It was on the packet, but only 2/3 mins I think. (Good for nibbles - mini scotch eggs that is - with a drink :beer:)

He hasn't and there's Butcher's Tripe waiting for him, he just won't go downstairs.

morning

day off today and food unplanned as yet.

need to go shopping though

whenever i make scotch eggs i just use the inside of a sausage to wrap round the egg, i think oven baking maybe better although ive not tried it that way , as when ive pan fried them the sausage drops off!

Having a hungry day today, think that it is because I feel tired at the moment.

sistercas - you put me to shame as I seem to be eating loads more than you.

Edwardia - I hope that your dog came downstairs ok!

bossymoo - how is Dukan going? I am wondering whether to trying adding a bit of oat bran to my diet to lower cholesterol so do you have any fairly low carb recipes please?

breakfast - 1 scrambled egg with a little smoked salmon, yogurt with flax and sesame seeds

lunch - green salad, half avocado with cheese, smoked mackeral and nuts

I have also had an almond pancake with a few raspberries and cream and 2 sq dark chocolate

dinner - smoked haddock, asparagus, broccoli, half carrot

Probably too much but at least it is low carb

The dawg held out until midnight but OH did grab him by collar and force him down step to step - "the boy" as OH calls him is not fat but as a Labrador too bloomin big n heavy to carry. He's very subdued today which is very unlike him !

B - Indian-style scrambled eggs with mushrooms and spring onions

Hi Sheila,

I forget my oatbran a lot of the time...

But, porridge is nice, I use 2tbsp you can mix with water, milk, cream. Cinnamon is nice.
Or muffins. Again 2tbsp mix to a batter with Philly, an egg, some sweetener and bake in silicone for 15-20 min.
Some people just stir it into yoghurt.
If you like almond pancakes, just add some to the batter mix? Reduce the amount of almond so your wet / dry mix stays the same?
Or use it to coat your home made scotch eggs?

I'm not eating today, feel a bit carp, so just having fluids. And a vitamin chew. And an early night...
