A Friendship Lost  

Posted by: reflective moments

We don't always know the reason why friendships are severed, but one thing is for sure, it leaves a void in those who were part of it.

I remember the time not long ago
When we laughed and shared it all
We were the very best of friends
Or at least that’s what I thought.
I often wonder why friendships end
What happens to sever that tie
How can someone once so close
Just wave you off with a good bye
I must have been lacking
I must have been wrong
I wasn’t the friend to you
That you were to me all along.
I thought I was loyal
I know I was true
But something went wrong
Now there’s nothing to do
A friendship lost
Is a very sad thing
The angels weep instead of sing.

Easy to make low carb Scotch eggs recipe.  

Posted by: reflective moments

I have been experimenting with different versions of Scotch eggs and settled on this low carb version.....

Scotch eggs are traditionally deep fried with bread crumbs but neither is necessary and makes for an easy low carb conversion.

  • 4 hard boiled eggs (place eggs in cold water and bring to the boil.. let boil for no more than 12min)
  • Sausage or pork mince
  • spices as desired  
  • (I have diced an onion finely and mixed it into the mince or just used some ground black pepper)
  • grated/shredded cheese (optional)
Boil and remove the shells from 4 eggs.  On a sheet of wax paper, spread out about 1/4 of the sausage mince and pat out thinly.  Sprinkle some grated cheese on top of the sausage and place one hardboiled egg in the center.  Carefully wrap the sausage "blanket" around the egg keeping all the cheese on the inside.  Make sure to pinch the sausage together where the ends meat to help keep the cheese inside.  Repeat for the other three eggs.  You can fry them or partially fry them (just sear the outside) and complete the cooking by baking them in the oven at 180c/300 degrees for about 15-20 minutes.  The sausage layer should be fairly thin so it won't take very long to cook either way you choose.

There are many, many versions of Scotch Eggs but these cheesy low carb one's are my preference,
