I’ve bought myself a vertical skewer pan from Bunnings so I can make yiros meat in the oven. It’s bloody delicious.

I am just now learning this is a thing, and I immediately want one.

Was there a difference between the top and bottom layers of meat?

I highly recommend. I can’t wait to do pork and lamb on it too.

No difference at all. All I did was carve up most of it but put the most inside part back in for another 15 mins.

I used this lady’s recipe. Second time I’ve made it and so it’s not beginners luck. Been awesome both times.

Cauliflower is your friend on lo-carb.

Remember that…

Have you come across Dimitra’s Dishes? I’ve made her vegetarian gemistas and they were outstanding. I like the way she does her videos, making it clear that the recipe is just an idea that can be modified in many different ways.

I know but I can’t eat it all the time I don’t like that much

I haven’t. I shall check her out!

Today’s lunch was Mexican salad. It was delicious but would have been much nicer with corn chips.

I’m scheduled to have my remaining teeth pulled and will be restricted to soft foods for a period of three months before I get my dentures.

Three questions:

1 - What is a good blender model for making smoothies etc?

2 - What are some good smoothie recipes?

3 - What other nice soft foods could you recommend?

Banana, peanut butter, chocolate is my go to:

1 banana, 2 big spoons of PB, 2 Spoons of cocoa powder, milk according to desired thickness. The banana provides sweetness but if you want sweeter you can use drinking chocolate which is generally around 50% sugar

I use a Nutribullet

Soups yogurts pasta got me through getting my 4 wisdom teeth pulled at once until I could eat more solid food a week later using my other teeth.

You’ll need some type of protein so beans of some type might be advisable. One for the vegans to comment more on.

I hope you manage through it ok :folded_hands:

I’m going peas in my Bolognese Sauce tonight.

Mum tells me it’s predominantly a Sicilian thing…

Why not? Peas make a lot of things better.
