I had a war time breakfast of Spam and eggs. I cooked veggies during the day so Chicken and veggies for tea.

Spooky time again - I eat spam about once or twice a year - you've guessed it I had fried spam with bubble and squeak last night for tea.

Funny isn't it.....
I know that Spam is a con trick and simply the way to get rid of the trimmings from Hormel's premium ham products. Fat, shoulders and off cuts all minced up and spiced but when It's fried the crust on the outside tastes so good!
I regained my sanity yesterday and had chicken and veggies X two for breakfast and tea (and I had a tiny helping for lunch as well as a reward for cooking).

Another Spam Spooky.

Alan Ashworth of Clitheroe covers it in his weekly slot. In praise of Spam

He mentions Hawaii but not The Philippines where it's also very popular. Probably a carry over from WW II. You can get one of these at Jollibee.

I remember visiting the Spam Museum in Austin (LINK) and complaining because they didn't have a cafe where you could get a fried Spam sandwich!

Spam is always alive and well at most 1940's days that we have visited.

Great minds think alike, I had a fried spam butty for my dinner yesterday, used the runt end of my last home baked Chia loaf. We found strong flour yesterday morning so I baked a couple of loaves in the afternoon. As the oven was on I made some rock buns as well.

I had chicken and veggies X two for breakfast and tea. I had a snack at lunch time, an onion fried in rings until it was brown with two fried eggs. Carb free, tasty and fattening!

chicken and veggies X two for breakfast and tea. And no it's not boring, the meat and veggies is sitting in the same pan in a cold fridge and the tastes gradually strengthen and combine all week. It really is better now than four days ago!

The last of the chicken and veggies for breakfast and tea. Cooking today!
(I do like to have a clear out of the fridge by Friday night. I don't understand fridges full of leftovers!)

Nibbly things for tea today

Breakfast was sausage and mushy peas, tea was a Scotch Egg , peas and veggies. Big cook yesterday. I have a chicken and 5 days veggies in the fridge.

Chicken Breast and veggies X two for breakfast and tea. Lovely, no wonder i can't lose weight!

Chicken and veggies X two for breakfast and tea.....

Susan brought Haggis back from the far north so yesterday I had haggis and veggies X two for breakfast and tea.

Straight chicken for breakfast and a big mistake for tea. I 'treated' myself to a butty and paid the price. I have to accept that bread is definitely off the menu!

Still affected by the bread! Had chicken and veggies X two for breakfast and tea.

Ciabatta is notoriously high in carbs, that's probably why.
I still eat bread but try and stick to lower carb options, I made some focacia yesterday which is reasonably low and slow release. I had a piece with a latte for lunch which kept me going until tea time.

I must have developed a very high resistance to bread Kev and have learned my lesson.
I cooked white cabbage and various exotic veggies with spices and produced a panful of delight.
Good job I did because when the butcher's order was delivered there was no chicken! I have fished out a lump of mutton and will survive. Breakfast and tea was chicken with veggies. Almost finished, just one helping left for breakfast this morning.....

I cooked mutton and survived. Big veggie cook in later in the morning. Scotch egg and veggies for breakfast and mutton and veggies for tea.

Mutton and veggies X two for breakfast and tea.

Mutton and veggies X two again. I cooked cabbage and hot and spicy chicken wings to see me through the week.

Mutton and veggies X two for Breakfast and tea. It improves as the week goes on, marvellous what a spell sat in the fridge does for cooked food like this.

Spicy wings and veggies X two for breakfast and tea.

Next job is to prep some mince and onions for the slow cooker. Need an early tea as we will be at the lecture tonight.

Spicy Wings and veggies got me through the day but I will admit to falling off the carb wagon whilst on Bookie watch yesterday. I treated myself to a bacon butty with brown sauce from Babs at Barlick Bites..... (I know, distinct lack of moral fibre!)
