Re: What are you eating now thread?
 

I have just had my usual bowl of porridge for breakfast.

Re: What are you eating now thread?
 

Nothing, I'm on a 48 hour fast before hospital tomorrow. PLEASE do not post nice things to eat as I am starving and can't get bacon butties off my mind. :(

Re: What are you eating now thread?
 

White choc chip cookies... Opps sorry Joglynne. Hope tomorrow goes ok for you whatever you're having done.

It's funny though, I don't normally eat anything apart from a dinner, but if you're on a fast and not allowed to eat you craving anything and everything constantly. It really is hard going so hang in there.... :)

Can you suck on boiled sweets? They tend to help me get through those times.

Re: What are you eating now thread?
 

Good luck tomorrow jo, we'll be praying that everything goes well :)

Re: What are you eating now thread?
 

Good luck jo for tomorrow as our thoughts are with you.:group:

Re: What are you eating now thread?
 

Just my normal 3 monthly set of tests, don't normally have a problem with the fasting but for some reason this time I have Bacon on my mind. Trouble now is that it has been joined by a Fried Egg. At this rate by tomorrow it will be Full English. :D

Re: What are you eating now thread?
 

Tough as old boots unless you cook it low and slow (I sear the slab or roll in a little oil, then cook it in a closely-lidded pot over a layer of onions and carrots at 130c for around 5 hours). A little water now again just to keep it moist.

It falls apart into stringy, beefy tenderness... :)

I do the same for whole Ox hearts or Skirt beef.

Re: What are you eating now thread?
 

Well jo there is always a nice cheese and tomato sandwich which l have just had.:D

Re: What are you eating now thread?
 

Not yet... but I'll give that a try. I like portobello mushrooms so much.
My version is normally a dot of butter, sprinkle of black pepper and bake, to accompany steak :D
I promise I'll give the cheese I've avoided a try :)

has anyone got a quick guide to cooking lamb pieces/chunks, cube like theres a few pieces with bones. i want to grill them but i dont want them to be chewy.

---------- Post added at 22:38 ---------- Previous post was at 21:48 ----------

erm.. trying this but making a lot of stuff up 'to taste' as i go along. http://www.livestrong.com/article/44...ok-cubed-lamb/ ill probably end up with a roast dinner at midnight.. burnt.

Re: What are you eating now thread?
 

Hi thenry, did you end up having a midnight feast and how did the lamb taste?

I know the site area you linked to and it seems like a good, no nonsense, guide to the basics of cooking.

I used to use the Livestrong.com Diabetes Journal and still occasionally dip into the low carb recipe area.

Re: What are you eating now thread?
 

yup at 11:30pm and it wasnt burnt :D i didnt really follow the guide on livestrong and just ended up being creative. i put an oxo cube, some bbq powder stuff, crushed garlic, ginger, fresh chilis and oil on the meat then put it in the oven. i dont know how long it was in for. i waited for it to get brown'ish then added a little water then waited a little longer for it to brown again then grilled the pieces. i tried something with the liquid from the oven tray. put it in a frying pan added an onion and tomato in the tube.. ended up with a hot source type. boiled some veg and put butter on it. fried off some boiled potatoes. and made rice. i really havent got a clue what im saying i ended up with a this minus the rice...

My My Mark you are a growing lad.:)

Re: What are you eating now thread?
 

Yep, growing outwards. No, I'm on this 5:2 diet, where for 5 days you eat what you like, then on 2 days (not consecutive ones though) you eat no more than 300 calories. Lost 4 pounds so far in a fortnight so hoping for a lot more over the next couple of months.
