What have you eaten today?

Replied over on parallel thread.

 

Hi All
Yesterday’s supper took an unexpected turn after peering in the fridge...toasted chunks of aubergine, red onion and tomatoes sprinkled with EVO and Italian dried herbs accompanied by two good pork sausages.
Today is oc Fishfinger Firsday (@ianpspurs owns the trademark). Glad you enjoyed the goose and St Emilion, I would have liked that but Mr PM wouldnt.
@maglil55 thanks for the soup recommendations. I dont like cream but I assume a swirl of FAGE yogurt would be ok. Agree about the white pepper @DJC3 essential in egg dishes and even moreso in swede, celeriac or any mash. Have just ordered a swede in this week’s farm box.

 

Haha great! See if @Goonergal ( any any other nut butter addicts) are in, then let’s pick a date. We should probably all tickle our tastebuds with a spoonful immediately it’s open, just to make it harder to resist.

 

Thanks , that's a great idea. You've really sold it too me. I'm adding that straight to my "to do" list, it must class as urgent maintenance ;^)

 

Is that the same as Gravlax which I know as salmon cured with sugar, salt and dill and served with a dill & mustard sauce? It certainly doesn't get buried. It's a variation on smoked salmon and served as an appetiser.

 

Yep - you're right! Well, that's ok, I will just have to lift my keto baking game in the near future! At least I have plenty of recipes already from here to try out and I bought Carolyn Ketchum's book "The Ultimate Guide to Keto Baking" a little while ago, so that should provide further inspiration.

 

Noooo! Black pepper, freshly ground. I'm assuming you are all talking about the orange swede we call turnip not the little white fleshed ones? I suppose it's all what you are brought up on but Burns night your Haggis, neeps and tatties - tatties were always turned into a beautiful smooth & creamy mash (with butter and the top of the milk if you didn't have cream) and the neeps (turnip) mashed with loads of butter & black pepper. You did not dare deviate from Granny's recipes!

 

Oh dear, I'm about to be excommunicated...I season swede (orange turnip) with butter, lots of black pepper and even more NUTMEG. Delicious

 

I may have bought a pot today - not yet opened! We’ll have to have the same size pot/jar - otherwise the competitor in me will find the biggest jar available!

 

Evening all.

@PenguinMum I won’t lower the tone by sharing my misreading of the first line of your post. Suffice to say I’m still chuckling to myself.

A very odd day of eating today, and a hungry day.

Breakfast/brunch around 10am (having been up from 5am it felt more like brunch) of salami and chorizo.
During a long morning meeting also ate about 60g 90% chocolate and a bag of pork puffs.
Late lunch of doner kebab meat and onion - after an over running morning meeting, stepped out for a short walk and decided a take away was in order.

Still stuffed so unlikely to eat anything else.

 

Yes they say cinnamon lowers blood sugars - I don't know if it does or not - slc bread is seriously good!

 

Skipped breakfast
L: a scramble of eggs, bits of roasted pepper and cheese
Mid afternoon, a handful of brazils (I must get out of this habit)
D: pork belly from the airfryer cooked in a cajun rub. Bit hot so a side of yoghurt with cucumber and mint. A Yes bar

 

7.30am - 2 slices slc bread toasted with corned beef and tomato washed down with a mug of earl grey tea

3pm (after work) a much needed mug of earl grey with some walnuts and another slice of corned beef

5pm - breast of chicken with a little nandos sauce on top with a small side salad. 2 squares of lindtt 90% dark with peanut butter on top

 

Breakfast: Cheese omelette (again! I love cheese and eggs)
Lunch: A bit naughty, but a chicken wrap as I was out. Still below my daily carb "limit", I guess. Postprandial BG was 7 mmol/L.
Dinner: Gonna be 2 pork loin steaks and probably another cheese omelette depending on how hungry I get I suppose!

Ultrasound of the liver tomorrow too

 

Haha good point. And a good excuse for an enormous jar. How big is the jar you have?

 

227g. We might have to translate that into ounces for @zauberflote
