Day 36

What a day! Yesterday it was my sister-in-law's birthday, and on Thursday it will be the Eldest's birthday. Eldest wanted only one thing for her birthday: An ice cream cake. Yeah, I know. It's in the middle of winter. And yes, I know, we currently have a bit of a cold spell... But she's turning 17, and who knows how a 17-year old mind works? I knew, once, long ago... But it's many years since I've been 17.

Anyway, the Wife decided to make a nice big lunch today, for us and the in-laws. Total banting, except for the ice cream cake, and the Appletizer. What a lunch!

We started of with giant black mushrooms, grilled in butter. On top of that was a creamy spinach (with garlic!), topped of with crumbled feta. It was delicious. And it was only the beginning!

Main meal was a bobotie, a cauliflower bake with many other tasty ingredients (loaded cauliflower, I think the recipe is called), and baby marrows with red and yellow peppers. Desert (eaten more than an hour later) was the previously mentioned ice cream cake.

I always enjoyed Appletizer, because it was not as sweet as other cool-drinks. Oh boy, what was I thinking? Yeah, sure, it is still delicious, but damn, it is a helluva lot sweeter than I remember! So, if I don't lose much kg's this week, I'll know why. Specially as we will have the rest of the ice cream cake on Thursday. Luckily I've lost another two kilos this past week, so picking up a kilo or so won't be the end of the world.

And if the above dishes sounds good to you, we got the recipes from Low-Carb Is Lekker. There is still a lot more recipes there I want to try. Lucky for me Banting is a long-term thing. Still a lot of time to try out all those delicious recipes!
