I am on my way to the hospital taken my “guests” into Newcastle. They are eating Cornish pasties from Milligans with relish. Vince is eating a protein salad at Starbucks. 6.9 carbs. They are off to Primark lol

That made me laugh Vince...those Chinese bankers in Primark...I've never been into one...I must remedy that.
 
Making bread...the usual bran bread recipe plus another I've 'borrowed' from @Marsbartoastie ...I want to use the 'new' one to make some seeded rolls I will post in the general recipe section...and post some photos here providing they are edible...fingers crossed.
Ingredients
1/2 cup Oat flour ( I have substituted oat flour for psyllium husk as recommended by Marsbartoastie but feel free to stick to the original recipe)
1/2 cup Almond flour
1/2 cup Ground Linseeds
1 cup Vital wheat gluten
1/2 tsp sugar (I used icing sugar to make it more available to the yeast)
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 sachet 'easy bake' type yeast (I increased this to 12gs of dried yeast)
3 tbsp Olive oil
1 1/4 cups blood warm water ( I added another quarter cup of water as the mixture was being kneaded but you can use your own judgement here)
A handful of Nigella seeds for appearance & flavour.
Method
Put all dry ingredients in the mixer, make a well and add oil/water. Mix using dough hook for about 5 minutes until a bit stretchy (I have increased the time to 30 minutes). Alternatively, knead by hand.
Put in loaf tin or shape into rolls. Cover with damp cloth and leave somewhere warmish to rise (a couple of hours).
Bake at 230 for 15 minutes, reduce temp to 190 and bake for another 20 minutes.

12 slices work out at c140 cals a slice and 5.5g carbs

Chinese LOVE Primark. The prices there are far lower than anything they can buy in China believe it or not. However, what they do is ensure anything they buy is NOT made in China. Anywhere else is fine lol. NO face value if made in China.
 
How odd...I must have a look in Primark when I next see one...just shoved a batch of you cheese scones in the oven...I can smell them now...I'm starving...I don't think they'll last long.

Can't wait I'm hungry...just bought a huge box of strawberries...had some for lunch...huge spike with them...so given them to my little neighbour...no more strawberries for me...so can't wait for those cheese scones.
 
Bought a job lot of these at ALDI today.
The jelly pots are really nice ad the salami will go with cheese scones, OLIVES and Stilton I reckon.
Shelf life on the jelly pots is Jan 2019.
I did buy quite a few of each lol
OOOOO My Poor Pension dwindling rapidly.

Exactly what I thought Amigo just after I put them in the oven...too late to put them in then:(.
 
I didn't know Aldi sold these jelly pots. I sometimes buy them from B&M. Would love to try the black forest gateau flavour.🙂 Can't beat jelly, IMO.
