Evening all.

Mixed day food wise, which ended better than it started.

Gave in to both a bag of cashews and some dark chocolate on the way to Kew Gardens. Combined they formed ‘brunch’.

Dinner was pork chops with a mix of buttered savoy and pointed cabbage. Followed up with a few raspberries.

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and an Aldi salted caramel bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and an Atkins bar.
Dinner: gammon steak with broccoli and cauliflower followed by SF orange jelly and cream.
 
Think I forgot to post yesterday, nd can't remember much now except pub meal in the evening where I ended up having 2 starters, one of crab and one asparagus with poached egg. All the other mains were too carby and they couldn't offer veg or salad instead of potatoes. Even the sald was laced with chicken peas. What I had was nice.

Today
Couple of spoonfuls ff greek
Exercise class
Mint tea, in the sunshine!
L : Pate on m&seeds crackers with some lettuce wrapped around tatsiki . 2 lc ginger cookies
Dance class
Dinner: cheese crusted ham omelette with 2 cherry tomatoes
 
Added some bacon cubes fried with cucumber (I love fried cucumber!) to the last leftovers of yesterday and the day before to have enough for a meal. :hungry:
Also had a couple of beers and some of my neighbour's whisky.

And then I saw someone needing a mate on a 3 masted sailing ship for friday and saturday in a Facebook group.
To give myself credit, I did check the weather forecast before reacting, but it's been a very long time between covid and general anxiety that I was sailing for work.

As a rule, you eat with the guests (those ships are manned by two professionals, me and the captain, plus some 30 paying guests). Food varies from spaghetti with ketchup with school groups to 5 course meals for family groups that happen to have an enthousiastic cook in the family, or it may happen you'll be taken out for dinner.
In this case it's a company outing with people from Belgium.

Which means it can go anywhere, foodwise.
Two full days of socialising and guiding people into the workings of the ship will likely stretch me to the max, mentally, without also throwing carb heavy food and trying to dose for it into the mix.
So I have a couple of days to work out a plan. In case of very good food, I'll want to eat with them, but if not or mediocre I'll want to have a back-up of something filling and low carb.
And of course I'll have to bring something easy for breakfast and lunch, but that's not so much of an issue. The guests will likely eat in the hold while I have to stay outside paying attention to the ship, very easy to transfer the fillings of their rolls to my slice of low carb bread.

I'll do some more thinking on it, but I sure make interesting decisions after drinking my neighbour's whisky! :hilarious:
And I'll send you a picture of course!

Enjoy your sailing. And enjoy your food, whatever it ends up being.

Just one meal today - a fry up of left-overs (butternut squash, fish cakes) plus a couple of fried eggs. There was quite a lot there and made me very full. That was about 10.30 this morning. Still feeling fairly full (4.20 pm) but I have awful indigestion; really painful - haven't had it so bad in months. Stomach has clearly had enough for one day.

Em had her covid jab yesterday and started feeling ill soon after. She's off school today. It's odd how it affects different people different ways. She's the only one in her family to have a bad reaction to it. I gather her elder sister has tested negative twice, but has lost her sense of taste. But she only had covid about 3 weeks ago. Maybe something else causing it, or maybe it's back.

Is Em not a little young for the Covid jab? I reacted both times to the Pfizer jab but I was fine with Moderna for the 3rd jab. As you say, they all seem to affect different people different ways.

The local health board offered the jag to all kids from 5 to 12. Em was a bit late getting hers because she was off with a bad chest but the rest of her class had theirs a week before. I don't know which one she had, but it knocked her back for a couple of days. She's right as rain now.

She earned her £5 bribe for not eating sweets for a week, and she intends to start on week 2 tomorrow. She says she's going to save it all up and put it towards starting a business with her 9 year old friend - making paper bags, apparently (paper being better than plastic).
 
Monday bed and FBG both 6.7 - this was going to be a day of changing the beds hoovering and dusting upstairs but I ended up here there and everywhere so it was 3 30 before I got started.

