I toast mine in the George with a touch of butter. I also add a smear of low sugar/salt tomato ketchup. If I was frying it I'd doit on a griddle.

A photo memory book for your dad is a brilliant idea @Goonergal . Great fun to do I imagine and it’ll be lovely to look through it together.
@shelley262 hope the indigestion has finally gone. My raspberries were really early this year and have practically finished now sadly - found 4 this afternoon.
Breakfast today a courgette fritter warmed up with a poached egg on top. Lovely! Coffee and cream.
L: finally got round to trying the LoDough - made a wrap as suggested by @maglil55 with a small omelette, slice of ham and grated cheese then cooked it in the omelette pan. I was underwhelmed by it, like polystyrene I thought. Mind I’ve never really liked wraps so maybe I was on a loser to begin with. I will try a quiche tomorrow with the second one. Sf jelly and cream to follow.
Mid afternoon an unexplained energy slump, probably the weather or lack of coffee. Tried a decaff filter coffee with cream, it didn’t energise but thankfully didnt raise bg either.
D: roast chicken, buttered green beans, fried courgettes ( I still have 2 huge and 1 normal left) choc chia pud to follow.
@DJC3 Do they have frosting or icing ?- if not then no, if they do definitely especially if coconut or anchor butter involved. @Goonergal what an amazing idea for your dad. As for slow cooker and IP, right now the Ps have been having a love affair with the Sous Vide this summer - gammon works well.Do post your mug cake recipe - there are lots of cake lovers here, always looking for new ideas. @ianpspurs is a mug cake in the same Devil’s spawn category as a cup cake?
Recipe 1 - verrrrry dry and a bit tasteless - no milk in the recipe but it needed something to make it moist. I'll try another recipe tomorrow! It looked ok thoughDo post your mug cake recipe - there are lots of cake lovers here, always looking for new ideas.

As well as the diet coke version Nigella Lawson also does a ginger ale version with gammon. I've made it a few times. Last time I used a sugar free marmalade I found, still added the mustard and some fresh ginger. No dark brown sugar but I added a squeeze of Agave. Not totally ideal but I worked on the basis you were not getting much of the glaze anyway. Loads of ginger ale in it and it seemed to make the gammon non salty as well as very tender.Lol I’ve just done exactly the same and was about to post the link! Actually I remember my daughter making this a couple of years ago when she was on Slimming World - and it really was good.
My slow cooker tends to be retired for the summer too, but thinking about it, its ideal for summer hot meals as you bung everything in cold then just leave it - no need to be standing over the hob or be opening and shutting oven doors.

It's a new one! My daughter bulk boight all the new flavours - there's also birthday cake and red velvet (which was out of stock)Halo Top have toasted coconut ice cream??? Where has that one been hiding in my supermarkets!
What a great idea for your Dad. My FIL is a bit more advanced. Short term is very poor but long term is excellent to the extent he forgets English words but can speak , write and translate from French. He was in France during the war and learnt the language. The mind is a strange thing.Evening all. OMAD day today. Just about got there - very hungry just before dinner.
Spent the day wandering around SE London on a mini photography project for my Dad. He has early stage Alzheimer’s and on a recent trip to London really perked up visiting old haunts, so I’m working on a compilation of former houses, workplaces, favourite places etc. Really enjoyed it - stuck to the more local places today, some further afield ones to come!
So to get back on topic, no breakfast or lunch. Dinner was pork belly with buttered, salted cabbage followed by a slice of yesterday’s lemon zucchini cake and extra thick Jersey cream. Dessert number 2 was half a portion of flourless chocolate lime cake, with a blob of cream. Very unexpectedly the zucchini cake is my favourite of the two. Pork belly was the best I’ve managed yet: managed to get crispy skin without over cooking the rest.
Remainder of both cakes to work tomorrow for colleagues.
Agggh. I had trouble resisting it before but that's some scary flavours. My favourites were the cookie dough and the mint but that may be about to changeIt's a new one! My daughter bulk boight all the new flavours - there's also birthday cake and red velvet (which was out of stock)

I think that unless they've changed the recipe, if you use coke you might need a new slow cooker: when I was in the Army we used to use coke for cleaning out the barrels of rifles after we'd fired them all day! ;-)}I used to do a gammon joint in the slow cooker by filling the space around the joint with apple juice. Obviously wouldn’t do that now but I’ve heard people use Coke instead of Apple juice and wondered if you could use Diet Coke or diet lemonade maybe? The apple juice recipe made such a lovely moist meat
Saw a lovely dress in a sale, wasn’t sure which size to try, the smaller one fitted so even happier now
Short ribs, in an hour?: https://emilygoesketo.com/keto-instant-pot-short-ribs/
Now you’ve found the reason for me to buy one!
I bought mine when I discovered a crack in my slow cooker inner, so it had to go. In changing it, I decided to go for some form of multi-cooker, then eventually ended up with the IP due to its stainless steel inner pot, so no non-stick coating to become scratched.
18 months along, I want another! When launched in the UK, I'd like a small 3ltr one for side dishes and small batches when I'm on my own. That said, the 6ltr which I have can be used for very small quantities. I just want another one!
