Beef Tongue, Romaine and Butter Lettuce

Huge salad with butter lettuce, Romaine lettuce, red onion, red and green peppers, diced beef tongue, kimchi mayo (rinsed and chopped kimchi mixed with mayo), salt and pepper. Simple, easy, delicious!   This salad bowl would normally serve several people, but I eat the whole thing; it’s mostly lettuce after all. And I’m only eating…

Chicken Bars, Pork Patties, Cauliflower Rice

Made chicken meat bars again with better success, but they still don’t hold a candle to the ground beef ones. This time I slathered ghee on them before cooking in the air fryer, so they were moister than my first attempt, but still not that great. I also cooked some Costco sausage patties so I…

A Bit of This, a Bit of That

Curry soup with prawns and cauliflower rice; chicken meat bars with bagel seasoning; landjaeger sausage; dill pickle.   The chicken meat bars were quite dry.

Low-carb Chicken Soup

Another bowl of “Chicken Soup for the Low-carb Soul.” I was going to make this batch with kimchee, but decided that I didn’t want to subject my friend to that much garlic the following morning! So I added napa cabbage, hot sauce and fish sauce instead. Awesomely delicious!

Chicken Hearts and Low-carb Toast

I was going to make chicken soup again, but I had some chicken hearts that needed cooking, so I did that (dry fried with salt and garlic salt). Also heated up some braised red cabbage that was in the fridge. Finally, I decided to toast two slices of the low-carb bread that was still in…

Brunch with Friends – Sausages and Eggs

Brunch with friends at White Spot, a family restaurant that’s been iconic in Vancouver since 1928. I had a Nat’s Hearty Breakfast, named after Nat Bailey, the original owner: two poached eggs, three sausages, grilled tomatoes. Normally it comes with “smashed” potatoes and a choice of toast, pancakes or waffle, but I asked for tomatoes…
