Breakfast usually involves eggs of some description, have to stay away from oats, porridge not as healthy as they make out apparently.

Courgette omelette with a small amount of bacon lardons, fried cherry toms and some feta, tarragon.

Oats are good. It's those instant things you need to avoid.they are mostly sugar

slow carb is better than no carb. slow release like good oats dont cause spikes that affect diabetes as much.
You should:

eat a wide range of foods – including fruit, vegetables and some starchy foods like pasta
keep sugar, fat and salt to a minimum
eat breakfast, lunch and dinner every day – do not skip meals

If you need to change your diet, it might be easier to make small changes every week.

Oat foods — such as oatmeal and muesli made from steel-cut or rolled oats — are low-GI foods, with a score of under 55.
wholemeal breads are ok too

I'm afraid I've gone down a rabbit hole, diet wise then, its super low carb for me now, I'll see what results in brings, then modify if needed. I have to watch my protein intake too due to likely kidney damage, yet to be confirmed, but my left kidney is half the size of my right one, and I' anemic, these doctors are negligent.

Renal hypoplasia*(or kidney hypoplasia)*is usually a birth defect. It just doesn't fully develop. Might be that as it's not so uncommon

It works for me - I'm diabetic (though not by the obvious reasons), but in sticking to the above-mentioned and not particularly onerous diet, I'm enjoying my food and my blood sugar levels are as for a non-diabetic.

Spot on - i always wash Basmati several times as per Madhur Jaffrey’s advice:

https://www.masterclass.com/articles/basmati-rice-recipe-by-madhur-jaffrey#

An hour and a quarter to cook a cupful of rice! I think there are quicker ways.

I've had many Charlie Bighams over the years but they are now so expensive. Always were that bit more but worth it, now getting on for £10 for the larger ones.

I've been having a few Aldi ready meals. They are around £4 but very good. My favourite is King Prawn Linguini which actually has a dozen prawns and a sprinkling of those baby red Bell peppers to show they'e put some thought into it. Worth a try as is the Lasagne and Beef with Pappardelli.When I was fit enough I got stuff from Aldi but not now. I did manage into butchers and had steak pie for dinner. Also got a nice bit of brisket to cook.
the bigham meal for 2 people and was 8.50, so 4.25 each. i will have second half tomorrow

Pip & Nut dark roast crunchy is my peanut butter of choice. Good ol' fashioned peanut butter you have to stir before using. Lovely flavour and loadsa nuts.

Yes, I have gone to the dark side with Marmite. Also with cheese and tomato toastie.

Yes, it has to be crunchy peanut butter, and as you say, one where you have to stir in the oil which has separated out.

If it was being served in a restaurant, cheese on toast would be given a fancy title so they could charge double to the unwary. :doh:

Mushroom pappardelle with cream, sage, threw in a bit of chicken and spinach to make it a square meal! Could've done without dropping a pan of fried onion on the floor though. No wine tonight, can't sleep now when I drink the stuff.

Lovely fillet cooked to just before done.
About 61c.. 64 on hot half.
After rest it bled a fair amount of myoglobin but settled and was just perfect with a touch of redness .
Steak was melt in mouth.

Had with rest of mash.

It's a Scottish cut called salmon cut. It's a single muscle cut similar to silverside but leaner

All looks rather nice.

Was that a 2 or 3 egg Omelette ?

Barry

21-11-2023, 18:04

I used three eggs, but I should have used a larger pan so the contents of the omelette didn't spill out.

Doesn't affect the taste of course, more one of presentation.

this was the original spam that uk got way back in wartime

https://www.spam-uk.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/340g-1.png

nowadays you can even get cheesy spam fritters or with added bacon. our version has potato starch added so the jelly stays non thick set and is a bit runnier....which i prefer. ours is spicier too..nice done as a fritter

Remember sweet n sour chicken in batter was thee special meal of choice back in the 80s, from the local chinky, like, everybody wanted the same thing. It's the batter, moreish.Yes I remember it in batter. More common just chicken in sauce.
One is Cantonese style, then there is Hong Kong style. The proper batter ones are a western version I think. The batter the Chinese use is just cornstarch. I actually prefer just bits of chicken in the sauce with no coating.
