What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Today:

My mouth is watering! Unfortunate,I'm reading this just before bed and I really don't want to eat any more tonight. In any case, the food in my fridge is not half so interesting as yours. I need to be more enterprising in my shopping.

 

[Alexandra100]

dollop of my fermented veg

I'd love a recipe /instructions. I'm wanting to ferment my own but lack confidence.

Seafood salad made with brown shrimps and mussels

Please, how are your mussels prepared? Do you cook your own? Where do you buy them? I used to buy them in a jar, but the vinegar was too strong for my taste.

 

[Alexandra100]

I finished my workday with a quick swim from the ship I work on, followed by a rush to a supermarket to buy a dried sausage to eat on my way to the gym at 4 PM.
A second swim after the gym

I'm SO impressed!

Morning all. Today's menu is a bit strange. I'm trying to empty my freezer so I've got sausages, a small piece of salmon, some mashed potato and some peppers. Could be interesting.

Do you know the origin of the salmon? @IanBish. Doesn't look like the Pacific sockeye we tried recently, does it?

My mouth is watering! Unfortunately, I'm reading this just before bed and I really don't want to eat any more tonight.

How wise @Alexandra100. It's not good to eat late at night. We may be able to get away with it when we're young, but as we age, it's sensible to give our pancreas and liver a rest overnight.

I'd love a recipe /instructions. I'm wanting to ferment my own but lack confidence.

A forum member recently started a thread on this. She's currently on holiday.
I did some following her instructions and it worked well for me. Less than half a white cabbage made loads!

Evening @Alexandra100. I buy my mussels from our trusty independent fishmonger. We're fortunate to have one within strilking distance and, if we don't use them, we lose them!

B: full fat greek yoghurt with 8 blackberries and milled seeds. Cwc
Went to Opticians and something sparked a migraine (lights, noise, perfumes, hard looking, who knows?) So spent rest of the morning dozing in a dark room, which wasn't the plan

L: at pub, ham eggs and chips. Very good, very large portion of ham, 2 good eggs and I ate about 6 chips (it was too cold and wet to order salad instead). Drank only lemon and ginger tea.

D: cheeses, cucumber, 2 cc chocolate pots, one with cream

No it wasn't, @LivingLightly, it was frozen, but it did say wild on the pack. It was this:
