish. I love it when an experimental meal works.
 
H/m yoghurt and M&S grain free granola for breakfast.
Lunch was cheese, beef and mustard in a l/c roll. DGF cookie a bit later.
Dinner was slow roast breast of lamb with buttered cabbage and mushrooms. Forgot to take a photo but it looked a bit of a mess really so maybe just as well.
 
An old friend was celebrating her birthday today; mine was last Sunday. In the past, we've taken it in turns to cook a joint celebration dinner somewhere between the two, but this year we decided on a slap-up lunch at a favourite eatery.

B: two poached eggs topped with a pat of butter, avocado and three crevettes with a good grinding of black pepper.
Water to swallow tablet.
Espresso.

L: Aperitif: gin on the rocks with a slice of lemon.
Scallops sautéed in butter with garlic and chopped, flat-leaf parsley, served with lamb's lettuce, rocket, cucumber, basil and tomato accompanied by a vinaigrette-style salad dressing.
Water to drink.
Roast pheasant served with steamed carrot batons, calabrese and French beans.
Spinach with garlic and butter plus deep fried zucchini matchsticks.
Affogato con espresso.
Espresso
Brandy on the house.

D: Seafood salad made with brown shrimps and kalamari, lettuce, baby plum tomatoes, celery, Romano peppers, mint and salad onions dressed with an olive oil, balsamic and garlic vinaigrette, topped with toasted almonds.
Water to wash down tablets.
 
Sounds like a very pleasant treat
 
Sadly, school meals have been responsible for putting a lot of children off vegetables @Calderbloke. The soggy, overcooked cabbage and cauliflower were often boiled to death, but they don't have to be. Cooked al dente, veg retains more flavour and nutrients.

I have served curries for instance with cauliflower rice flavoured with butter, green cardamom pods, cloves and cinnamon sticks and, provided that I don't let on, family and friends don't even notice it's not real rice!
