Markyp...is that low carb cake😛...I'm sure it is...I'll have a generous slice of each please.
Of course. Totally free of flour so wheat & gluten free. Warning. May contain nuts.
 
Been at it all day, have on offer my world famous lamb Madras, made from scratch, no curry powder, all spices mixed by my own fair self. I also have on offer, Chicken Tikka Masala, for those who prefer a milder curry, have to marinade this overnight so won't be ready until tomorrow. Keema Channa or as the family call it, Keema Mattata ( for the rest of your days). This is a tasty minced lamb curry with mild spices, peppers, tomatoes and chick peas. No rice needed, a simple chappati, at 25 grams of carbs is all you need, filling and satisfying. For the non meat eaters, a cauliflower, potato and pea curry, again a meal in itself. Absolutely delicious, always a hit with non veggies as it is so tasty. My own particular favourite is made to order as must be fresh, Rick Stein's Monkfish Curry, this is his own personal favourite and ours, sublime even if I say so myself. May struggle getting monkfish so need a couple of days to prepare. Any special requests welcome, I have a cupboard full of spices and a shelf full of curry books. 🙂
Eggy...haven't had a good curry for so long...any recipe for your own spice mix?...please:D:D:D.
 
Seaweed thins are now in stock🙂
Not sure I'm brave enough for seaweed thins just yet...I've done the McVities chocolate digestive thins...managed to stick to just one or two so far...will give it some thought.

I could never just eat one, knowing they were in the house would be dreadful! I could do with eating one or two, maybe three now. :D

Jo...had a packet in there for a few days now...no idea how I manage just one or two...sometimes I forget they are there...find them by chance...nibble a couple...put them back...having my illicit biscuit stash is comforting...satisfying...a little 'naughty'...possibly the thought they are ready if I need them helps my portion control...sometimes just see the packet...smile...and close the cupboard door.:D:D:D.

So restrained! Great strategy and do understand the smile knowing it's there and closing the door. I do have some ginger oat biscuits in a jar, and I feel better knowing they are there. Just got to remember that when I next have hypo!

As opposed to 'virtual carbs'...calling this 'vicarious carbs'...guilty pleasures...at a distance...sitting there behind closed doors...we know we can have them...whenever we want 🙂p😛😛)...but...kept contained...could revolutionise the low carb industry!
 
:D:D:D😛 Help is on its way!
Thanks Jo...but...not prepared to share...if that's what you mean😱😱😱...suggest we have them stocked here...in individual packets of no more than three thins per packet.
 
Eggy...haven't had a good curry for so long...any recipe for your own spice mix?...please:D:D:D.
Here we go, it's top secret though!
1 teaspoon each of chilli powder, turmeric, fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds ( which I must say are my most favourite smell in the world), 5 green cardomon seeds and half teaspoon of milled black pepper. Make sure you always cook the spices for at least 5 minutes, for example after you have browned your onions and usually before adding any liquid. Add more or less chilli powder according to taste. Can't go far wrong with that. 🙂
