What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[LivingLightly]

They sure are, and very much alive!
It's about a 50/50 thing what language people choose to use when they don't know if you speak Friesian or not. Often they switch to Dutch if you reply in Dutch, sometimes they stick to Friesian, especially if it's clear from your reply you didn't have any trouble understanding.
The province of Friesland has a relatively large newspaper, which is about half and half in Friesian, and the very professional and much watched/listened to main Friesian TV/radio company is as good as all Friesian, unless they interview someone from outside the province.

And on social media, even the youth uses a lot of Friesian, sadly with a spelling as bad as they have in Dutch. But still, the language is alive!

On topic: Chicory and hummus, and a piece of 85% chocolate are waiting for me in bed, I'll join those now.

Night night @Antje77. Sweet dreams.

Hi All
So to yesterday, usual brekkie of slice LC toast, butter, copious tea.
Lunch was another slice LC toast with Dairylea on top, needed something speedy. Tea.
Supper was baked lightly spiced chicken breast with broccoli.
@Antje77 well done for your shift painting on that beautiful ship, sounds like you enjoyed it as did your feet! Hope today is just as good, am assuming there’s a team of you and you’re not the only one painting the whole ship LOL
@jpscloud hug for the tweaked back and thanks for helping me decide my Easter lunch. Just the two of us and Mr P fancies first bbq of the year. One way or another I will be having lamb steak with Greek salad.
We have meeting of our clan here on Good Friday with the star guest my 4 mo grandson. Planning cold fish & seafood platter, good bread for those who can, big mixed salad, the cheeseboard and Colin the Caterpillar meets Easter Lamb (M&S) with mixed berries. My boys have never grown out of Colin!
Lunch today will be cheese, pickles and three small water biscuits. Tea.
Supper will be 3 meaty sausages with mixed veg.
Has anyone tried Peroni 00 its a fave with my lads when driving and always in our fridge. I’m not a beer drinker but it would be a glorious treat from the fridge on a hot day after a spell of gardening.

Having fondly remembered Colin from M&S I had to Google the Easter lamb…so cute. Tomorrow I’ll start making a chocolate cake hedgehog. Not for me alas, but a very late January birthday!

a working in the garden and knitting day.
Breakfast was lc toast with my favourite Gruyere.
Lunch, sourdough spelt with smoked brisket, red cabbage and more gruyere with the first portion of my first ever homemade sauerkraut. I was very impressed with it.
Dinner was a portion of roast lamb I found in the freezer. (Must have stashed it there before we went south), mashed cauliflower with garlic and horseradish, and green beans from last years garden, all slathered with real British mint sauce.
Been fighting a cold I think so needed more insulin than normal.

Erm...why?

Waitrose had fresh herring in. Tasted lovely.....

 

[filly]

I'm fond of fresh herrings, especially the males with their creamy soft roes. They're at their best from June to August (I used to love rollmops too, but they're off the menu now, thanks to all the caster sugar.)

When I was a child dad used to make me herring roe on Toast....

 

[sueh21]

L Hummous (think I spell that differently every time!) feta and salad
D Early dinner on a Tues before fitsteps class, mishmash of bits, corned beef, hard boiled egg, celeriac mash,mushrooms and courgette.

You'd think that, being on this island, with a good few herring fishermen, we would be able to get gresh herring. But we can't. I think they all offload directly to a mainland port and they get sold to the mainland market rather than bringing some home here.

Still trying to figure out what to do about breakfast and 2nd meal today. Don't want to have more of the stovies this morning nor do I want bacon, for some reason. Could have strawberries and cream, but that won't keep me going for long. I'll work something out,l but it will have to be quite soon - BG is dropping and is currently just above 4.0.

Quick post for yesterday before start today's eating. I had a few eye issues yesterday blurring so difficult to focus with a slight head ache so gave screen a rest just one of those things. Lovely to be back to normal and catch up with everyone.
@MommaE good to hear your sauerkraut worked out. Like you I've ended up looking at M and S Colin the caterpillar s new friend courtesy of @PenguinMum.
Food yesterday
Kefir then two boiled eggs and LC roll
No lunch just sipped peppermint tea
Dinner left over beef and English asparagus also had a few squares of Montezuma s 100% with orange oil.
Planning today to put Bolognese in slow cooker for main meal. May also start some new hm bifido yoghurt.

I knew I could count on my forum friends to keep my secrets safe!

