Old Timers and Newbies!

I don't think they sell da Vinci syrups over here, and I don't like Splenda - it has a very nasty aftertaste to me. Also, I don't really like to eat too much sweet stuff, because it just perpetuates a taste for it, and reduces your sensitivity to sweet flavours, so that over time you need to add more. So I use real honey or whatever, but just use maybe half a tsp, so only about 3g carb. Just another LC area where we all have to work out our own strategy! If you eat/like splenda, then that would be a good one to try.

Mine came from the supermarket. There are also on-line suppliers of the various ingredients for making cheese or yoghurt.

No, I had a big enough dinner that I'm not actually hungry - and it's nearly bed time . I'll save my plans for breakfast time.

Ooops...sorry!!!

I kept waiting for your response, and I didn't notice that it went on to another page.

And here I thought that you went off to fry up some of that bread!!!!

[Ailuros]

I'll try one of the bread cheese variations for breakfast. For lunch we're planning to eat the ricotta mixed with some herbs and chopped walnuts, and wrapped in parma ham (there's still some left from the Italian goodies ).

That's good that you know what your triggers are!!! I think that the bread cheese will be very useful for many things. I can't wait to hear what you do with it for breakfast.

I hope that the supermarkets here carry the Rennet. I wonder what it would be by?

That all sounds VERY good!!!!

What do you think you'll make for breakfast with the bread?

How large of a round did one batch make? How thick is it?

[Ailuros]

The bottle in my fridge had a 2006 expiry date (I don't use it very often!) so I can't remember where it was. Next time I'm in there I'll see if they still stock it and get an in-date replacement . It might have been with the baking stuff - along with the vanilla essence, baking powder, plain gelatin and that kind of thing.

Sorry...about all of the questions!!!

Can you tell that I am excited to make some of these things?

Either cream and fruit or fried in butter with jam.

I made a round that's about 8" diameter and 1/2" thick - at least, it was 1/2" thick before I baked it, a bit less afterwards.

I can't wait to hear all the things you'll be cooking up once you get your own kitchen again .

That would probably be a good place to look first. Or....you could just ask alot of questions...like me, and bother a store employee...and make them find it for you!!!!

My mouth is drooling. How will you have jam? Aren't there alot of carbs in jam?

Did this seem like alot of work for 1 round of this size?

[Lost and Found]

I vote for fried in butter with cream cheese and fruit.

[Lost and Found]

Or.....fried in butter with cinnamon and honey

[Lost and Found]

Geez...that sounds more like dessert than breakfast.

[Ailuros]

I have no idea why I said jam . I don't even think we have any in the house, because I didn't particularly like it even before I started eating LC. It really is time for me to go to bed :lol:. If I do the fried in butter thing, then I could use cream and 1/2 tsp honey or maple syrup, or I'm also wondering about mixing some herby mustardy cream cheese (leftover from today's lunch) with some smoked fish to make a sort of fish paste, and spreading that on it. I'll see what appeals at the time.

What time is there?

[Lost and Found]

I was referring to the fish spread...on the bread cheese.

Real quick.....do you think that Pear is alright?

I hope so.

It always worries me when people eat something that they are sorry for...and then, are missing for the whole entire day afterwards!!!!
