Low carb cooking and a dear friend ♥

Back to doing more low carb cooking and here is bok choy, with garlic, spring onions, onion, sesame oil and dash of soy.....love this ☺

we ate it with this crispy pork belly......yum 

hooking another fingerless mitten and watching "Pan".....

some crispy skin salmon for lunch which I love, but the man not lol 

still working on that sock......think my sock mojo has taken a big walk 

more crochet while watching "Bates Motel".......anyone out there seen this series?

chicken avocado casserole and this was delish.......recipe here and we froze the leftovers for another day ☻

low carb pizza made with almond flour recipe here and instead of plain I put some salami/mushroom/tomato/cheese ☺☺

on Tuesday 20th June we caught the train to the city as I needed to collect a ball of wool which I had left there......on my tablet I  had downloaded "Call the Midwife" so was able to enjoy 2 episodes on the trip down ☺☺

the next day this special friend also caught the train into the city to catchup with me ☺♥  we have been good friends for many many years and met via our (now ex) husbands lol  Even if we don't speak for a year it is still like we saw each other yesterday.....☺☺ 

and as for that ball of wool......did not match what I was working on 😒😒 and another ball I bought which matched in the shop from a piece I had ditto 😖😖 oh well......

later that day we caught the train back home and again I watched 2 episodes of "Call the Midwife" sure makes train travel easy ☺

on Thursday I was asked for a recent pic of me still doing the low carb thing and at least maintaining my weight ☺☺

November 2015

November 2016 so I am very happy indeed 

and on Thursday picked up these skull boots which arrived all the way from china ☺☺ and they are so comfy and LOVE them......going to be wearing these even when 70 lol 

I made us some zucchini parmesan fries for lunch and a bit crispy so rather nice 

and for tea that night a zoodle matriciana.....which is zucchini made into noodles and a yum sauce with salami/tomato/onion/cream/cheese ☺☺

on Friday we got zucchini lasagna out of the freezer and heated and enjoyed with salad....

good eating we have had lol 

we then drove to a motel we were staying at for something I/we were going to enjoy on Saturday.....we ate at a place called "Lazy Moes" and boy are the meals massive.....tried to stick to low carb with NO fries so they gave me TRIPLE salad and pita bread.......this was a chicken kebab style dish with capsicum/onion on stick.....very nice but WAY too much lol 

and yes here is what I did NOT eat......oh well was going to give me energy for next day.....

love to you all out there and any UK family/friends seeing this we are COMING BACK in September and Paul would love to here from you ♥♥ Nigel/Paul/Margaret/Clive/Liz/Colin ☺☺
