What did you have for dinner tonight?

its just occurred to me tat my food always looks massive, its a smaller plate, something between a proper plate and a saucer, yup i have a special plate lol

Do you know for years now me and Jan only eat two meals a day. A big full English breakfast gets us at least eight hours without eating. The only change in that, is if we are out in the cold for a big part of the day, and then we take a flask of mushroom soup and one low carb bread sandwich between us. When I was eating cereals, toast and orange juice for breakfast I was hungry and scoffing cheese rolls within a couple of hours.

Bet it tasted great too!

All the best Jan

can't beat salad hehe

I'm trying to like avocado, i don't hate it but don't love it, i am going to try some interesting recipes with it, maybe at the weekend

Avocado is lovely, one of my / our favourites ... the trick is catching them when they are just ripe!

There are some lovely recipe's around have a look!

All the best Jan

yes i will, I've only ever tried it as it is, raw if you like, want to try the recipes to jazz it up a bit

That salad looks great Andy. If I see one more of Jans casseroles in the next month I will puke. That's the trouble with women, you say you like a particular meal and they take that as a cue for that's all you want to eat seven days a week.

LMAO so true

Guess what I'v got for dinner tonight? whatever I want to go out and buy and cook myself.

LOL! I take it Jan has seen your earlier comment then!

Everything's cool with me and Jan, she reckons the first twenty years was the worst. It always makes me laugh, when I hear people whining about having to give up some crap food items, if they go low carb, as if that is some sort of major hardship. I say to them if you think that's tough, imagine being married to me. Another instant low carb convert

Oh you guys have me in stitches ...  

We've actually got fish tonight (not anything Eddie found on his fishing rod - I hasten to add) but a nice fillet of salmon ... yes, yes I know it's not Friday!!!

Have a great evening everyone

All the best Jan

Give all of your avocado to me!

1 onion, 3 cloves of garlic, root ginger, olive oil, 4 table spoons of curry powder, 6 skinless chicken breasts, chicken stock, pinch of sweetner, greek yogurt, fresh coriander

pre cooked cauliflower, lots of butter in frying pan

Jan asked me a couple of hours ago "what do fancy for dinner tonight" I said I really fancy a salad, like cold salmon or mackerel with all the trimmings, like apple and walnut Waldorf salad etc. So far so good. I then get, what am I going to do with all this swede mash, broccoli and cabbage.

Why do they ask? Have you ever noticed, when a Woman asks you a question, your reply is a waste of time. FACT

I bought some oyster mushrooms which hadn't been available for a while and made a stirfry with cashew nuts, multicoloured peppers, garlic, chillies and chicken.

I did find Toulouse sausages in the farm shop, bought in rather than made by the butcher, but had already decided on Gloucester Old Spot - these old varieties of pigs have far more fat, and flavour, than the modern breeds. Had some with the last of the brussels sprouts and some with the last of the purple sprouting broccoli - the weather has (temporarily) put paid to some of the crops

Perhaps try the Toulouse sausages another time Chris?
I know you like those Gloucester Old Spot ones ...

Tonight we are having salmon, broccoli and cheesy leeks - sure tastes good.

Our broccoli is not the purple sprouting kind ... it's green and it's come from Spain  

All the best Jan

Yes I ended up with "ordinary" broccoli too, I just had half a tree with two succulent lamb chops and some sprigs of rosemary. I'll definitely try the Toulouse sausages one day soon but I have a few other things to munch through first.
