I've now lost about 11-12kgs, my clothes are swimming on me. We are still sticking to low carb. Last Sunday I cooked a silverside beef roast in the crock pot in a tin of tomato and a box of organic broth.     I would normally cook my pot roast in cream of mushroom soup with …

She Talks To Angels

The week since our party has been full on so I was very happy to see the arrival of the weekend. Sunday we went to Alphenstube. The food was beautifully cooked. I had chicken schnitzel and chips and a side of sauerkraut which I love but seldom have. Norm had a lovely looking big steak …
