What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[dunelm]

Geesh sister must be well off. Thermomix doesnt come cheap. Only every seen them with pro chefs.

She is an agent for them where she lives in France. I don’t think that she paid the extortionate price for it.
I’m sticking to my slow cooker, pressure cooker and my 20 year old Vitamix.

Aaahhhh. Vitamix... now there is my Twue Love.
I think mine is 9 years old now, and still as frisky as a young (and very powerful) bull elephant.

I feel I have been somewhat unfaithful to him since going carnivore and getting the instant pot. Bad B.
Obviously time to have a soup making binge.

Evening all
All this talk of IPs reminds me how much I miss mine and what a hassle is is to think of and cook meals in the traditional manner
I popped into M&S today but no sign of that valentine sausage sadly.
Woke early and had a handful of nuts, couldn’t have a ‘proper’ breakfast as we were off to the gym later that morning.
Lunch was a DD breakfast sandwich
Dinner another DD recipe called a tuna casserole. Odd but HTS for daughter’s partner who has been missing a tuna melt sandwich since joining me on lchf. Had it with the last of the brussel tops sauteed in butter.
Wish I had something puddingy now.

Miss it? Miss it?

You clearly need a "here and there" family of pots.

 

[DCUKMod]

As its obviously not a thermo nuclear warhead (or similar) - then what are they? I've just googled it and I can't work out if it's a cooking devise, a posh mixer or both?

The answer is,"........... Yes!

I know. It was a great error of judgement not to bring it back from Cornwall with me like I have done previously.
This was only supposed to be a whistlestop visit though, until I realised the scale of house clearing still to be done up here so decided to stay and tackle it.
I’ll never make this mistake again - I will travel like @ziggy-W with her coffee maker in it’s own suitcase.

 

[shelley262]

@DJC3 happy with you for bg
Haha I won’t be drinking any more than usual, which is, in the summer, a few sips of beer from Mr ZF’s bottle on grilling Saturdays. Red wine gave me a headache at age 19, and tastes awful, and spirits are at least 2 leagues above my ability
Bfast 1/2 avocado, egg, decaf/soy/cream
Lunch almond butter, a little cream, chix broth
Supper is in my brand new IP, so excited.! Roast (how can you have a pressure cooked roast?) chicken with smoked paprika, garlic powder, pepper, and various Italian herb things. Probably some greens and/or celery. I figured out why I eat so much celery - it crunches like a good apple, and I miss my winter daily apple

Loving your new avatar and welcome to the IP club!

Funny for Ziggys coffee machine suitcase!

Is the masterplan to be premenantly based in the South West?

 

[ianpspurs]

@Goonergal you would be both pleased as punch and gobsmacked? With our meal today. A whole pack (2kgs+) of short ribs purchased in 2017 found lurking in the freezer as we try to give it a Marie Kondo. I could be relatively full afterwards but not expecting huge pleasure - relying on Spurs and England win for that
Will be using the IP and last night's info re using Kindle explains random autocorrect/suggest nonsense e.g. Wind for win

 

[Hungry19]

It’s sweet you both get to do weekends - I agree there has to be a Sunday Roast .
The storms were lethal - My son had a sleepover - most of his friends have parents with Diabetes (still give the kids their pizza !! Tut tut) One dad was ill so didn’t go work - his partner was killed by falling tree
So - I’m staying humble - and giving thanks and praise - cos it can and dies get worse - evidently

Have you sold the house yet?

I overheard Mr C describing my WOE as my 'Wallace and Gromit' diet. Maybe I'm overdoing the cheese.

So, today

Breakfast: Weekly big brunch of egg, bacon, high meat content chipolata sausages, mushrooms, two tablespoons of baked beans

Lunch: Maybe a nibble of cheese but probably won't be necessary

Dinner: chargrilled pork belly strips with sugar free sweet chilli dipping sauce

Dessert: defrosted raspberries and Turkish yoghurt

Drinks: Usual black decaff coffee with breakfast, tea with skimmed milk for elevenses, about 2 litres still spring water spread across the day

I keep reading your Turkish yoghurt as Turkish delight and my mind keeps thinking raspberries and Turkish delight hmmmmm.

No 1 grandson was asking me if his grommets were still in his ears. I assured him they were long gone as they drop out but I wasn't sure if Wallace was still there. I got a very puzzled look then he said Nana , I think you're a little bit nuts. Ah well at least it's a little bit.

No oddities last night with the BGs - bed 6.2 FBG 5.9. There were indeed the patter of tiny feet very early. They woke at 5.30am. Thankfully though they played reasonably quietly until 6.45am when the desire for breakfast took over. There's a TV in Number 1's bedroom and they snuggle together to watch early morning children's TV. Hubby still choked with the cold so between his coughing and the mutterings from next door over some Lego game and No 2 deciding to mountaineer on the furniture and jump I didn't get a lot of sleep. Thankfully I am having a little peace before I take them to swimming (although I have informed Mum and Dad that they will come too today).
B. So far over the 7.5 hours I've had 2 Tassimo Americano grande with a dash of cream. 3 Tesco GF pork chipolatas, 2 slices of back bacon, 2 mini tomatoes, 2 mushrooms and 1 egg.
L. Nothing - will be at swimming
D. Making Rick Stein's beef stroganoff with celeriac chips. Since my baking was knocked for six it will be berries and cream. I do have rhubarb but will do something with that tomorrow.
Thankfully its half term here so I should get some sleep tomorrow although that is dependant on Hubbys cough!

 

[set-in-stone]

Don't you believe it. They grow up, produce grandchildren and it starts all over again!

Oh dear! To think I have 3 children...so three cycles?.

 

[zauberflote]

@maglil55 a) you are too funny, wallaces in the ears. b) one of you sleeps on the couch! In this house, it’s hubby, because he can sleep through mine but I sure can’t through his.. besides he can stay asleep with 30 lb of cats between his legs.....which is the winter gift they give you if you sleep on the couch
Bfast 1/2 avocado, egg, all smooshed up with some mayo (long morning) and a few spoons on cinnamon toast chia pudding
Midmorning (now) decaf/soy/cream. I am working at a church, and have learned to bring my travel thermos mug pre-loaded with the white things. Clever me.
Lunch don’t know yet
Supper will be late. Working at this same church for a Celtic Evensong, and then they serve supper after. I’m at their mercy, but they always have mixed green salad.

 

[set-in-stone]

Taking a break from eggs today - my staple for the last few days. I guess too lazy to be “creative” and so stuck with simple.

B/fast: BPC

Lunch: lots of pork ribs in sauce with cauliflower. And broccoli rice. Tea, tea, and more tea

Maybe some berries with double cream later. Or more tea

3 children, 2 a piece = double trouble.

The Wallace in the ear was nothing on my other one. With these strong winds the empty wheelie bins (@zauberflote - see the image. We have these wheelie bins in different colours to split our trash) were getting blown onto the roads and I had a few near misses as they flew along with their lids flapping. Told the boys it was "the attack of the killer zombie wheelies" which they found highly amusing.
