Yes, I have plenty of garden herbs...no balsamic vinegar.i will have to look @LivingLightly
Yes, I have plenty of garden herbs...no balsamic vinegar.i will have to look @LivingLightlyIndeed @Krystyna23040 and @gennepher. Wouldn't it be easier and more pleasurable to make a nice salad dressing? A teaspoon of balsamic vinegar (no more), some garlic (if liked) plus garden herbs (at this time of year we are spoilt for choice).

Good to have you here and contributing Derek. To add to the olive oil discussion as per @LivingLightly I use 3 tablespoons on my salad* dressing, which is almost a fixed part of my diet, with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (organic, with mother) and 1 tsp of Dijon mustard. Also use it in cooking - only really ever fry salmon on Friday to make the skin crispy, but all roast veggies are coated in it (put in a bag and tossed about to coat)J̌
If this is right Southern Europeans should have very little joint pain?
Having said that I don't have much joint pain myself but I do use a lot of Lidl extra virgin.
Don't like drinking it but I do use enough cooking which improves taste when heated.

I upped my EGO intake about a month ago - using a cheaper EVO from Aldi that is much milder.
It is definitely more pleasurable to make a nice salad dressing with it but we only have a salad 2 or 3 times a week - not every day.Indeed @Krystyna23040 and @gennepher. Wouldn't it be easier and more pleasurable to make a nice salad dressing?
Just add a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar (no more), some garlic (if liked) plus garden herb(s)(at this time of year we are spoilt for choice) to your tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.

That is such a shame @gennepher. I really do hate technology sometimes (actually quite often).Fbg 6.5
No Wildlife Nighttime videos for maybe a week, or longer.
I had intended giving up at Xmas this year anyway. I had intended giving up last year, but I was persuaded to go on another year to Xmas 2024.
I don't know what the problem is this time, but I edit the video in iMovie.Everything seems fine. I have spent an hour and a half editing. Then downloaded, and half the video is missing, that is it is just black. I wasted all evening and half the night re-editing the video and downloading again, but the same problem. I tried using less clips...half the video was still black when downloaded, yet it was fine, all there is the app as I edited.
I deleted the app, reinstalled it. That took to 4 am this morning. Tried once more, choosing clips, re editing it. It was fine in the app, downloaded it and half the video black again. The blackness appears sporadically in the video after I have downloaded. So, I have wasted this morning, until 9 am now.
I had things planned for this morning, sorting, rearranging, tidying, clearing out, and for this week. So,near this has taken all my energy for today. I have used up all my spoons (Fibromyalgia). Nothing left to do what I had planned today. I am drained now.
I like a little bit of a challenge, but not an impossible challenge which slaps you in the face whichever way....
So for the next fortnight, I think, I will concentrate on trying the kaleider app, and some paintings....and doing the stuff I need to do to rearrange this place, revitalise it. I would like to move (other rubbish going on) but that is not possible (it might be oneday) I'm not talking of downsizing, I am talking of a bigger place....you can downsize too much...
I am so sad because I enjoy watching these night time videos, and posting on YouTube and Instagram, because they are there for me to look at, my memories of Pa Badger, Foxy Loxy and all the others.
I will explore another app, but this is taking all my available energy away.....

Have a good day.

That is so healthy @ianpspurs. Also you definitely don't need to add any extra EVO as you already consume a really healthy amount.Good to have you here and contributing Derek. To add to the olive oil discussion as per @LivingLightly I use 3 tablespoons on my salad* dressing, which is almost a fixed part of my diet, with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (organic, with mother) and 1 tsp of Dijon mustard. Also use it in cooking - only really ever fry salmon on Friday to make the skin crispy, but all roast veggies are coated in it (put in a bag and tossed about to coat)
Base salad attached: I add avocado, fennel, red chicory, zoe daily 30+ and toasted pine nuts. Fills a large bowl so the dressing doesn't drown but it must go in first - I have a packing order, leaves last - then coat everything before adding sprinkles. Usually cut up the protein source and mix in. Probably duck breast today. That meal is about all Elsie Keto has to offer me in terms of comforting food/good vibes - it is the taste of the vinaigrette I think. I'll only eat from plain white crockery at home. The table covering is JKP's idea, I'd obviously have plain white.

Enjoy your Monday everyone.
How frustrating for you and how typical of you to not want to be beaten. My money is on you mastering kaleider and either IMovie or another app. Meanwhile, your short term plan sounds excellent. Despite all the obstacles in your life you are a beacon of hope. Thank you for sharing the wonderful kaleidoscope. Hopefully a rest will act as a magnet for a few more spoons.Fbg 6.5

I genuinely have my doubts whether this way of eating is healthy but having read about the outcome of starvation for treating The D back in the day in Fung's book I opted not to go there.That is so healthy @ianpspurs. Also you definitely don't need to add any extra EVO as you already consume a really healthy amount.
I happen to like a touch of balsamic @gennepher, but you could use white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar if you have either to hand. Some like salad dressing made with sherry vinegar.Yes, I have plenty of garden herbs...no balsamic vinegar.i will have to look @LivingLightly
Like you @ianpspurs, I serve a salad virtually every day, sometimes twice a day in warm weather.Good to have you here and contributing Derek. To add to the olive oil discussion as per @LivingLightly I use 3 tablespoons on my salad* dressing, which is almost a fixed part of my diet, with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (organic, with mother) and 1 tsp of Dijon mustard.

Thank you @Krystyna23040That is such a shame @gennepher. I really do hate technology sometimes (actually quite often).
It is so annoying that you can waste hours and hours of very precious time trying to fix it.
You could be right @ianpspursHow frustrating for you and how typical of you to not want to be beaten. My money is on you mastering keleider and either IMovie or another app. Meanwhile, your short term plan sounds excellent. Despite all the obstacles in your life you are a beacon of hope.

Ah, I have apple cider vinegar to hand!I happen to like a touch of balsamic @gennepher, but you could use white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar if you have either to hand. Some like salad dressing made with sherry vinegar.
With a small quantity like this, organic garlic powder is quicker than a finely crushed portion of a garlic clove.
Really brilliant recipes - although I urgently need a Food Fairy.I genuinely have my doubts whether this way of eating is healthy but having read about the outcome of starvation for treating The D back in the day in Fung's book I opted not to go there.I chose Keto chef's bread and rolls because they use extra virgin olive oil - ingredients attached. Good bread dipped in flavoured olive oil is another way to up one's intake. Just googled this recipe which I may run past the Food Fairy. Not today as she is making these two for me. Keto flatbread and Burnt Basque cheesecake - @dunelm's DIL made one which set me on that path. Besides, it is International Dog Day and eating this way I need “an .... opportunity to feel something more than contemplate something, ebullience over dread,”. Everyone needs a Food Fairy - mine found, more an "ambush" arranged by mutual friends, me (the 2nd time) at the rugby club
