    Bento Boxes

    No family, just me and my dogs :rolleyes:. I must find a recipe for this! It sounds lovely. Is it fairly low carb?

    Diabetic Frendly Cheese Cake

    Oooh yum!! I have to give this a try. We don't have Graham crackers here but I'm sure I can think up an alternative. :biggrin:

    Rocklobster's latest kitchen blunder

    For me the worst spillage is an egg broken onto the floor. I just hate cleaning that up.

    Bento Boxes

    Those containers sound perfect. I'll have to look out for something like that. I'll see about getting those soba noodles too. I have never had cornbread even when I've visited the U.S. It would be good to try it. :smile:

    The Fat Duck Bray UK

    Yes, he is a gentleman. He does have other restaurants around England. All of which are very difficult to get a booking for and all run to the same high standard. I like his style but his food is not meant to be for everyday consumption. It is highly stylized and very intricate.

    Bento Boxes

    Ok, all my stuff has arrived. Time to play! I have cooked and frozen lots of rice already. Do you ladies cook and freeze portions of your other dishes too? I would love to cook everything from fresh but there isn't always time. Also I need to keep my meals very low carb. I have made my rice...

    What have you had for breakfast lately?

    This morning it was some chicken casserole left over from last night.

    The Fat Duck Bray UK

    LOL: I am just insane without the excuse of Adht. I am in Milton Keynes. The city of roundabouts and concrete cows.

    The Fat Duck Bray UK

    Yeah, I love all his tv stuff. I have never quite decided whether he is a genius or completely insane. Probably the perfect mix of both.

    Bento Boxes

    Oooh!! Just found Casabento.com It is a french company but they ship anywhere. Just click on the little flag on the left for languages and there is a currency changer further down. Wow! I'm on my way to Bento food. LOL

    What's Cooking for Valentine's Day 2011?

    I and a load of my single friends are getting together for a meal this evening. We'll each bring something to the table and some wine and just have a lovely singles Valentine! It should be a lot of fun. I am taking tempura prawns and a mixed rice dish.

    Nearly that time again.

    I have to admit that I do it for the sheer joy of doing it and never even think about the energy I put into it or whether it is worth it. I just love the achievement and having food from garden to table in minutes.:smile: My garden isn't very big but I make up for that by using lots of hanging...

    Who's Trying to Lose Weight?

    I am on one of my weight loss jaunts at the moment. Quitting smoking and Christmas really didn't do my figure much good. I have simply lowered my carb intake and slightly increased my exercise. This has always worked for me. I am losing about 3lbs a week which suits me just fine. Good luck to...

    Diabetic stuff

    I think it is very important to remember that every diabetic is different. I, for instance, cannot eat fruit with out injecting extra++++ insulin. I know other diabetics that can practically live on fruit. I have a very low carb diet and that keeps me balanced ( at least in the diabetic sense :)...

    Nearly that time again.

    I've just started looking around for this year's seed orders and thought "Strewth, is it really getting to that time again?" We have had very high winds which have done a lot of damage in our gardens this year so I will have to replace some trees and shrubs. I will be growing all the usual...

    Type II Diabetes

    I am type 1 but I hope you won't mind if I put my beak in here. Over the years I have learned that listening to my health team and using portion control, carb counting and exercising is the only way to go. I have been through phases of "denial" where I would just do whatever I feel like...

    Another Brit newbie.

    Hello everyone. I hope another Brit is welcome here. I am diabetic and, over the years, have learned to adapt my cooking for a healthy lifestyle. I am hoping to learn here and make some friends with a similar fascination for all things cooking. I look forward to getting to know you.
