Hi maglil55
Mmm sounds really good. Can you please give the recipe for this lemon cloud tart as it will be my birthday on Thursday and I would like to make it for a dessert after tea instead of the usual fruit and yoghurt. It will make a nice change.

Pauline xx

This is it Pauline. It uses the USA cups to measure the ingredients which I don't mind. If you would rather metric or imperial you can get converters online but 2/3 cup is about 80g 1/2 cup 60g.
As I said above the base is a bit weird. The reason I said watch the butter measurement is I had to dab my base with kitchen towel to remove fat. I guessed a bit too much. Don't be put off by it being wobbly when it cones out of the oven it will harden and it tastes really good against the tartness of the curd.

Er... nuts.

Yup.

Nuts.

I sort of forgot breakfast. Work was chaos, so I nearly forgot lunch. And just grabbed a 200g bag of black pepper cashews that was just... kind of... lying there.

And then they all disappeared somehow.

And then it was suppertime and I had a small portion of crackslaw that I didn't really need...

so basically, it was cashews. Blood sugar spot on all day. Felt great. Wonder what tomorrow will bring... ;)

...and my mind immediately went 'whole hazelnuts Cadbury's take them and they cover them with chocolate
Sadly Kraft doesn't sound quite the same.

B. Boiled egg with a teaspoon of Helmanns.
L. Remains of prawns from yesterday with small avocado, iceberg lettuce, 3 cherry tomatoes, few bacon bits, 1/2 egg and Tassimo morning coffee with cream.

What's an almond roll? I love almonds :) and pre-D used to treat myself with those luscious almond croissants.
 
Hello @Chook it is just a roll made with ground almonds. It's on the Internet as Lauren's fluffy biscuit. I make them in a muffin tray and use them like a bread roll.

Today
B. Strawberries with yoghurt

L. Camambert with walnuts

1 hours continuous swimming

Crust less quiche with salad. Strawberries with franks diabetic icecream :)

Dinner - home made burgers with feta, onion, tomato and spinach, with buttered cabbage and sprouts; 2 teaspoons of cream

Thank you maglil55 looks delicious going to try and make it at weekend x
 
B - Greek style yogurt and a few berries
L - 1/2 a lidl protein roll and poached egg

Tonight's dinner is homemade kebab meat ( hairy dieters recipe omitting the flour) with salad and homemade coleslaw
 
Cheese omelette with bacon and mushrooms

Smoked salmon with mushrooms and avocado plus mayo

Fathead pizza (cold leftovers as travelling down to see the parents)

Tomorrow breakfast will be my 25g of macadamia nuts plus 2 Babybels
Lunch will be in a pub on the way to seeing my aunt - gammon or steak and salad likely choice
Dinner will likely be fish and chips - have bought some Lidl rolls and plan to have the fish out of the batter on top of the roll - I can just imagine the comments I will get from my step father - we still have a bit of a love/hate relationship after 40 years!

Don't say anything to your step father unless pushed - then say that they just don't seem to agree with you recently. Not a lie....
