I had a bunch of HWC to get rid of before it expired, as I’ve recently removed the dairy from my diet. So I made my family Creme Brûlée. I just couldn’t help but to make two with allulose for me. I realize the picture makes it look wet. It’s not. It’s just glistening in the light. See that? GLISTENING IN THE LIGHT! Damn delicious. And now that I’ve done such honor to the last of the HWC, I can get back to my mediocre black coffee.
What did you Keto today? Part Deux!
Very simple:
- Bought some chicken livers (cheap!)
- Chopped out any sinew
- Cooked them for about 10 mins in a frying pan in some butter until centre of livers was pink
- Blitzed livers with equal quantity of soft room temp butter in food processor plus a bit of salt.
Done. Made about $30 worth of shop bought pate for $6, and it is beautiful. No fancy flavours, no jelly top (although I did get a lovely fat layer), I am sure the flavour could be made a bit more sophisticated with some other added ingredients, but I wanted to keep it simple and replicate the pate @carl had made. He said 50/50 liver and butter. Sounded good to me and it is!
It is smooth and really tasty. I LOVE it. If you had told me a year ago I would be making my own pate I would have said you were nuts!
Alecmcq's Chicken Liver Paté
Are veggies important?
Invited to dinner with neighbors, well friends really. We have a great deal in common with them, and I’ve known them both for years. She knows I’ve been doing keto diet, so she cooked a delicious keto meal. I baked a fantastic fruit pie, more in keeping with their way of eating.
Pork chop, buttered green beans, riced cauliflower With cilantro, salad of a purple cabbage tomatoes in a vinegarette.
Hey, It’s Medicinal.
CANNABIS INFUSED MATCHA CAKE
The rainy day Stanley Kubrick Festival is ongoing as I watch
2001: A Space Oddyssey
and contemplate the beggings of The Keto Lifestyle and journey to the outer reaches of our galaxy.
I will let you guys know how the journey went…
If I remember it! 😜
@Digital_Dave @PortHardy I only just got this eight day old notification… Yes I have a tub of Halo Top from time to time, when I want a treat. It definitely messes with ketosis temporalily but I don’t worry about that at all as it’s easy for me going in and out of ketosis after being keto for close to four years.
Going to do the whole Greek Orthodox meatless lent Friday’s with the gf (she’s Greek) and since tomorrow is the beginning of their lent, no meat tomorrow either. My “linners” (as I call them - late lunch / early dinner ) for the next few days - salmon and spinach which I’ll make for today and tomorrow, and a ribeye with chimichurri / asparagus / mushrooms that I’ll make for Tuesday and Wednesday.
Side note: yes, I realize I can make chimichurri myself. But do YOU realize that I am lazy?
Finally some warm weather! The grilling/smoker season officially kicks off for me when the snow melts off my grill. That day was yesterday. Temps above freezing! Sadly it was a brief interlude of spring; when I woke up this morning there was 3 more inches of snow on the ground…
In any case, 3 Angus NY Strips on the grill put me in such a great mood, even snowblowing can’t take the smile off my face.
I approve this message.
Can anything made with eggs really be described as “plain”?
WooHoo!
Brunch buffet date with the daughter. Let’s not talk about her plate of carbs
I got an omelette, shrimp, crab dip, asparagus, and sausage
FYI (in case you were not aware)
Le Palmini is 4g carbs per 100, but courgetti - spiralized courgettes - is only 2g / 100. Also much, much cheaper. It’s only there to hold the sauce and cheese in a chewy way after all.
Doodle Carbonara
Have you ever asked yourself why Pasta Carbonara isn’t a breakfast food? It’s classic Italian comfort food. Bacon, eggs and Parmesan cheese and some olive oil and black pepper, salt and parsley.
My verdict is “for no damn reason”.
I had some Matcha cake and espresso too!
There’s something wonderfully primal about just having slices of meat with a side of dipping salt that you eat with your fingers.
