Unfortunately to my cost I have tried crack cocaine many times in the past. I’m a recovering addict. I’m happy to report I’ll be 18 months clean next week. My life is unrecognisable really to how it w

Not foodie as such.   After my mum being dead for 13 years this year I got nostalgic over the Christmas period and just really fancied one of her cheese pies. So made one today and introduced the Bo

Staying at a nice hotel with work for a change, so getting good food for a change too.

 

Unfortunately the restaurant is called Scoff and Banter, which fucking ruins all of it, but still, food was nice.

 

I never eat steak at home now - pretty much avoid beef of all types at home - so a rib eye was a rare treat even if it took £28 of my £30 meal allowance on its own.

 

And who can resist French onion soup? Not me.

Hmmm fascinating. Finished reading Penn Jillette’s weightloss book “Presto” in which he details going from death’s door to a healthy lifestyle with a prognosis of ‘good long term health’.

 

His ‘reset’ started with 2 weeks of nothing -and I mean absolutely nothing- except potatoes. Not even any added salt..in fact definitely no added salt, because it raises blood pressure and Penn’s blood pressure was 240/120 when he rocked up to ED after collapsing in a show. No caffeine (little known fact-caffeine temporarily raises blood pressure, but if you have a caffeine ‘allergy’ blood pressure does not return to normal after having caffeine)

 

Anyway! My blood pressure has been edging up of late, so I thought, bugger it, I’ll try this. Lasted one week, and literally got so sick of spuds I had to introduce bananas (another starch) so 2nd week spuds & bananas. I’m watching my blood pressure TUMBLE from a very stubborn 160/90 to anything from 125/80 to 108/75. Brilliant. Weening myself off meds and slowly introducing more whole food plants. Not sure where I’ll end up, in terms of a lifestyle food plan, but I think I’ll be permanently decaf, no added salt (using a potassium salt instead) low fat no ultra processed food for life from here on in.

One of the easiest tastiest veggie scrans around this one. Halloumi cut in half, smeared with crunchy chilli oil/sauce wrapped in tinfoil. Bung it on a roasting tray surrounded by small spuds, sliced onion, mushrooms, toms, and courgette tossed in salt n pepper and a teaspoon of oil. Bake in oven for 30 minutes.

Not just any roast, a roast with two frozen burgers as the focal point. 

burgers? Are you sure?

 

Might be chicken cutlets or something. But looks breaded to me. Surely fish is a step too far in this situation even for CD...
