Almost English with tongue in cheek.

Today I woke up with a ravenous appetite, because I had eaten a piece of bread the day before. One of my problems, when I eat carbs... So I made myself a big breakfast, which I don't usually do.

Sausages (turkey), mushrooms, tomato and eggs. All on the frying pan. My father-in-law had overheated the pan when he visited us, so everything stuck on it. Damn! That was my Damn Good Pan (tm), and now I have to get a new one. Next time I'll hide my pans, when relatives come for a visit. And with the breakfast also some tea with cream.

Lunch. Leftovers from the day before. Green beans, cooked tongue and grilled kebabs with salad and cucumber sprinkled with oil. Some garlic mayo as sauce.

Which happened to be too much, so there was still some leftovers.

During the afternoon I wanted something small and tasty with my coffee, so I had some cashew nuts and dark mint chocolate. Yummy!

Evening meal was roasted lamm and sauce, that was thickened with egg yolks (it went a little grainy in the end.) With that I had salad with oil-vinegar dressing. And some low-carb beer.

I ate quite well today. It's Sunday and I have to cook more since my family is at home. I can already notice, that I tend to make everything prettier than before, when I know that I'm documenting it.

General information

For all to know, and to make things easier:

- All meat is beef if not mentioned othervice.
- We can't get kosher slaughtered meat here by any reasonable means, so we have decided to use regular stuff instaid of skipping meat alltogether.
- All oil I use is extra virgine olive oil unless mentioned othervice.
- Some meat dishes can look like they have milk in them, but that is usually coconut milk or mayonaise.
- For frying I use oil or coconut fat for meat and butter or ghee for milk or parve.
- I don't usually use any recipes, but if someone asks for one in the commentaries, I'll do my best to write it.

What we eat?

I'have to eat a quite restricted diet due to different reasons. I get asked often what I can eat and what not, and what the hell I'm I eating normally. So, I try to post about what I eat (with pictures) and skip the explaining.

My restrictions? A very strict low-carb due to severe hypersensitivity to glucose and not too strict kashrut due to religious reasons. So I'll have to cook a lot.

Basics in Wikipedia: Kashrut, low-carb

Feel free to comment, usually I like to talk about food.