B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast with egg mayo

L. Nothing - no time

D. Using up cold cuts. Slice each wafer thin beef, ham, turkey, ox tongue, mortadella, coronation chicken, cheese coleslaw, 2 M&S crackers and a bit Port Salute cheese.

One of these M&S plums

Tuesday - not a lot to be honest. Boys staying the night plus I had Mum & Dad to get to the station. Bed 6.9 FBG 6.8.

B. TAG no time for anything else. Gardeners arrived and just had time to get bacon rolls made for them before rushing off to get Mum & Dad to the station.

L. 2 slices of SLC toast with salmon pate.

D. Having made Mac and cheese for everyone else and kept going with water as I had 2 boys to entertain, read stories too get ready for bed etc plus one anxious boy trying to get over his fear of staying away from home.

Eventually, I had 4 M&S crackers, bit of Port Salute, some whipped cheese and a pack of M&S pancetta crisps. 1 plum.

I was exhausted as the eldest was playing Mindfulness on a loop - very quietly but I was close to sleeping sitting up! He was fine by the way, and realises this was a huge step on getting over his anxiety.
 
Today Wednesday - @Riva_Roxaban chicken salt was one of the wonderful things ai'd bring back from Australia (or the SILs would bring it when they came to visit). Love it. @MrsA2 haven't touched the dark raspberry chocolate yet!
Bed 7.2 FBG 6.6.

B. TAG then 2 slices of SLC toast with salmon pate in between getting youngest showered, hair washed, dressed in school uniform (gym gear packed) and all because they told us at the last minute it was photo day for his class. Eldest did everything himself as well as checking quietly I was awake then ordering Papa to make Nana coffee. Oh I made their breakfast too.

L. Nothing

D. Having collected parents again and returned everyone home I had tge DD creamy, garlic parmesan chicken with wilted greens, asparagus and some avocado through it. Currently getting through some coconut milk.

Past 2 days we've walked back on forward to school as my house is quite close. Not easy for me but I made it.

Eldest grandson is feeling very pleased with himself after beating his fear (and so he should be). 20220323_183204.jpg
 
Hello everyone. Today I experimented with a Keto Cauli and savoy cabbage and onion mix, but I used kale (hadnt got a savoy). Big mistake. Thought the onion would make the kale taste better but it didn't and the kale didn't soften like cabbage would. So picked all the kale out and ate the cauli with a sausage stuffed pork chop It was edible. Teatime had 2 Ryvitas with philly and cherry tomatoes. And of course as a snack my chocolate. TY @maglil55, I wish I had never agreed to the op. I have to see the surgeon next week so will hopefully find out why my whole hand is so painful and unusable.
 
Two hard boiled eggs, low carb toast and vegimite for breakfast.
No smoko, just lemon cordial osomolax mix.
Tiger prawn and garlic chive (green bit) omelettes, mixed salad, orange jelly with spoonful of lemon / lime sorbet for lunch.
Steak and egg sandwich / burger for supper at six.

Handful of local shelled macadamia nuts watching Upload on Prime.
 
B: ff greek with seeds and blueberries
L: pub, 2 starters. 1 was mixed mushrooms in a cheesy sauce (gave bread to hubby), second was lamb kofta with salad and tatsiki.
Lovely walk on the South Downs near Brighton. Stunning views.
D: aubergine parmigiana with heck 97% sausages. 1 lc ginger biscuits.
 
Missed posting yesterday - busy day.

Two meals. A small brunch of the remaining pork rillettes from the other day, with crispy smoked streaky bacon. That’s definitely the way to eat them.

Main meal was around 1pm and on the run. Went back to the bbq food truck in Shoreditch and had steak and brisket with onions. Yum. Might become a staple! Did then succumb to four 75% chocolates from Venchi in the nearby Eataly. Delicious but the price will prohibit that happening too often!

Today’s main meal has just gone into the Instant Pot for a long, slow cook.
