Watermelon gives lots of gas which I mustn't get.. I MUST stay away from certain foods because of my stomach condition after the operation a year ago.. No carbonated drinks No cabbage or the cabbage family No heavy spices No citrus drinks No watermelon No ice-cream Just to name a few items that I cannot have but if I do, I will have loads and loads of gas.. Not very pleasant passing gas after a meal that I ate the wrong food, but sometimes I do it anyway..
Supper tonight was turkey bangers on the BBQ.. Freshly picked carrots from our garden, steamed and smashed with butter..
fish... Tilapia fillets pan fried in a lemony sauce.. Steamed carrots and fresh small onions from our garden.. Stewed peach with heavy cream.. Ice tea..........
Don’t you eat Broccoli Steve ?? That’s in-the cabbage family ..as is some greens grown as a “salad” green, so I make sure i only buy soft leaf lettuce seedlings ( to grow) in summer that’s picked / regrows rather than a a lettuce that forms a head. I have diverticular disease so I try to ovoid the same “cabbage family” foods as they can cause major pain/ discomfort
Kate.. I tried broccoli steamed and it wasn't that bad but it certainly gave me some extra gas.. As far as lettuce goes, I only can eat the lettuce we grow in our garden which is a leaf lettuce.. I also tried cauliflower which also gave me gas.. Now, if I don't mind the gas, I can eat anything in the cabbage family.. Still NO carbonated drink, citrus drink, heavy spices, or ice-ream.. Now, they are pure poison to my stomach..
Fish tonight... Tilapia pan fried .. Steamed string beans.. A simple supper tonight.. No fuss and no mess..
We went to Sudbury yesterday and ended up at Walmart where I bought a BBQ chicken.. That bird will feed us for two days, last night and again tonight... I also bought a Caesar salad kit which was our veggie for the meal..
Its now Saturday and we are still eating that darn BBQ chicken.. Looks like tonight will be the last meal from that "dead bird"... Its enough !!!
Fish for supper tonight... A few salmon fillets and some tilapia fillets.. Cooked stove top in a skillet using butter and dill and sprinkled with a bit of lemon juice.. Steamed string beans from our garden with some carrots from our garden.. Stewed peaches with heavy cream..
Last night for supper I made something a bit different... VEAL LIVER !!! About once every month or so, I like to have some liver as it is good for me.. Veal liver is the best over beef liver.. Made it with a big ton of fried onions.. now, I like my liver very rare while my wife likes hers well done.. No problem, just make my slice thicker.. I ended up eating about 300g of liver which is a huge amount for me especially with the onions.. Mashed potatoes went well with that meal.. A pot of hot tea after was also very good..
I tried your fish cakes ( Pattie’s as we’d call them ) just with breadcrumbs/ egg / canned tuna but I found them a bit “heavy” Steve maybe I need to leave some of the juice as well ..I used panko crumbs
Kate... I honestly haven't made those tuna patties in a long time and I don't remember how I did them.. I often use canned salmon to make them and they turn out excellent.. Perhaps a bit less of the breadcrumbs might do it.. As long as they can form a patty in your hands, they might be OK..
Chicken breast cooked in the skillet with a honey/garlic sauce.. Steamed and mashed carrots fresh from our garden with butter and chives.. Stewed peach with heavy cream.. Pot of tea..
