Must be made differently there then. GF bread here is indistinguishable from
regular bread.

I can get this whole range of foods in my local supermarket, I have bought
some of the items for the kids when they were on special.

No, it is fermented, like pickles, traditionally in barrels. think of
it as a kind of pickled cabbage.

Not gluten in there that I know of.

Don't think I would like it then since I'm not real big on pickles.

Well, tomorrow there's just us - we've done with all the visiting for
the season - so there will be;
- hummous and taramasolata with carrot, tomato, celery and cucumber as
dip, pitta bread for the carb-eaters, and maybe I'll get round to
making some low-carb tortillas for me;
- left-over belly pork for sandwiches; plenty of lettuce in the
fridge, also mayo and mustard, MUST make tortillas : )
- the spare-ribs I cut off the belly pork, which are baking in some
hoisin sauce as I write
- brownies made with erythritol

Apart from the lettuce, about the only veggie I have left in the house
is a butternut squash, so I guess that's for supper! Good job the
organic boxes start up again on Wednesday...

I found them a tad fiddly to make so doubt I'd be making them often, but
they were quite good.

A nice change from the Wasa-type cracker all the time.

I really liked them and being an old cookie baker I didn't mind the "fiddly"
part. I'll definitely make them again soon.

Speaking of cookies ... I took a "flax-z-snax" brand brownie mix and added
the required 2 eggs plus 1/4 cup da vinci cherry flavor syrup (instead of
water) and 1/4 cup each of chopped fresh cherries, sugar free choc chips &
pecans. Baked them as cookies. It made 36 cookies and the mix makes 16
brownies at 5 carbs each. I figure with the added ingredients each cookie
should be around 3 carbs each. They were really good.
