Tiggertoes on Atkins

[moonlights]

Ugh what a night you've had. Hope the plumber does his explaining with a big cheque.

 

[TIGGERTOES]

morning TT, well done with the compliments. Do they know your doing Atkins?

What a horrible thing to happen with the leak. Hope it gets sorted soon with new carpets.

Morning CL. I have been trying to keep mum about the Atkins WOE because people are so opinionated. I just put it down to cutting carbs and healthy eating.. One lady is due in for a bypass next week and I think she's a bit curious about my quick weight change.

Ugh what a night you've had. Hope the plumber does his explaining with a big cheque.

Oh yes. That he will. I shouldn't say this but I really don't like him anyway. Real smarmy little man.

Evening TT... Hope you have a lovely evening xx

Make sure you take lots of pics in case he tries to dispute it xxx

Easy Saturday for me. Carpet is dry and leak has been fixed so I'm happy.

Last night's red went down a treat. Polished 3/4 of the bottle on my own. I'd forgotten what a red wine headache feels like... Wow!!

On the menu today was :
B:
2 x eggs
2 x bacon
2 x burger patties

L:
King prawn salad

D:
3 x Toulouse sausages
250g Cauli mash
Small bit of gravy

S:
Some brie and edam


Mug of Soya milk.

I'm off for a few days so I'm planning on baking some flax bread and hopefully making a swissroll.

I hope you are all well and enjoying the weekend.

What are tolouse sausages like? I'm not a big sausage fan in general but haven't heard of them before.

Sounds like a yummy day - hope your time off is a good chance to unwind after carpet stresses.

So glad the leak is sorted. Plumbers ...well just feel I should retrain...

Menu is fab, and good luck on the flax bread - mine always comes out long and narrow (Ohooh Matron!)

ML Toulouse Sausages are from Tesco Finest range, they are herby and made from mostly pork and bacon. Really really tasty. Very low in carbs to, I think it's less than 1g for 3 sossies. 2 for £4 atm.

Susie, I have a feeling ehem, that my loaf will be long and narrow to today... Well at least my bread pan is, suppose I'll have to call them flax fingers instead. I don't know what more I can do to get a rise out of it... :O

I've been reading through Karen Barnaby's Low Carb Gourmet. There are some fantastic ideas in there. Highly recommended.

I attach a link (but I am in no way affiliated... For the record)

Dex is worrying me a little. He keeps bringing little field mice home. Mostly live ones that he's been toying with but last night a dead one... And this morning a small little bird, looked like a finch. Pretty little thing I have no idea what's gotten in to him. I'm putting it down to teenage hormones... He is almost 3 years old. He's had no changes in environment or food etc...

Planned Menu for today:
B:
Cucumber sticks
Cherry tomatoes
Babybel
Bacon
Coffee

L:
3 x Cajun spiced chicken drumsticks
Small salad
1/2 avocado

D:
2 x pork chops
Roasted med veg (courgette, aubergine, tomatoes, onions, garlic)

I had a WI this morning but the scales aren't moving. I had ALOT of macadamias this week. I think I'll stay away from them for a while. I had around 250g in 3 days. Oink oink.. Deadly those.

I'm going to work on my vegetating today.

Have a fab Sunday all.

Morning TT... great diary as always - must explore that cook book when I get back from holibob... enjoy your day! xx

Re Dex and the small kills, I don't think there's much you can do - except keep him indoors.

Orbs is almost the same age, and goes for a few weeks, then suddenly there's a mouse inside (like last night) which came in live then she killed it

Hope the flax fingers taste nice

Hi there Cocoa is 3 also and normally placid, (apart from the odd mad moment in a morning when she goes for ankles! ) We have had a couple of live mice and a dead bird in the house recently, must be the time of year which makes them go hunting

 

[TIGGERTOES]

Sounds like it. Strange how their hunter kicks in. He's normally scared of his own shadow.

 

[TIGGERTOES]

New phone is not letting me add pics in on old posts...

I made my own roasted garlic mayo to go with chops..

 

[slaj]

Looks delicious TT

 

[ladyfelsham]

Oh that looks lovely - enjoy

 

[Alpaca]

Oh god that looks amazing !!! Xx

 

[moonlights]

Ooh, food porn!

 

[TIGGERTOES]

Thanks girls. I had enough garlic yesterday to stink out a nest of vampires. Phew...

 

[Alpaca]

Love garlic!! I can't imagine life without it! Lol
