PROTEIN SANDWICH THINS

 

I don't know about you, but I spend a good hour, if not more, scrolling on Facebook and Instagram a day.  Just looking at what other people are doing.

And the other day I saw this guy making some 'Protein Sandwich Thins', and I thought, hmmm... I might give that a try.

I got the necessary ingredients, cos like, who  has Almond Flour in their pantry?  Not me.

ABOVE:  There's only 4 ingredients, and you just combine it all together... well you beat the eggs and cottage cheese together first, then add the dry ingredients.  The recipe calls for some sort of seasoning, so I just added some garlic salt.

ABOVE: I wasn't sure how 'big' to make them, so just winged it.  (Clearly I didn't read the recipe for that bit.)

ABOVE: And yeah, maybe a bit big?   Anyway, each one has about 14 grams of protein and 3 grams of fibre, and bugger all carbs.  So, a good alternative to a slice of bread, a wrap or a scone.

Stew and I tried them last night and really liked them. 

The guy who I got the recipe off has an Instagram page, with lots more diet and health tips.

And now... on to today's agenda.  Which will be sewing.  Lacy is coming over later on in the morning to do some housework.

ONWARD...

9.30 am:  We were supposed to have a heavy frost this morning, but no!  Nice surprise.  I'm now heading down to the Community Centre to get some fresh fruit and veges, some bloke brings it in from his farm.  Nice one.

ABOVE:  Well we may not have had a frost, but it's still OMG COLD outside!  The fruit and vege truck was not exactly well stocked, I managed to get the only pears she had, and a small bunch of bananas.  I thought the prices were pretty steep too, so won't do that again.

Shame really, because it's a nice service for the very elderly people here, who just want a few things and don't want to go to the supermarket. 

So now that I'm home again, I'm heading into Crabby Quarters.  Lacy isn't here yet, probably snuggled up in bed still... I wish I was. 

ABOVE:  Now I remember why I've not done these runners in a while! Stitching around bubbles etc is a pain in the arse. So much more work than a Braid Runner!  I might get this one finished today, if I'm lucky.

The bloody housekeeper ain't turned up, and a voice message late in the morning didn't exactly tickle me pink.  So maybe she will turn up tomorrow?  Grrrr.   Coco was so looking forward to her bath too. 

I'm feeling a bit bummed out.  I gained .500 grams when I weighed in this morning, and I know why.  The wrap and fruit I had yesterday was too much.  I better not do that again!  That was a big gain for one damn day.

2.50 pm, and I just finished that fish runner.  On the last row of stitching I managed to jamb a pin into the side of my index finger... blood spurted immediately.  AND thank you God, I managed to keep it off the runner!

Blood on the runner would have been a disaster I tell ya.

Phew, crisis averted.  And the runner?

ABOVE:  'Rangitoto Island' is done.

I will be making at least 1-3 more before summer.

I made a start on the next Fishy Runner late this afternoon, but stopped when Stew arrived home from work.

We have spent the evening watching TV and just keeping comfy and warm.  

Coronation Street is coming up in half an hour, so I shall sign off for the day, watch that then head off to bed.

Catch ya tomorrow.
