View attachment 31875 Just pulled this roasted rhubarb out of the oven and I'm having to use all my will power not to eat it all! The kitchen smells amazing. Roasted for 15 minutes with just sprinkling of erythritol and a some lemon zest. Not sure what it's going to end up in yet!
Welcome, @Alyssa !
@dunelm and others who do aubergine (eggplant, right?) fries, do you have to peel it and soak in salt and whatnot first?
My big challenge for today besides keeping sinuses and lungs clear - don’t eat so much. My comfort food when sick is honey toast on spelt bread, and plain butter while imagining honey and bread is a poor substitute, I tried that yesterday!. Yesterday the cookie aisle was very tempting, as was the leftover corn bread. Thankfully, the brownies didn’t even cause a blip. Today, so far feeling somewhat better, I hope to at least keep the “lc treaties” (great phrase @Goonergal ) to a minimum. Perhaps keep lunch to super bulletproof chix broth that awaits me...
Bfast will be 1/2 a seriously under ripe avocado but I am getting a little sick of scrambled eggs, good ol’ boiled egg, decaf/soy/cream with 1-2 (who am I kidding, definitely two) sq 90% Lindt choc
Lunch not sure what I’ll end up doing
Snacks salted chicken broth yummy
Supper either leftover chili or an almond butter tortilla is the goal. With spinach and celery. However, if the girls declare tonight fish night or eating out night, all bets off. If out, will def have salmon! If fish night, we always used to do swordfish until one sis went kosher, so they’ll have codfish, ick, and the ZF’s will have swordfish broiled with mayo and pepper, yumyum.
Yes, it freezes either cooked or raw. It will lose it's shape a little if you freeze it cooked, but if you plan to make it into a LC crumble or stirred through yoghurt, that won't matter.@BibaBee that rhubarb is really calling to me. Might have to buy some, reluctant only because its just me who likes it. I wonder if it would freeze well.
Re eyes i have no idea when I’ll be seen but will chase the hospital this coming week. I think I had D for a long time before dx also and I have also steadily reduced nos in the last year.
Aubergine (eggplant to you - correct). If I am making crisps (your chips) then I salt and put the slices on paper kitchen towel for a while to get as much liquid out as possible.Welcome, @Alyssa !

Hi @zauberflote - I don’t bother with the salt and whatnot for the aubergine/eggplant if they are going under the grill or into the actifry basket. Nice recipe here; http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/13423/grilled-aubergine.aspx

If I'm making chips (your fries) then I just cut, coat in whatever I'm using and fry.
I dont go overboard on any oil since as you know they are thirsty little so and sos!
I dont peel either.
Cocoa for breakfast then pots of tea including lemon green tea. Chicken stock - suddenly had an insane craving for that - hot, salty and warming. No doubt I will have more tea.
Evening all. A carnivore OMAD day today. Dinner was short rib beef done to perfection in the slow cooker. Yum.
@Chook Lewisham Odeon, that brings back memories! Needless to say, it’s long gone.
@DJC3 I’ll let you know about the mercy dash.
@ziggy_w and @zauberflote hope you feel better soon.
Bit of advice needed. Having seen a few of you raving about ox cheek I bought some from the butcher today - how long in the slow cooker? About half a kilo. Thanks.
What ever gave you that impression? @BibaBee your rhubarb looks lovely and nice idea so I will keep an eye on ours which is getting close to being ready. Also purple sprouting broccoli ready so things are looking up.Are you fasting?

Did mine in the IP too but I’d guess at least 8hrs in the slow cooker. Longer if possible. I dont think you could overcook them if you were doing them slowly.
Nice. I had stewed rhubarb today and yesterday - lots of it. I really enjoy it. But have gone out of my way to eat it most recently as I get a bit bunged up on my current dieting strategy.View attachment 31875 Just pulled this roasted rhubarb out of the oven and I'm having to use all my will power not to eat it all!
