Posh pork scratchings

Cheesey cabbage with 1 bacon cut up, a small coffee with cream (decaf)

Doner kebab, no pitta
Nut ball with 2 strawbs & cream

BG seems to be hanging around 5.7, I've cut out my insulin shot in the morning, hoping to reduce evening one next week, HBA1c results on 17th. can't wait!!
 
Has anyone got a source of reasonably priced posh pork scratchings? I got them from a seller on Amazon, for a while, but the only ones for sale there now are at silly prices...
 
Tea
cabbage
Thai chicken curry 12.5 grams in sauce
Slim water rice ...no carbs

Not hungry today due to nausea from tablets.

I got mine from amazon also, they were at £7.49 though, I guess like most amazon items add to wish list and watch for it to be on sale, I think waitrose might sell them and Harvey nicks etc but no doubt more expensive, sorry not much help
maybe you could try durian again lol
 

Durian: :***:

I'll settle for the recipe - assuming you used a different one from the Spice Men's?

Recipe? I didn't do this one to any recipe.

I browned a couple of sliced onions, then used those to line the bottom of the slow cooker. I then browned the short ribs, in the same oil, then places on top of the onions. I added a leek, some mushrooms, a carrot, a parsnip (Sorry, sorry !), a bit of seasoning, a beef stock pot, 250ml red wine, and enough water to just cover the other ingredients.

I set this to High for an hour, then turned down to low and ignored for 9 hours.

At this stage, I fished out the bones, which were completely clean. I ladled off as much liquid as I could, and reduced it to about a third to intensify the flavours.. Whilst the liquid was reducing, I fished out the chunks of beef and pulled, as you might the pork, and put it back into the dish, along with the reduced stock.


I served on a bed of steamed kale, and it tasted better than I thought it would when cooking it.


There's a lot of it. If anyone's passing, pop in and pick up a vat. There'll be enough!!
 
Breakfast scrambled egg bacon
Lunch 1/2 nectarine, slice ham, slice beef, cheese
Snack 1sq dark chocolate. Also pinched a sq of junior's milk choc with smarties. Far too sweet.
Dinner chilli, cheese, salad
 
Crustless quiche
Bulletproof coffee
Gouda and pork scratchings (not posh, threw most away)
DIY burger and cauli cheese (M&S - delish! Thanks Mr B!)
Berries n cream

A lot of food today, but needed serious fueling - a 6 hour meeting presenting 2 months work - quite draining.

However, am now on hol for 6 days.

I've got to ask ...where does the maple syrup come in ? do you have it on the sausages ?
 
Bacon, scrambled eggs, coffee

Low carb cheesecake

Smoked trout salad, diet coke

Cheeseburger, lettuce, ketchup, mayo. Diet coke

Will try super hard not to eat anything later but I can hear the Turkish yoghurt and strawberries calling me...

Yes, a little drizzle over it is yum! It's like how they have their sausage and pancakes in America

I used to love marmalade with my sausages and on fried bread - can't do that any more, but will try the sausage/maple syrup thing

It is a Cathedral city wrapped portion. 12g and 50cals apparently. I am safest with restricted portions of the stuff , at least until I lose a bit more weight. Though I do have a nice Wensleydale lurking in fridge for supper.
