I'm not keen on fish with lots of bones! once bought a fish fillet from Tesco that was absolutely FULL of them and they killed my mouth stabbing in to my gums and the inside of my cheek! x
 
Pretty good with smokies and Spinks in Arbroath will remove the main bones for you before you buy. They keep for up to a week in the fridge (airtight bag required though) or a couple of months in the freezer, much milder than kippers and they don't repeat. I'm having another one tonight, although arbroath is a bit far from me just for a smokie.

I used to visit Arbroath when daughter was living in Dundee a couple of years ago. There was a lovely cliff top walk, and a brand new building by the harbour with a restaurant in it that served coffees ( and cake!). Also a B &Q where we bought black paint for her to prepare her 'wall' for her degree show. Never did get round to trying a smokie though, which I regret now she's home again.
 
Just had a lovely lamb curry, potato curry and lentil and kale side dish. All for 27g of carbs. Trying to stick to 30g each meal. Very tasty. But then it is the OHs week to cook. I take over on Sunday. Oh what a surprise we are out that night, and Tue, and Wed, Thu and Fri!!! A good bit of forward planning there.
 
Had a nice green leaf salad with tomato, red onion, cucumber, 5 green grapes and grated fresh ginger with a chicken breast, plus 1 slice of really nutty granary bread with butter and a tablespoon of olive oil/vinegar dressing.

You can buy them online: http://www.arbroathsmokies.net/ but they are a bit pricey this way (£10 delivery). You might find them in your local specialist deli.
 
Tonight I will be having chicken in a white wine sauce with veg.
 
I'm having a seafood risotto ( grander than it sounds, I picked up a reduced pack of mixed seafood in the supermarket ) followed by custard tart, or custard sog if it springs a leak and I end up with the custard mix underneath the pastry (I think brushing the pastry with egg white is supposed to help, I might try that. A couple of glasses of white wine and I'll be past caring anyway.)
 
I'm having hake fillet and asparagus tonight 🙂 might finally get a pint of water today too! lol x
 
I've had 4 Cornish wafers (4.9 carbs each) with various toppings...

Chicken tikka
Blue cheese & cucumber
Smoked salmon
Ham & pease pudding

And a few squares of dark chocolate with a cup of tea 🙂
 
Had a lovely pitta bread stuffed with salad and ham with a few carrots on side to knaw at was a come down from fish and chips lol

I am impressed that you are making the custard tart yourself. I think the only time I did that was in a Home Economics at school!

We took low carb pitas for our picnic on Saturday and filled them with cheese, leaves, cucumber, peppers and crisps. Delicious - I ate far too many though.
