@CrackerJax Egg Flower Soup is Chinese. You get the soup broth up to a simmer seasoned with salt, a pinch of sugar (Allulose) and white pepper, turn off the heat and drizzle scrambled egg in a stream into the hot seasoned soup. Then you take a spoon and slowly push it from one side of the pot to the other 2-3 times. It blooms into strings as it poached in about 20 seconds. Drizzle some sesame oil in to finish it. These are the “egg flowers”. There are lots of different variations, sometimes peas and sliced mushrooms, tomatoes, other vegetables too. Usually but not always thickened some with a little corn starch, with tomato generally not. Doesn’t usually have meat but I was Instant Pot cooking chicken thighs for Sylvester and decided to use the stock and two thighs for this. I haven’t eaten chicken much in the last 5 weeks.
What Did You Keto Today? The Trilogy!
Home from an overnight fasting retreat in the woods with my bestie. Now- dinner with the fam. That is a pound of rib eye topped with crimini mushrooms that I cooked in red wine & butter and seasoned with salt, pepper & red pepper flakes. I didn’t even bother with the salad. Waste of space.
Salad, then 21 hour Sous Vide Top Sirloin, with some Fried Onions and Mushrooms, with a couple Olives and Pickles. Seared the Steaks on the Grill over some nice flames.
Saturday is my youngest daughter’s wedding! Finishing up the last minute details, although I really had all the boxes checked months ago.
Taco Tuesday at my mothers senior campus. Taco salad minus the shell, beans, spinach. Also a lovely salad with fresh berries.
Today I had cauliflower tabouli salad again, and a thin sliced ribeye
That is lovely, Karen, I hope that it all goes well and she has an amazing day =).
That food all looks very yummy as well =).
Thanks, it was pretty good indeed. Always prefer to searing with flames when possible.
OK … Since I was laughed at (lookin at you @DiMo ) because I said I “changed it up” by adding Parmesan Cheese to my meat on Tuesday night … I REALLY changed it (a little).
1/2 lb of ground meat w/ Parmesan Cheese and butter … AND 2 thighs and 2 wings (and all the extra skin from the back) left from the rotisserie chicken my wife and daughter at on Tuesday night.
Enlightened Ice Cream
I received an email about this new keto ice cream.

1 net carb - Monk fruit and erythritol
Very dubious about these… they’re not for me, but for my interested-in-keto-but-only-slightly husband who is looking for a keto alternative bread roll for his packed lunches.
He’s not too keen on what I have for lunch, which is either skip it entirely or have a mug of stock, scrambled eggs or a jar of egg mayo eaten with a spoon. Conversely, I’m not all that interested in bread-free bread!
But hey, I’ve had a go - and I’ll report back in due course! Recipe is ‘the best keto bread’ from the Diet Doctor website.
Never mind the wine being cheeky - that topless pie is making me blush…! #oooer
Bread-free bread update: these do not resemble food. Still, am splitting, buttering, hamming and cheesing regardless - we’ll see whether Mr S is still speaking to me tomorrow lunchtime!
Last minute decision to eat something for lunch… (2) Double 1/4 lb.'ers with Mustard, and a small bag of Pork Rinds and Coconut Bai.
Your house is so elegant-looking Jacqueline =). So English… I am a major UK fan btw -l am a Corrie addict (been watching it for 40+ years, used to watch Eastenders and Emmerdale too until we don’t get them here now). I love all the old British comedies and have many on VHS as well.
Very pretty glass you have the wine in =-).
