2026 - Today's Recipe

Saag aloo with rice, onion bhaji and pickles.

Carnivore breakfast lunch of bacon,egg,sausage & black pudding.

Paella for supper.

Paella?? with actual rice?

Yep, I had a low carb brekkie, then had a carb overload for supper.  I had to use it up as i bought it frozen, but by the time I got home it was defrosted!

Why did you buy rice anyway? THought you didn't eat carbs!

I knew someone would ask that, and I had a gpod idea of who it would be!  The answer is that I like paella once in a while, even though I know it is not good for me, I just like the taste and texture.(I add loads of butter!) Also, if I find a vastly reduced in price chicken and bacon salad I will buy and eat that.I sometimes have a kebab with salad, but ditch the pita bread (Kato won't even eat that!)) My diet is meat centric, although as I have said before, many times, I am not anal about it and sometimes weaken? I try to avoid carbs but carbs are in so many things, like fruit,(I (I do eat the odd easy peeler orange, especially if they are cheap), sauages and even black pudding, to name but a few. Carbs & sugar are addictive but I try to minimise my addiction.

Today Kato and I enjoyed smashburgers and grated cheese for lunch. I had burger sauce and sliced gerkins on mine. I will have summat later but don't know what. I will try and keep it reasonably carb free though!

Cauliflower broccoli cheese

Bought some fatty meat and made a stew with it.

Fish pie with broccoli and carrots this evening.

I've always loved my Sunday dinner, especially when it's a beef joint. This  weeks beef was a piece of 'salmon cut' which I hadn'r had before? It was about £6.00 and was ample for one.
 A while ago I bought a frozen bag of roast vegetable on yellow sticker for 48p. It was only carrot, parsbip and onion but 24p's worth gave me enough for two beef dinners.
I have had my frst sitting with lovely gravy made from the goodness of the joint cooked for 2 hours and 40 minutes. After much experimentation with oven timing and cut's of meat, I think I have finally found the 'sweet spot'.The only problem is when i am stuffed, all plans for work to be carried out on Sunday afternoon, go out the window!
The second sitting will be later  today with the plated dinner microwaved for ease and quickness and if I am still hungry after that I have the remains of last nights beef stew in the slow cooker.
