Hunan food
Chinese tea, black Fungus, stir fried Cauliflower, Mapo Tofu, spicy Beef with garlic and ginger, roast Chicken

Strong Blue Cheese and Salmon Stuffed Olives. This is becoming a habit.

The old man came and sat at our table lol. 72 years old and started to give me the story of his life. Complete stranger but it happens here. Wanted to speak English he learned it in Russia in 1964. “Englan velly glood prace”. I nodded, then he proceeded to tell me how badly the English had treated China in the past. I reminded him that was 125 years ago but they hold a grudge for a very long time and usually have no idea why they are holding it lol.
A nice man actually but a typical “nongmin” 农民(Chinese farmer) mentality.
They have had a terribly hard and difficult life in the past.

When I look at photos of myself I am just a shadow of my former self size-wise. I was HUGE without realising it lol.
About 2.5 litres of coffee.
Water approx. 1.5 litres.

It was Amigo, tends to be a little chewy. They use brisket which should be cooked slowly but they stir fry it here. It was with Chinese radish which I love, chilies, ginger, whole garlic cloves and some green stuff, no idea what it was lol. The Radish they fry and then boil for a while and use soy sauce.
The Mapo Tofu is delicioous, spicy,the chilie oil has ground pork in it and it has a lovely kick. The tofu itself is tasteless to be honest but very healthy.
What I will eat when I get back to Newcastle next week I have no idea haha will seem boring.

Don’t make Greggs your first point of call Vince! Your challenge will be making such varied and tasty low carb meals for yourself back home. Especially managing to get the vegetable content you’ll need.

I like sprouts, swede, cauliflower, onions and muchrooms Amigo. Not much else. I have been checking online here the carbs in certain things such as swede and Aunt Bessies appears to be quite low. Need to learn how to cook peppers and maybe cauli rice. I see I can buy that in Morrisons. I believe in economy of motion a euphermism for Vince being Lazy.
I have been looking at a UK website "All Recipes" which I can get onto from here which has many suggestions and gives the carb content per serviing for each meal.
Fish such as Salmon, Basa are reasonably priced in the UK especially at Aldi and Morrisons as are prawns and mussels.
I have bought more kitchen gadgets while I have been away and had delivered to make it easier, An elecric frying pan so I don't have to turn the ceramic hob on all the time. A Tefal Grill for steaks etc that calculates the cooking time depending on the thickness and degree of "doneness" you want, rare , medium etc. and an elecirc omelete maker in addition to some kitchen scales. Chicken I can cook in the Halogen oven I have which has never been used again so I don't need to turn the built in oven on.
Also I have an Actifry which is very good for diced chicken etc and I am taking a lot of spicy coating back with me and praying customs at Newcastle are being inefficiently lazy again as usual.
I am basically a lazy cook. I am a dab hand at slow cooking haha.
If i make it simple then I will manage it; to complicated I will just not do it.
My pies and pasty days are well and truly over but that is not such a bad think in retrospect.
If i get to really idle I will just take myself to the Toby Carvery and miss out the mash.

Was delicious Amigo. Truth was I was lazy to cook anything lol.
I adore blue cheese.and I need to get these perishables out of the fridge before I depart on Saturday night for Newcastle. I will leave the steaks etc in the freezer for my return.
I have not lost any weight this week steady at 83.5kgs BUT I have not gained any either.
