Oops! I missed this, sorry.

Nope. Alas, sinner that I am- the coffee shop is the purveyor of my lattes I go through phases of indulgence and always appreciate gift cards, lol. Lattes are my weakness.

Today for lunch I had a delicious salad (spinach mix with arugula and some herby yummy leafiness) with sliced English cucumbers, baby carrots, sliced fresh onions, err...those onion crispin things which I suppose are deep fried onions cheesy croutons, dried cranberries and roasted rabbit topped with blue cheese, yum! Tomorrow is forecasted to be the same

Shrimp sounds so good right now! I am supposed to be making dinner but I am collapsed, exhausted in my sweatpants with Lilah curled up in my lap. I even shopped to try a new recipe called bison kabobs with minted peas, has something to do with Greek yogurt and feta cheese but my feet are swollen and my eyes are tired and I could fall asleep right here right now. Unless someone gave me a slice of shrimp pizza

I spent all day eating sliced tomatoes, English cucumbers, red peppers and carrots with a minty herby leafy mix dipped in a rather huge (for an individual) container of hummus my love made last night/this morning. It was delicious and I ate it all day long. We'll see about that bison and mint peas gig....

Sounds like you need a good rest - so forgo dinner and rest up. There were exactly two tiney pieces of pizza left and there was only three folks eating pizza. I make it on a large cookie sheet/tray. I should really get a pizza stone I suppose. When I got up this am and went for lunch those two pieces disappeared in the night like thieves.

It was tasty! Woke up late, late yesterday so I couldn't sleep until early this morning so last night I was scanning YT and popped a couple of Saltines with chicken salad smeared on and was ready for bed.

I actually did make the bison and minted peas it was great!

Tonight we got to go out for dinner, it was delicious! I had prime rib medium rare with a 'loaded' baked potatoe (sour cream, chives, bacon and cheese) with a more sour than sweet coleslaw and a side salad with blue cheese and we had a fried onion appetizer with warm buns and honey butter. I seriously felt like I was busting out of my clothes! lol, but it was quite good

I have never cooked bison - or eaten it - I buy it for the pups but never sampled it myself. Is it difficult to cook

Oh, what a giggle we would have....

As you know, Crufts used to be held in central London (about 15 miles from us) but now it's moved to the NEC Birmingham, about 200 miles away and a YUCKY 3 hour-ish drive away - if you're lucky xx

Definitely don't want to damage the foodie thread again but since I found out my cholesterol was high I decided to try it as a sort of beef substitute. It is very similar in flavor and texture but it had lower fat and bla bla supposed to better for my ticker so far, I like it fine and would consider it relatively easy to cook. The only catch though is that because it doesn't have a lot of fat going for it, it will stick to your pan or not hold together the way you would expect beef to. So cooking it in olive oil or coconut oil seems to be a good way to go.
