Heuer left me at home with the simple request to cook the birds and not kill him in the process.
I am happy to say, while I started off not knowing WTF I was going to do, I pulled it together and put together a damn tasty meal.
Documenting this feat as it rarely happens.
Week 3 of our new Keto diet, showing how we are trying to get the balance right. Two meals a day, first about noon to 1 pm, last about 6-7 pm, giving a period of approx 16 hours during which the body has a chance to utilise existing fats within the body. They call it intermittent fasting, we call it less cooking and dishes to wash and more time for important things :-)
Finally....! After reading Narnia and Edmond's craze for Tukish Deligh, my crave also finally came through. However, this gourmet turkish delight was rather disappointing - it's merely very sweet, starchy and soft candy. More like the semi-hard jelly candy you find in the stores. *Sigh*

Decided to check out @peadsandbarnetts at the farmers market. They grow heritage varieties of pigs in San Diego County. Boy, these pork chops were good! Brined and grilled with a simple spice rub. Served with a “succotash” of corn, baby black kale, baby sweet peppers, and onion.
Broiled salmon, pomegranate vinegar braised spinach, baked sweet potato. Thrown together in 15 minutes (with texting ahead to have hubby preheat the oven and put in the potatoes).

I can thank Ilga for that title since I made these myself, but I agree with her totally. My mum gave me the recipe. These mince pies have a delicious macaroon topping.
Continuing the Keto way of eating. It is NOT a starvation type diet.
This was my first meal of the day about noon today. Feeling no pain :-)

Basically followed Emeril's "persimmon glazed duck breast with steamed three color cauliflower" - minus the persimmons and cauliflower.
Instead of 1 c. blood orange juice, it was 1/2 c. blood orange juice (1 blood orange) and 1/2 cup Minneola tangelo juice (1.5 tangelos), with the remaining tangelo half split into slices and cooked in place of the persimmons.
Next time: Simmer the duck in the glaze more.
It turned out pretty good considering the long beans were slightly overcooked and I forgot about the jicama (bung guang) lol :) ...and I didn't add carrots 'coz Bruce dislikes them... so much for soyur lodeh lol!
I wanted to make breakfast but my fridge was practically empty. All I could make was a bacon, tomato and avocado sandwich. foodforfel.com/2010/05/a-nostalgic-bacon-sandwich/
