I'm surprised at how easily I've taken to low carbs. Ask me two years ago, I would never imagine not allowing myself to have macaroni cheese, steak bakes, or cheese on toast.

But I'd still eat the whole loaf of that potato bread, it wouldnt get a chance to go cold, I'd be after it with huge dollops of butter and marmite. Wub

And then blob around going "flubadubafluba" for a few days Laughing

Turns out, if you rinse a saucepan with hot water, stick it on the gas with four rashers of bacon in, and stir it about, the bacon breaks up and cooks.

Then if you tip in a whole bag of Asda squash & red pepper soup mix, stir it up a bit more to fry it in with the bacon, then add a dash of salt and two pints of water, leave it to simmer for an hour or so, and then mash it all up a bit with a potato masher, it makes a very nice bacon/veg soup indeed.

And a little smattering of grated cheese goes very nicely on the top.

Also turns out ...

If you stir fry a load of that strips-o-beef with a tablespoon of ginger paste and two crumbled red chillies, slosh in half a glass of Sauvignon Blanc (Keith Floyd is my spirit animal Laughing

) and a pint of chicken stock (because beef stock is too strong - chicken stock is light enough to sustain the flavour of the ginger), leave it to simmer for a bit.

Chuck in a bunch of chopped up broccoli, put lid on to steam, and then at the very last minute stir in a tablespoon of smooth peanut butter into the resulting gravy.

Tastes just like beef satay, and all the broccoli makes up for lack of rice to put it on.

Result.

No pics as I devoured it too quickly when I made this last night, but baked feta with toasted pittas is very moreish. Whatever size block of feta you want, but keep it as one lump, in the smallest oven-proof container it'll fit in (e.g. enamel pie tin), loads of olive oil over it, then sprinkle on the top chilli powder, paprika, dried oregano, black pepper and a touch of sea salt. Bake for around 15 mins at 180. Spread the resulting slightly gooey cheese and some of the flavoured oil into lightly toasted pittas. Nom indeed. Red wine would go well with this except we've not got any in.

First had it in a local Greek restaurant - they called it "Feta Zesta", but results on that name are a bit vague and it seemed simple enough so eventually managed to create something close by doing the above. Properly simple yet fantastically flavoured. Thumbs Up

I'm having a bit of a passion for frozen berries at the moment.

They make great "ice cream" if you are patient enough to mash them into ricotta cheese.
And if you blitz them in a blender with a bit of milk, they are more like a sorbet.
Also perfect in porridge.

So here is tonight's very saucy keto pud which I would like to have fed to me from a silver spoon by midgets dressed in Venetian Carnevale outfits :

* Handful (20-ish) of blackcurrants, frozen - extracted from a bag of Wonky Berries (Morrisons), very useful bit of kit
* Suitable amount of sweetener
* Espresso cup of water

Give it all a bit of a stir and bang it in the microwave for about 2 minutes.
Leave to stand for a while, mash around some more.
Pour on top of huge mountains of mascarpone cheese
Muller Corners can kiss my arse. Cool

Keto: its a special kind of decadence Wub

I'm supposed to be on a low carb diet, but everything that tastes his has carbs in it. Everything that is easy to cook has carbs in it. Everything that tastes like crap is low carbs. Cheap has carbs, priced for the woke or SJW low carb is expensive. I'm face because of my face and saying otherwise is racist. Just like Ste the Racist.

I'm probably way behind the times, as usual, but t'other day it was brought to my attention that such a thing as an omelette in a bag existed.
Today I made some with cheese, ham and tomato.
They don't look the most appetising but my word they tasted good.

Today I did combine a tin of Baxters Cullen Skink with four bits of bacon.
It was truly a smokey overload of goodness. Razz

Been enjoying my wild garlic pesto.

Had hazelnut and comte cheese made with cold pressed rapeseed oil last night.

Have also used parmesan, virgin olive oil, pumpkin seed and walnuts in varying combinations.

Had it stirred into fusilli pasta with sauted butterbeans and orange pepper for tea last night.
