Hello everyone. A few questions! @Riva_Roxaban - what is Osmolax, is it something for regularity? (Just curious). @MrsA2, am going to do the fridge gravel. Could some Coconut or Almond flour be added to make fritters? @shelley262, How do you make high protein yoghurt? Would appreciate the recipe and method. I have already started to make Sauerkraut. I'm looking into Kimchi as well. Don't like the sound of fermented cheese! Am not feeling well atm so am just going to eat low carb if and when. I'm not really hungry.
 
Funny tummy again this morning so I had a slice of (white) toast to try to settle it down. It's OK and I will eventually have some of the cabbage I made yesterday as my one proper meal today.
 
Had my cabbage with a few added peas. Not very full but I'm better to go a bit easy on my stomach until it stops misbehaving.

Felt a bit energetic so fried off a whole punnet of mushrooms that Neil had bought for me - just broken up into butter and fried off. Neil pointed out that they were on their sell-by date so they should be used. They're cooked now so I can use them tomorrow and the day after.

Also roasted a halved aubergine intending to make Baba Ganoush for tomorrow but have changed my mind and I will finish it off as Imam Bayaldi, sort of. To make proper Imam Bayaldi I would have to leave the flesh in the aubergine skins and pile the rest of the ingredients on top but my way is to remove much of the flesh and mix it with the other ingredients before refilling the skins. Just as well to get ahead while I'm feeling like it - it doesn't happen very often.

Re yoghurt gave details to @MrsA2 last week on parallel thread. I use a yoghurt maker you get higher protein by simmering the organic milk and cream so it reduces and protein content is higher

Re fermented cheese I just meant real cheese as all traditionally produced cheese tends to be fermented eg vintage cheddar Stilton etc etc.i just wanted to identify those rather than the non live under fermented highly processed cheese such as dairylea,low fat and cheese slices etc!
Hope this helps and that your health picks up soon.

@RosemaryJackson
I haven't tried, and wouldn't think it would work as there's nothing to stick it all together. Perhaps add an egg to make a sort of batter? It's really just a way if using up what's at the bottom of the veg drawer. Adding more liquid, cooking until soft then blending gives soup.
