Bewdley where I live was taken by surprise last night with a storm Dennis flash flood on top of the predicted normal river rise so environment agency were having to work waist high in flood water to try and sort out our flood barriers - difficult times and a very fierce River Severn. Some properties got flooded for first time in 20 years as, in past, floods have been more predictable but this was sudden. Environment agency had predicted peak for Tuesday but got it wrong - mind you it all seems a bit unpredictable at the moment and I’m pleased I live up the valley a bit! I sometimes curse the climb up back home from the shops in Bewdley but not today!
Too bad that bottle of chocolate cream liqueur has already been confiscated by your daughter@Antje77 I love your plates but have nothing of suitable style to barter with. I like the traditional Dutch one best.

I'd offer to barter the plate for puppy-kisses when I visit the UK come may, but I'm afraid I'd be dancing too close to one of the C12 rules: 'No soliciting', which of course doesn't do as a Mod

Good thing I'll get my next 3 months worth of insulin in april. This means I should have enough to survive my holiday in early may
Definitely trying that for my next omelette!L. Made that DD crusted cheesy omelette. Tomato, bacon but interestingly you put grated cheese in the pan and let it melt before added the beaten eggs. That forms the crust and it's very good.
Bed 5.6 FBG 6.1. @Annb - been there with Minecraft. The world of Iron Gollums, Creepers and creeper zombies. Grandson now codes to create the things he wants in the worlds so yes, it is a learning tool as well. @shelley262 - that does indeed look awful. We had a wild, windy night but thankfully not enough rain to come up though the drains. Don't know how high the Esk is but I'm not about to venture out to find out. @DJC3 - I'll have a go at cabbage mash but you might have to wait a bit. I really need to be in a cabbage mood for that. @ianpspurs - I too spotted the 23 eggs but @shelley262 beat me to it. My thought was you'd gone all Diet Doctor on us.
Sunday - I actually got a quiet day, no call outs to go anywhere, no grandsons, Hubby watching football so I got on with a pile of ironing and started washing the sofa covers. Grandsons are staying Thursday & Friday this week so I was doubting my wisdom over the sofa covers but they needed washing.
B. Just TAG.

D. Made the DD chicken curry in the IP. Added more veggies to it - broccoli, green beans, carrot ribbons, mini cobs and had it with cauli rice. A small Skyr later and my usual campari and soda.
https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/jills-cheese-crusted-omelet@maglil55 I think I found the omelette recipe but there are so many chicken curry recipes could you post the link to the one you enjoyed please. I am determined to find things from DD I can actually like or perish in the process. The weights in the omelette recipe look far more realistic than the allegedly personalised meal plan they provided me with. I remain sceptical about enjoying cream in my omelette but hey nonny ho. I seem to have totally set my face against DD but those are 2 meals I like so I am desperately hoping they will break my (irrational?) dislike. TIA
Link to the omlette is in the reply to @ianpspurs above.The crusted omelette sounds great. I don't miss many foods, but I used to love the crust sometimes formed under a paella. I've only achieved it once, with my cauli rice Pretendy Paella.
I'll definitely be trying the crust.
Thanks you so much @maglil55. Now you have gone to so much trouble I am duty bound to give it a try. Spicing for us would need to be very mild as Julie a) doesn't like much spice and has severe pain if she ever eats anything very spiced by accident.https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/jills-cheese-crusted-omelet
It won't surprise you to hear I adapted the curry recipe mainly because I prefer to do my own spicing. This is the basis of the recipe. What I changed-
https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/low-carb-curry-chicken
I blitzed 1 onion, 1/2 red chilli, about a thumb sized bit of ginger and a couple of garlic cloves to form a paste which I then fried off in the IP for 3 or 4 mins. If it sticks I add a dash of water. Then I added sliced onion (Hubby likes onion in his curry). Added a bit of butter together with ground turmeric, cumin and coriander (about a teaspoon of each). Depending on how hot you like curries, also add 1 or 2 teaspoons hot chilli powder. The butter should be enough to stop it sticking but a dash of water helps if necessary. Add the skinned/boned chicken thighs (I kept them whole as the IP makes them very tender). Keep mixing to colour the chicken. I then added my veggie assortment - mini cobs, green beans, tenderstem broccoli and ribbon bits of carrot. It looked a bit dry to put under pressure so in went about a 1/2 cup of chicken stock with some chopped tomatoes in it. Check seasoning, up to pressure and about 20 mins plus slow release.
I took a portion out and added coconut cream to mine (I don't like the heat as much as Hubby) so that cooled it a little. Added fresh chopped coriander at the end.
You have to watch the liquid content. I've got it wrong before and ended up with a too thin curry sauce that then needs reducing. Slow cooking let's you see it a bit better. View attachment 38716View attachment 38717
