Thanks for this info Mark - some folk here still enjoy a dessert after their main so a slice of one of your choice cakes is an option for them especially if they have a sweet tooth. They sound delicious. x4g for the cheesecake & choc cake & only 2g for the carrot cake.
Want to try this Mark...where's your recipe?Of course. Totally free of flour so wheat & gluten free. Warning. May contain nuts.
Eggy...haven't had a good curry for so long...any recipe for your own spice mix?...pleaseBeen 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. 🙂
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.Seaweed thins are now in stock🙂

I love seaweed thins! Can I have some please. Only just found your new shop, will come back later with some food. I need to finish my colour coded chart of hypos for the scary ogre I mean my friendly consultant!Seaweed thins are now in stock🙂
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.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.

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!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..

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!So restrained!

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.😛 Help is on its way!
Here we go, it's top secret though!Eggy...haven't had a good curry for so long...any recipe for your own spice mix?...please.
Thanks eggy...will definitely give that a go...don't worry...since it's top secret...I won't spread it around...honestHere 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. 🙂
