Making Jewish Chicken Penicilian today for lunch, a lot of hard work but its worth it.

Having marinated Pork Strips and Oven Chips today.

Had a Chicken stir fry last night and will have the rest of the chicken in a salad tonight.

I’ve been eating an old favorite lately - Braunschweiger. Love that stuff.

What is Braunschweiger, is it something German?

Here’s some info :slight_smile:

The American version, which is liverwurst, is what we eat here.

Yes Linda, I was right a big German Sausage, but Liver in America, never had it.

We had just had:

Fresh Salmon Steak marinated in Garlic & Ginger, Bombay potatoes, Cauliflower Cheese & Brussel Sprouts.

It’s really good, I love the stuff. If you’ve ever had liver pate, it’s very similar to that.

Your meal sounds yummy! I haven’t been eating much lately. Been kind of down. Problems with heart palpitations and crazy irregular heartbeat. This stupid menopause is really messing with me.

My cardiologist wants me to wear an event monitor for 30 days to capture all of my episodes with the irregular heartbeat. It’s worse at night and there are some nights I can’t sleep and just lay there and bawl my eyes out because I’m so tired of this. But they’re upping my beta blocker I take to a higher dose and, again, I wear the monitor for a whole bloomin’ month. Ugh.

Sorry to hear that Linda. Hope they sort it out soon.

Thank you, Susie, I hope so too.

unbelievable–I put on another 2 pound this week–half the time i have not been feeling well–trying to eat as healthy as I could–crackerbreasds, cottage cheese and fruit-----so I just cannot understand–over the last 8 weeks, overall I have lost just 4 and a half pounds–the 2 weeks before thast I lost 9 pounds !!! If it was not for that, i would weigh more now than when I started–and i have been trying so hard.I really do not know which way to go. !!!

Mariana, with all due respect, you baffle me at times. Even though you put on 2 pounds, you’re still down (according to my calculations from your post) 11 and a half pounds. Isn’t that better than being UP 11 and a half pounds?

Dearest, you’re stressing yourself out way too much over this. And it’s really not worth it.

Today we had Beef Pie and Oven Chips.

Today I had toast and strawberry jam. All I was in the mood for. I’ll probably eat more for dinner. I’ve been busy today, taking stuff to the storage facility and teaching my son how to drive and now I’m in the middle of doing my Sunday dinner prep (crockpot beef stew) so I really don’t feel like stopping to sit down and eat a proper lunch. That and I’m not super hungry. I’ve been depressed over these stupid heart palpitations and last night they were really bad. And when I’m depressed, I can’t eat.

Oh dear–that sounds tough Linda–but hopefully if they can sort things out for you , it will be worth it. xx

Today I am cooking a Gammon Joint, so its roast dinner today.

Oh Linda I hope you get things sorted and quickly. It must be very scary when they start.

Mariana please don’t get disheartened with it all it is a hard slog, but just remember what you have lost over the many weeks.

Thanks, Mariana and Shirley. I hope so too!

A small fry-up today.
