@Antje77, I would say thawed or defrosted, then it's venison for any deer meat. Enjoy your concert & meal tomorrow, and your dip, the cold water kind.

Dinner tonight was ribeye steak with a trial of swede air fries that will be done again, they were nice. I also had some leftover pureed buttery, peppery swede & had that too. Followed by my last hm lc mince pie with cream.

Thank you on both the linguistics and the friendly wishes for tomorrow!
I was almost certain that deer/roe had a different name when eaten but the Google wasn't helpful this time.
I like the word thawed better than defrosted so I'll stick to thawed (and wondering why it isn't thawn but not asking because this thread is about food and I still have that pesky retired mod badge urging me to not derail too much even at 2:30 am).

Your meal sounds lovely!

After some disappointing results from a recent blood test (not that anyone has been in touch over it, just because I checked it myself, now that I can) I am going to have to try really hard to turn it around again. So for a little while I will be as close to carnivore as possible.

Breakfast is often OK so I'll stick with my bacon and eggs.

2nd meal will be smoked mackerel omelette.

Dislikes
Spicy food which is too hot. Nasty people who have no idea on your life journey but feel the need to comment and be cruel.
I am usually so good but last few days been a bit stressful. Including today.
Delivery problems of all sorts. Then went out and shopped else where and ate 2 none LC rolls and felt positively ill!(with turkey)
Coffee and cream x 2
Coffee and unsweetened almond milk
Corned beef
Cheese and salami
B/S ok before the rolls but doubt they will be later

You're welcome, @Antje77! Languages are quite often difficult to translate like for like, I s'pose that's the joy of them. ;)

For dinner this evening I had an lc cheeseburger with your Branmayo, Antje77, that is now my go to for a burger. :happy:
Then 6 cherries as a treat.

@filly hope you feel better now, your experience with a non-lc roll is perhaps similar to that of @shelley262 ‘s friend who started eating carbs in holiday and suffered for it. It’s hard when there’s nothing else on offer though.
@Annb good luck with the near carnivore woe. It made a significant difference to my BGs when I tried it before Christmas.
Todays food:
B: 2eggs smoked salmon and avocado.
L- slices of cold roast beef with salad of rocket, red pepper, Stilton and pumpkin seeds. Choc chia pud to follow.
D- https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/keto-garlic-mushroom-chicken-thighs very easy and delicious.

I almost managed to eat a proper meal, but just before I arrived at that point, the road diverted and I ended up with crackers again instead, :banghead:

I made a nice cauliflower puree with a generous amount of Branston pickles mixed in, I thawed (is that the right word or should it be defrosted? What's the difference?) a container of Christmas leftover deer (or maybe roe) stew a friend gave me (again, is it still called deer when it's food or should I call it something else? Your language is harder with unusual foods! :hilarious: ), and then I got distracted by finishing my new couch and a side table and it was too late for proper food.

No problem, two crackers, one with a nice stinky Christmas cheese and one with egg mayo (store bought) did the job. A chicory head with hummus will be eaten later on to provide some vitamins. By now I sure hope there's a lot of vitamins in chicory, I've been depending on that for at least a week. :hilarious:

Tomorrow will be an adventure, and proper food will be had. :)
I'll be visiting a friend in the city of Groningen to see a concert, and I'll spend the night on her ship with my dogs. We'll share the cauliflower puree and the deer stew before the concert, and she'll add a salad as well. :joyful:
I'll also bring my swimming stuff, she lives on a sailing ship so I've got to try the water. :)

@Annb feel for you with your blood tests it is so difficult getting everything balanced. Personally I find that my LDL cholesterol goes up more the closer to carnivore I go and although I'm not convinced that high LDL is necessarily bad for me as I have also low trigs and high HDL it's always tough when medics view it as bad. I also find carnivore difficult as I like veggies and fermented food. We all have to work out our best path that works for us. Do remember too that a lot of blood tests like cholesterol and some of the kidney related ones are not static but can go up and down for example I've found that the better hydrated I am in the days before my blood draw my blood is easier for them to take but also results often better generally!
Today's food
Mid am small kefir and supplements
Lunch smoked trout and kimchi

The weather was so horrid I couldn’t persuade Dennis out for his afternoon walk so I did something I never do - put the tv on in the daytime! We curled up on the sofa and watched a new Netflix series while I had a low carb cinnamon donut and coffee and he had a chew toy.
I need an "envious" emoji for that afternoon. My idea of heaven :)

I have avoided the kimchi since it upset my tummy but the prebio supplements I had to take again seems to have calmed everything down - I thought it was the kimchi but it could even have just been hormones - I am absolutely fine with kefir which I take regularly with my berries x

I was lucky with the LCFC, I’d just ordered when they stopped trading and they were back in business when I needed more.
My foot isn’t such good news, I’m still in a surgical boot and on crutches and it’s not really getting better :(

Can't remember when I last posted exactly.
Had to do another dash to other end of country and back again.
Packed a box of almonds, olives and cheese, and took a bag of chicken crackling and one of cheesies as emergency supplies.
Ate some of the box for lunch yesterday then ate several biscuits at a meeting in the afternoon (too tempting when left in the centre of the table)
D was cooked turkey reheated in a curry sauce. Boys also had rice and Christmas cake.
I did eat about 4 chocolates in the evening (again proving I only avoid them at home by not having them in the house. Am just a girl who can't say No)
A couple glasses red wine

B: today was 2 hard boiled eggs bought en route yesterday
Lunch the rest of my packed box, a glass white wine

Snack in the car: the chicken crackling, bbq flavour. The seasoning was strong and sweet so couldn't eat much, even though packet says lc. Would have been better with less seasoning. In fact even between hubby and me we didn't finish the one small packet.

D: a fish in sauce (from the freezer) served with sprouts and carrots cooked with bacon.
A glass white
Later a hm lc cinnamon muffin and a scoop ice cream.

Still conscious I'm comfort and stress eating, but at least back home now I can be a lot more lc.

So sorry to hear about your foot.
I've just made my first order with LCFC to try their LC rolls and pasta had a free delivery code offered as a new customer but delivery not until end of next week.
