What have you eaten today?

Our Woolies online groceries have just been delivered, we were notified of a couple of substitutions one of which was low carb wraps.

They gave us a new brand called Simpsons Pantry High Protein Low Carb wraps instead of Helga's.

They are a lot less carb with only 5 grams per wrap, plus being cheaper

I wouldn’t expect an explosion, but having seen what happens to ‘loose’ pepperoni, I would expect scrambled egg attached to the sides of the fryer!

 

I sometimes use cabbage as a substitute for pasta. So, whatever pasta sauce (meat/tomato/cream) would work well with cabbage. One can be creative!

 

It’s nice with sprite and 7up zero

 

That sounds nice

 

On the Islands we don't see it very often but the endives we do see (Belgian endive) are not the frilly ones of your picture, but small cup-shaped leaves; sometimes pale green and sometimes red. The leaves are very tightly wrapped in a kind of tulip shape.

The one in your picture is called curly endive or Frisee. Haven't seen it for years but I think it is more bitter than the ones we can get.

There is another one called Escarole which I have seen but never tasted. I gather that it is a bit less bitter in the middle but the outer leaves are tougher and more bitter and useful for cooking.

 

I buy these from Morrisons, though they are far too expensive (albeit cheaper than in Waitrose), because I love the crispness and slight bitterness. They keep very well in the fridge and leaves can be peeled off to suit. For those who like the taste, endive leaves could stand in for bread.

 

That's a good offer, less than half price!

 

In Bolivia (and no doubt other countries in that neck of the woods) guinea pigs are kept for their meat. A friend was visiting a Bolivian household with her children. They admired the tribe of guinea pigs running around the kitchen floor. Asked which they liked best, they picked the prettiest. Imagine their horror when it was immediately butchered and cooked for their dinner!
PS @Antje77 the bones were the least of their troubles.

 

breakfast; lc granola, hi lo toast with butter
lunch; chacuterie selection from deli, 3 batons hotel chocolat 85%
dinner; SLC not cross bun, raspberries and cream
snack; mocha and a small handfull of salted popcorn

hmm, not a nutritious day, but at least I had some raspberries! Hi lo visit to sainsburys this morning only resulted in three loaves one of which I realised the packaging had split when I got home. Three loaves will last a while but at one point I had 14 loaves frozen as back up (sainsburys is a long way from our house)

Also, Hotel Chocolat 85% hot chocolate was delivered today. Looking forward too trying these as an odd treat. They're 7.7gms per sachet

 

I know I couldn’t believe it there normally £2.89 a box they are really nice to, I’m going buy these from now on. Can I just ask were do you buy your lc Granola and what’s in it and do you put milk on it like almond milk? I’ve never tried it x

 

Spent most of the day cooking for tomorrow’s 2nd Christmas do. (For the family who weren’t here on actual Christmas)
B- 2 fried eggs on Gouda on smoked ham.
L- LoDough quiche as there was a bit of filling left after I’d filled the crust of tomorrow’s chicken curry pie. DGF cake and cream.
D- chicken breast in mushroom and garlic sauce with green beans then a handful of 100% chocolates. @Goonergal how are you doing with the the chocabstinence? I can’t believe I haven’t even lasted a week.

 

I used to make my own but going through a lazy period! At the moment I'm eating Berry and Almond from the Paleo Foods Co with a little almond milk but probably good with greek yoghurt. It's 5.9g carbs per 40g bowl. It's very seedy obviously, and I get it from ocado. As with all low carb non home made stuff its expensive, I've seen it in Sainsbury's but not sure who else stocks it. They do other varieties but not checked out the carbs on those yet.
