Can anyone tell me why it’s called ‘corned’ beef? I’ve always wondered. Your homemade one looks great @Tipetoo

I can't really remember why it's called corned for salt silverside and brisket I did know, pork is always called pickled pork here.

A meal! Need a good clean first though.

Boiling will sterilise it. But whether you would want to eat it - that is a different matter.

Dinner tonight was Ricotta and Mushroom Stuffed Chicken. Mmmmmmm.... tasty and low carb

Good news you liked the Halloumi since you were unsure about it.

Yesterday’s food was:
Breakfast: usual slice HiLo toast, butter, tea x2
Lunch: egg mayo with little gem leaves, cucumber, 1 tomato.
Supper: 3 pan fried scallops followed by Halibut steak with tenderstem brocolli.
2 G&ST lots of water.

I have now completely got over any snacking between meals but if I need a ‘lift’ I turn to coffee. I never know what sort of coffee I like at home. We have a Tassimo which Son 2 who is a real ‘coffee head’ uses but I dont. If friends drop in I make a cafetière. I have tried the American granules (half instant, half ground beans they say) but dont really find that much different to instant granules and it costs more. Yesterday in Sainsburys I studied the coffee shelf for longer than any sensible person would reading the jars etc and finally settled on Blend 37 which I always liked but havent bought in years.

Edit: meant tried Americano granules not American!

Still a bit odd today - feeling much like the one and only time I had heatstroke when we were on a ship in the Red Sea. Perhaps it was something to do with dehydration/overheating. I was hoping to go to the town butcher and the fishmonger at the farmers' market but that just wasn't on. No more fresh fish until next Saturday now but I do have some smoked mackerel to keep me going.
Breakfast was a couple of oatcakes with Marmite dip (took extra insulin beforehand) plus tea and water.
Lunch was the last of my leek and squash soup.
Dinner will be roast chicken with Brussels sprouts. Still have to get lots of fluids in during the rest of the day.

Eaten today.

Because I ate a bit later yesterday, I wasn't able to start eating until 11am this morning. My stomach wasn't ready

11am Eggs on slices roast beef

About 1 pm I cooked broccoli and baby leaves and mushrooms in butter, and emptied the other half of yesterday's cheese and onion sandwich filler on it. I was very full.

I have some cream and strawberries to use up, but it was 3:30 before I could eat any more food. So threw the cream in mixer to make stiff, put a quarter spoonful instant coffee in. The strawberries had been next to icebox in my fridge so were half frozen. I threw out the soggy ones, and partly blitzed the rest of half frozen strawberries. It looked a mess, not photogenic, but tasted delicious....

I need an afternoon nap now...

That's it for food.
Water water, but need more water
Cups tea
cwc

Had yogurt with berries for breakfast.

Cucumber slices with cream cheese and smoked salmon on. Plus a squeeze of lime. Yum. Like blinis.

Planning a stir fry with chicken this pm.

Still trying to find my way in eating the right way.

Hi all.

Welcome to the thread @mouseee - am sure you’ll find plenty of food inspiration here.

Planned 2 meals today but timings have meant it ended up as a snack plus lunch.

Found myself ravenous while out shopping so bought a 30g cheese portion from M&S and a bag of Awfully Posh Pork crackling from Waitrose to eat on the way home.

Once home lateish lunch was Barnsley lamb chops (more of the on offer meat from the butcher) followed by extra thick double cream topped with almond butter and the remaining square of American 90% chocolate.

@Annb hope you soon feel better.

Ann read your post earlier which sounded scary. Thought I had replied. Hope you are getting better. Do you have a convenience store / small supermarjet near? You can usually find tinned fish (not the same I know but would get you through). Take care.

Hi Mouseee your food sounds good to me! I love a stirfry, good idea about the ‘blinis’.

 

[mouseee]

Ended up with 'burger in a bowl' which was amazing. Salad, burger broken up on top and a 'burger sauce' from a squirt of mayo, ketchup and white wine vinegar. It was amazing.

Thanks - I think I'm halfway back to normal. Should be OK by tomorrow. I've been pouring in the fluids, which should help. No 1 son is making bread right now -can't complain, he can't eat much other than home-made white bread and some soya products because of all his ailments, but it smells delicious and is making me hungry for bread!

Good news you liked the Halloumi since you were unsure about it.

I was a bit concerned about it by all the f.u.d. I had read about it here that we would not like it.. All unfounded as was totally the opposite to what was posted.

Found a new Haloumi brand which comes in bigger slab to try when we shop online next time.
