What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Yep - queso queso tetilla. I couldn't find @DJC3 original photo (which also failed to remove Peter Parker from the front page!) So found another one. Pretty obvious where it's name came from. @DJC3 found it first then when I saw it in Lidl I had to have one!
@Tipetoo - meant to say yesterday you cannot beat an Australian seafood platter. Have had many in the clubs but the one that sticks in memory was in Woy Woy - wooden building, wooden benches on the side of the lower reaches of Brisbane Water, loads of pelicans and seafood simply done but fabulous!

Lolololol if we can say boob, why can't we say the blue lady-part word?! They are equally rude here but IME women tend to use the latter to refer to their own. Much more fun, though, to say "the girls" ...
Is it a fresh or a ripe cheese? They look like Hershey kisses but I suppose are larger, D-cup maybe
 
@DCUKMod oh wow yes! CMT'd two berry recipes. If the birds don't git 'em, we'll have a couple of cups pf wild blackberries over the course of the summer and fall. If we don't eat them on the spot, I can try a mini-recipe.

When we first came to Australia nearly fifty years ago, we used to go to Baxters in Sandgate it was the best seafood restaurant in Brisbane. The seafood platters were all you can eat for around $30.00 and go back for a top up if you could fit more in.

Dunno if they are still there though as it has been a long time since I have been in that part of Brisbane.

Evening all.
Oh, and having made pate with the lambs livers, I tried some of that. No thanks. I officially don’t like liver! Smell and taste both waaaay too strong.

I liked liver on two occasions, when a college housemate cooked calves' livers à la her mother. I found them to taste better than my preconception (formed by having to served smothered liver with onions to the early-bird dinner crowd at the dime store restaurant I waitressed at during "gap year" during which I was supposed to "find myself", as one did in late 60's early 70's). My mom NEVER cooked liver, thank goodness! But every one of us loved liverwurst, which was too pricey to keep around all the timer. We were a bologna family, as were all my friends but one, whose mother knew how to make those light-as-air sweet delicacies you need a special frying iron shaped like a snowflake on the end of a marshmallow roasting stick with a right angle at the business end, only cast iron. Can anybody ID that memory for me? You sprinkle them with confectioner's sugar while they're still hot.
 
Evenin’ All,

B: Port Salut
L: smoked salmon pate/mousse (bought, but v LC)
D: oxtail

Got the oxtail on a trip to Tescos, and v glad i went! The fresh butchery counter had oxtails (got 2) and oxcheeks (got 6).
Since then, the instant pot has seen some use:
1 oxtails in, with stock and seasonings.
2 fished out the tails, leaving stock behind
3 added ox cheeks to same stock and cooked
4 took meat off cooled tails
5 took cheeks out of broth and put into freezer containers to cool
6 put bones into broth to cook for bone broth

Tomorrow, when the broth has cooled solid, i will squelch a tablespoon of it over each meat portion ready to freeze
And then drink the rest.

Result:10+ generous carnivore meat portions and 2.5 litres of stock.

Having said all that, am feeling slightly queasy.
Just reached for a cooled mug of herb tea to find a 2 inch slug on the rim.
Vile!!!
I don’t expect to find slugs on my crockery, in my living room.

2 theories, at the mo.
First is that twitty Jasmine the Puppy brought it in to play with on the sofa, and it migrated to the side table. Good job we are worming her regularly, eh?
Second option is that baby slug sneaked in through breeze block, and then grew. Don’t like this theory AT ALL. What has it been doing/eating while it grew. No. No. No. not an option.

We used to get them roaming round the house, too - but they haven't come back since we had that squirty cavity wall insulation done.

I've had dogs bring all kinds if things in to the house over the years but never slugs - I don't think they like the texture. Ewwwww
 
Lunch yesterday: Barbequed whiting fillets, salad.
Dinner: Chicken pieces, veggies, gravy.
Breakfast: Cheesey mushroom omelette, bacon, tomato.

Drinks: Black coffee / tea, no sugar /sweeteners, water.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee.
Lunch: Marmite soldiers made from 1/2slice of Soya and Linseed bread with two soft boiled eggs followed by Greek yoghurt and raspberries.
Mid afternoon at Cafe Nero: coconut cappuccino with a raspberry PhD bar
Dinner: lamb and mint burger with roasted Mediterranean veggies followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate granola.

Our female cat used to bring goodies in when I was on night shift at MIM, she used to drag frilly lizards onto my bed while I was trying to sleep. :***:

Here's a pix of a frilly, I did not embed it because of the flak from the nice spider pix, so if you do not like scary don't click the link then whinge about it...

Haven’t bought almond butter since hand got better, but likely would be ok - can get tops off bottled water now, so jars should be ok too. Not aiming to put it to the test just yet, although a couple of birthdays, including my Dad’s 80th, coming up in the next few weeks. As designated baker for both AB may have to be bought.

Ooh those yummy chocolate nut squares? Time I made some more too I think. I have no birthdays coming up but never mind.

What a strange looking critter. I know for an absolute fact that i wouldn't want to wake up in bed next to one of those!

Not popular here either. I have to have shoes in my bed. Because I do not like having squash and squelch under my feet as I walk to the bathroom.

And then I have to clean my feet and the floor. And then I feel sick...

Where do they come from?

>^..^<
 
Really the slug one is easy-- Little Jasmine Flower Power Pup either dragged it in, or it hitched a ride from when she inadvertently sat on it. I really don't think slugs would survive long indoors. I think you should toss Theory #2 ignominiously (I can say that here and nobody will laugh at me...!) out with the dish water. What do slugs have to do with worms? Are they vectors or whatever you call the intermediary?
Today's food had a very large amount of 90% chocolate in it after my normal walk-then-breakfast, each of which raised BG alarmingly. As, usually, does chocolate. Not today. I will never figure this out. I was rewarding myself for finally doing major tidying and then vacuuming and bed washing. All day spent just on the bedroom!
Good night all!

I’m the same - I enjoy it it it’s made for me but can’t bring myself to actually make it. It’s the liquidising bit which makes me feel a bit queasy.

You do know that the livers are cooked in butter first DJC3? . Puréeing the whole lot is the easy part. Trimming nasty bits off them first is revolting. But that’s a part time vegetarian talking there.

That’s loads of protein Tipetoo. I was just starting to twig that protein can push up the bg. Since I’m trying to see what makes my bg go up when I thought I’d had a very healthy meal, I’d be interested to know - does that make your bg go up?

That looks amazing. Not sure I’d like to find it in my bed though.
