I just can’t do potatoes

The parents who meet at Starbucks after dropping their kids off at a nearby primary school were discussing roast dinners and the solitary male said he had no problem with any of it but he just couldn’t manage potatoes. At the same time another one of them, after raving about her skill with spuds, was saying how she’d switched to sugar free something but had managed to put on weight. If only they knew about carbs. And that meals don’t need them.

Interestingly, there was a news report this morning about the NHS no longer funding people’s allergies. Gluten, for instance. At the moment, if you have a gluten intolerance, a GP can prescribe you gluten free products (bread being the main one) which, depending on your circumstances, you get for free. My reasonable question is if you have a gluten intolerance wouldn’t it make more sense to just cut out everything with gluten in it? It’s going to be better for you to reduce your intake of processed food anyway. It’s not like gluten is a life’s necessity.

And yet, tampons are a luxury item.

I really don’t get that. If I was to go the doctor and tell her I had a physical reaction whenever I ate bread and therefore needed to go gluten free then, because I’m over 60 and get my prescriptions for nothing, I’d go to the chemist and get a loaf of gluten free bread for nothing. I think that’s a ridiculous waste of money.

Tampons, on the other hand, are not something you can just decide to stop using. If anything should be free on the NHS surely it should be sanitary products rather than food for allergy sufferers.

In our house, we just change our lifestyle when we realise how much poison we’re pumping into our bodies. With this in mind, tonight I made a no pasta lasagne and it was delicious. I reckon it looked okay as well.

Very few carbs here

It was very welcome after a day spent in the garden weeding as well as in the house doing housework. Sitting down to a yummy dinner after a day in the sun is always a pleasure…particularly when the sun is hanging around an hour longer now.

    looks delishmundo as dad used to say might have spelt it wrong lol. you should put your low carbs eating in the paper when you read it and some people might like to try it. It seems funny a guy not liking roast spuds. but takes all different people.
