Today:

B: Two poached eggs topped with a knob of butter, avocado and crevettes, seasoned with a good grinding of black pepper.
Water to swallow tablet.
Espresso.

L: Clams with king prawns in white wine sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, onion, garlic, double cream, rosemary, butter and parmesan cheese.
Braised cavolo nero with garlic and toasted almonds.
Raspberries with full-fat Greek-style yoghurt
Water to drink.
Skipped pud.

D: Seafood salad made with brown shrimps, mussels, shredded red cabbage, apple peel, celery, thyme and baby plum tomatoes with a dollop of home-made aioli for dipping, topped with roasted macadamia nuts.

Busy day for me as well today. Breakfast a glass of goat milk kefir and 2 black coffees through the morning.
L- prawns and avocado with a dollop of h/m l/c Marie Rose sauce.
D- l/c lasagne and a crispy salad. I’ve tried many pasta alternatives for the lasagne sheets. Today was a very thin omelette which was ok. Better than the sliced courgette, blanched cabbage leaves, Edam slices or chicken slices. Best so far has been DietDoctor lasagna recipe but it’s a bit of a faff to make.
Afterwards I had a l/c ‘Bounty bar’ I made a batch for son in law’s birthday, he eats low carb as he’s into fitness and the gym but he loves Bountys. IMG_1720551025.668574.jpg

Hi All I am struggling to keep up so back to Sunday.
Brekkie was usual slice LC toast, copious tea.
Lunch was scrambled eggs finished with grated Parmesan.
Supper was meant to be bbq but the rain intervened so it all went in the oven. I ate a burger with lots of lettuce in a Brioche bun (so bad but they are hard to pass) 2 meaty sausages, 1 chicken skewer.
Monday same brekkie.
Lunch was a silly starter from a pub menu which was small bit of sourdough toast topped with tomato & chilli. Nothing else to choose from. The only salad was with Falafel?
Supper was Chinese t/a as it was my birthday. So a couple of orange gin & sodas followed by two sticky ribs, shared with Mr P and then King Prawn with ginger & spring onion which had enough bean sprouts to make it enough without any sides.
Yesterday Tuesday same usual brekkie.
Lunch was a hunk of Stilton with 4 Carrs water biscuits. Tea.
Supper was crustless quiche, coleslaw & salad.
Today usual brekkie.
Lunch am out to a different pub with a different friend, hoping to find something suitable, likely a starter.
Supper is unknown will dip into supermarket to look for something
I am trying to be good but I’m in a bit of a fed up mindset trying to eat nice and safe food just being too much. It might have something to do with I am now officially an OAP!
