Those rollitos are one of the rare sunny uplands in shop bought food ready to eat food for the WOE

Yes they are! M&S food hall has quite a few good options in their deli section.


Yes, much lower carb. Ate a few peanuts at an event yesterday and they tasted very sweet.

Dessert was cream, sliced strawberries topped with melted dark chocolate and crushed nuts. Ring a bell?

Yum! Just written my review. Thanks for the reminder @Debandez

Today’s menu was:

Lunch - post lunch meeting in venue within walking distance of Five Guys = excuse for arriving early and indulging. Bunless cheeseburger with onion, tomato, lettuce and mayonnaise.

Dinner - 2 Waitrose free range Cumberland sausages. 2 rashers bacon followed by 25g Sainsbury’s 85% chocolate and a lazy dessert of clotted cream mixed with almond butter.
 


@Goonergal just had a reply from hannah:

Evenin’ All,

Yesterday was a full English at 10.30 am, followed by lamb kebabs in the evening.
Today was crustless ham quiche (not nearly as nice as homemade!) and pork ribs in a DIY dry rub for supper.

Too many choc puddles last evening too, so a chocless day today, to balance.

It’s the spider season, that’s what it is, and they are everywhere. I can never enjoy September because of them.

Spiders, here in the uk? You have given birth but a spider puts you off:***::***:
 
Good luck tomorrow @DJC3 hope it goes well and you don’t have to wait too long for the results I’m hoping you’re pleasantly suprised

Ridiculous I know - I’ve also done the ‘Friendly Spider’ course at London Zoo and actually managed to hold a tarantula afterwards but I’ve gradually got worse again.
Sorry, completely off topic - got carried away.

A friend of mine who lives in SE Asia insists on posting pics on Facebook of her hubby and sons eating tarantulas. Even dead on the plate they look scary.

I guess it is only natural if one eats cupcakes and watches the GBBO - both just wrong on so many levels

Omg no! ( pretty low carb I’d guess though)

Haha you’d hate to live in my house! Maybe that has something to do with why Mr C is now in Cornwall.
 

4.6! Onion rings! Happy hols

I'm with you on that.I loath them. I wish they would do their breeding outside. I cover windows and doors with oil of cloves, sprinkle bicarbonate about, have plug in things and the fighters still get in. Also have one of these sticks with the bristles so they can be captured and ejected at arms length.
 
@Debandez I’ve just noticed your post re Hannah the waitress’ reply. She just gets nicer and nicer! I’m really glad she saw the reviews.
 
Hello all.

A bit late posting today. Didn't sleep much last night and had a very long afternoon/evening nap.

@DJC3 -- Good luck tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Breakfast: One double decaffeinated espresso with cream and erythritol. A few pieces of low-carb sesame brittle.

Lunch: Three scrambled eggs with okra and cheese. A DD keto roll with tartar and mayonnaise. About ten small strawberries with whipped cream. Another double decaffeinated espresso with cream and erythritol.

Dinner: Nothing.

I'm a bake off fan as well. Cruelty to have showstoppers with chocolate in that heat. I rather like Noel Fielding and Sandie as the presenters. Mel & Sue were irritating me.

Me too! Anything Sandi Toksvig does is great with me - and I didn't like Noel Fielding initially, but they just seem to complement each other and gel so well! I'm not a big cake fan so I could watch that without being hungry but when they bake bread I want to eat it all!
 
Bless you, maybe without realising you have been worrying about up coming tests and sad regarding the funeral, both will have a less than desired effect on your numbers, maybe. I hope all goes well and you soon get back into the groove.
On a happier note, I loved my first yoga session, I was assured I did very well, the teacher was lovely and my friend, who I hasten to add is as flexible as an elastic band, I am not, had a giggle and can’t wait to go again.
 
Ok. I NEED this.


Did you make it yourself?