I read and understand Friesian just fine, and I'm comfortable singing some Friesian songs.
Speaking, no. I only moved here 10 years ago, and all the Friesians speak Dutch as well. Besides, in the area where I live, they use a different dialect, which is substantially different from official Friesian so I gave up.

Still, I encounter a lot af casual Friesian (or the local dialect) in supermarkets, the swimming pool, the pub, so I'm happy to be able to join the conversation even if my contributions are in Dutch.
I may or may not have been speaking Friesian on some very drunken nights in a pub a long time ago. Thankfully everyone had plenty to drink so no-one remembers...

I can still remember one song I learned in 1959. Daar bij die molen, die mooie molen, Daar woont een meisje waar ik zo veel van houd. Daar bij die molen, die mooie molen, daar zal ik wonen als zij eens wordt mijn vrou.!!!!

Breakfast: Ham and a selection of cheeses. Followed by a few strawberries (imported and not very ripe or very tasty).

2nd meal will be sausages and swede chips.

I've just pickled some cucumber in ACV. The cucumber that Neil bought on Thursday was very long and I used what I wanted of it on Friday. I'm unlikely to want any more of it this week - so pickled it needs to be.

 

[filly]

coffee and cream x 2
Sausage, bacon, egg, mushroom and tomato
Cottage cheese and tomato

 

[jessj]

Me too.

Me three! It is so difficult to find now, but managed last month, in a little fish shop in New Milton. Boy, it was expensive, but I got some for my sis & me. It was absolutely delish & memories made it taste that much better.

Dinner will be steak, avocado & a couple of cherry toms.

If you want to hear it again, here it is, with subtitles if you turn them on.

Today was another of trying to get rid of most of the rust on the winch to hoist the sail with, lots of rain so not really a fun working day. The rust of course is in all the hard to reach nooks and crannies. Pic to give you an idea.



I didn't feel like bringing another low carb sandwich for breakfast/lunch, so I brought 3 duck eggs (ate two) and a piece of dried sausage.
I went to the gym straight from the shipyard, and only found out that my face was full of black dirt and rust when I got there. The funny thing is, my friend arrived at the gym full of white dust, she had been doing woodwork on a different shipyard!

The cold swim afterwards was very welcome to get rid of everything sticking to our faces and in our hair!

Looks like a tough and fiddly job well done you on managing despite the rain as well as taking your delicious low carb snack. You must be very proud of how it's going but no doubt looking forward to (hopefully) an Easter Weekend break. It's quite chilly here we managed some fence painting in between showers but needed gloves!

 

[shelley262]

So much rain last few months and has led to cancellation of our towns annual duck Race which was planned for Easter Monday. Everyone taking part drops their ducks - home made or the little plastic ones - from the bridge and canoeists are a few meters down at end of town boundary both to judge winners and also net all the ducks so they don't go downstream and pollute the river. It's too high for canoeists to be safe.this is what it usually looks like!

So no fun duck throwing this year!
Today
Small kefir then out fence painting in between showers
Lunchtime scrambled three eggs served with one slice of LC toast followed by hm yoghurt and frozen berries
Dinner hm Bolognese then LC berry crumble

What a pity for the race to be cancelled, it looks great fun! The weather is awful, so cold, windy and rainy today. Well done to you for getting anything done in these conditions!

 

[DJC3]

@MommaE another fan of sauerkraut and fermented veg in general here!
@shelley262 glad your vision issues have gone. It’s quite ironic that the duck race has been cancelled due to the wet weather! I know your area is prone to flooding so I hope it goes down soon. I’m heartily sick of rain.
@Annb Pickled is the only way I like cucumber. I’d never come across it before meeting my husband’s Yorkshire family. They had it with Sunday tea or any buffet meal.
@Antje77 that’s a perfect egg! Glad you didn’t have to climb up that mast by the way.
Todays food..
No breakfast as I have Aquafit Wed am.
L- tuna Niçoise salad then h/m yoghurt with seeds and blueberries.
D- Sow cooked turkey leg, shredded and mixed with a pot of leftover butter chicken sauce I found in the freezer. Added some mushrooms and served with broccoli. Couple of glasses sugar free white wine and a DGF Notella egg

Alas, no such luck here in London @filly. I'm told much of the catch is snapped up by the kipper, pickling and canning industries. As a result, fresh herrings are becoming a rarity on supermarket fish counters.
