SHOPPING TODAY

 Right.

I'm gunna go to the supermarket this morning and find Cauliflower Rice.

Sounds disgusting.

But, from everything I've read, it might be a good option to replace potato, pasta and real rice.

I read you can use it as a base for pizza as well.

So, I'm perfectly happy to give it a go.

I'm also going to find some recipes for Almond Flour 'bread'.  Thanks for that idea Lynda.

It's quite a long time since I tried to delete carbs and sugars from our diet.  It's bloody hard!

I'm scratching my head coming up with ideas, so more research is needed.  Any main meal ideas would be most welcome!

Salads and vege stir fry is about all I can come up with!

I will probably go for a walk again today too... it's certainly a good pick me up.  Even on my own.  Going over to Cambridge to walk is on the back burner at the moment.

I don't think I have the energy for longer walks right now, plus with Field Days on right now, traffic is even worse than usual.

So, that's me for now.  Just an average day  here.

 10.40 am:  Shopping is done.

I found what I was looking for... plus $100 more 'stuff'.  lol

ABOVE:  I checked out the cooking books at KMart.  None took my fancy, plus recipes online are free.

Though I must say, those books were very, very well priced!

ABOVE:  Next was the supermarket, where I found a fresh version of Cauliflower Rice.  Might try that one this evening.

ABOVE:  Then I found the frozen stuff.   Got both brands, might as well compare eh?

Then I headed home.  And saw this by our front door.

On the front of the bag is written:

CHRISTINA HARVEY

ROOM 401

GRAND MILLENIUM.

That's the hotel I stayed in while I was in Quarantine in Auckland, on my way home from Australia.

????????????????

ABOVE:  And THIS is what was inside the bag!

I'm like... no note?  No explanation.  I think I will have to ring the hotel to find out why I've been sent this?

Puzzling.

It's rather cute though.  😊  AND... how did whoever is responsible for this know I love fish/nautical stuff?????  Or was that just a coincidence? 

I just thought of something!  What if someone sent me that, to the Hotel, and they have only just gotten around to sending it to me?

THAT'S a possible explanation too.

DID YOU SEND THIS????  Please if you did, can you let me know?  

Puzzle solved.  Seems Lacy had the hotel bag from when I was in Quarantine.  She used it today to put that platter in!  WOW, thank you so much Lacy.

The fish platter is gorgeous.  

3 pm:  No walk today, it's been pissing down with rain since I arrived home from the supermarket.

While I don't mind walking in the rain usually, I just didn't feel like getting all wet today.

So, I've been fluffing around in the house, doing a little housework and so on.  Nothing riveting.

ABOVE:  This evenings dinner.  Chicken Kiev, steamed cabbage, Haloumi Cheese, Carrot/Tomatoe/Capsicum/fresh herbs, and CAULIFLOWER RICE.

I put some Garlic Butter and Cream Cheese with the cauliflower rice.

And what did Stew and I think of the 'rice'?

WE LOVED IT!   Very surprised just how much we enjoyed it.

It will definitely be on our plates most nights from now on.

Oh and that was Stew's plate, not mine.  I had half the amount he had, and that was plenty.

We tried the Woolworths brand of CR this evening.  I'll try Birds Eye tomorrow.

SPARKLING:  Oh hell no!  DCR still stands for DIET COKE ROCKS.  Forever.  😂😅😆

I'm done for the day.  Another day where food choices were great.

Catch ya tomorrow.
