And it has had significant and beneficial impacts on blood sugar woes and blood pressure and overall weight. But I am decidedly starting to lose enthusiasm - anyway - It has done me a world of good and I do need to keep it going even if not 100% of the time mate... I keep seeing all these beautiful meals with carbs and think wowowowow that would be nice haha! And even a nice new fresh loaf of homemade Rye Blend Bread mmmm!?! I do need to transition to a long term sustainable approach and that I believe will certainly include a significant proportion of lower carb spreads... as you can eat well that way without a doubt... but need to be able to keep it going longer term. Thanks for your support mate If I may comment, I have read IP's posts about his self motivated responsible efforts to maintain a healthier lifestyle for himself & sacrifice all the good things in life ( Beer & Food ) We have seen countless photos of really healthy meals mostly home grown & his ability to abstain from alcohol is outstanding. A healthier lifestyle doesn't hurt anybody & he has done an excellent job, his efforts are outstanding. I say a big shout out to @Itinerant Peasant for this & I applaud you. Well done & I hope you are able to partake in one of your magnificent beverages as you see fit.

Enjoy. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did pure egg yolk version a little while ago and it actually was quite thick.... but then also went nicely blended with some sour cream too to make a nice Tartare/Remouladey sauces with gherkin-raw onion-chives-capers ; ) And trying different oils too... some heart smart thing at the moment seems good... very benign flavour which is cool... Anyway - it is all interesting and at the end of the day all a fun learning experience like Brewing : ) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is plethora of variations to experiment with & you get to tailor it to suit the dish. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh cod, we get great fish here, considering how far we are from the sea…. I’ll share the recipe - the Vichy carrots are worth a try, if a bit rich (lots of butter) 4 hours ago, Classic Brewing Co said: Nice Stqunta, looks nice & crunchy, crispy bacon, yum.
