when i dehydrated beef i found it needed a really strongly flavoured marinade and had to be cut VERY thin.    shame it wasnt up to scratch 

ugh to the ice cream making you feel ill but as you say it does remind you why we stick to lowcarbing!!

I often make jerky, I have a jar at the moment which I over dehydrated, using my dehydrator machine, it`s actually just very chewy, a small piece needs 20 minutes chewing, what I was attempting was very rare beef, to have with gravy, I barely give a joint 30 mins now, practically just warming it through, but to save turning on my oven I had read of this method, I live alone and buy joints to cut into smaller pieces, think it was too small.
Chicken thighs with salad today.

Feeling brighter today, and an easy dinner after dragging myself back to work.

Pleased you are starting to feel better @Islandmaid it`s horrid struggling to just "do" anything.
Still plowing through my salad bowl, mackerel with it today.
A small change picked up 2 packs of y.s. mussels, so will scatter them over my salad and make pate or a dip with the mackerel

Islandmaid

Love mackerel pate, haven’t made it for ages, thanks for the prompt 👍 enjoy your bargain mussels too.

Have had a massive headache all week,  but I know it's just sugar n gluten detoxing  

Islandmaid

candygirl - are you taking electrolytes? I take a little pinch of salt in all my drinks, coffee only in the morn, water for the rest of the day -  just enough so you don’t taste it, this got rid of my headaches

pamsdish

I am fortunate and don`t suffer with headaches, but my sister does get migraines, she makes an electrolyte drink, not to everyones taste, I can drink it, just.
Will see how I feel later regarding food, bit cooler today so may have something cooked.

shykins

ugh that detox headache can be awful but in a way its a positive as you know this is working.   hopefully wont last too long
island and pams interesting about the salt/electrolyte i shall have to look into that as i get migraines regularly
