Todays evening meal was some leftover shawarma meat fried with onions, bell pepper and garlic, served on a bed of raw endive by way of lettuce and onion, topped with a rather thin spicy garlic sauce.
Tasted great, looked horrifying enough thanks to the thin sauce to not want to confront you with a picture. :hilarious:
Next time I'll have the salad bits on top for looks.

Tomorrow will be an adventure: I'm having a date through a dating site and after me mentioning low carb and him mentioning preferring vegetarian we decided to do the shopping and cooking together to cater to both of our preferences, followed by beer and whisky.
Can't promise to let you know what we've eaten tomorrow but will update you the day after!

Good luck with both the date, and the shopping. As with most things, a little bit of compromise goes a long way.

Black coffee until around 11:30 then brunch of 2 boiled eggs, 2 slices cheese and 2 slices beef silverside with h/m sauerkraut.
Dinner was lamb shank braised in h/m stock with herbs, carrots and shallots. Served with broccoli and cauli. Raspberries and cream to follow. Tonight I’m off to the cinema and will probably have a Pepsi Max.

Coffee x 3 with cream. I usually drink it black these days, but just happened to have a small pot of raw Jersey cream in the fridge. All gone now. Realllly good. Then brunch of plain Greek full-fat yoghurt. Dinner - the small container of nuts followed by steak, brussels sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower.

I wonder what I'll weigh tomorrow?
