Another no-van day, and still low-carb/veggie

 We were going to have another attempt at going to the van today, but heavy rain is forecast for the middle of the day so we're not going.....I won't be able to do any gardening, and being stuck in a relatively small static van with the TV on all day and a bored husband is not good.  Even Betty gets bored if we're stuck inside the van.

I'll have to go and do a small top up shop (was planning on doing it on the way home from the van this afternoon), we're nearly out of fresh veg and milk.  I'm going to investigate getting a box veg home delivery, fresh veg is what we eat the most of and thus it runs out quicker than anything else, and going shopping every few days means we usually spend more.  I've written a list and am determined to stick to it, got to save money for the moving fund.

I cooked a pork shoulder joint in the slow cooker yesterday until it was falling apart (for pulled pork) and made a bbq sauce to go with it.  I decided to try a bit of the pork - I haven't eaten pork (or beef, lamb, gammon or offal) for about a year now.  Yuck, I didn't like it at all, so just had the veg with some of the sauce.  So I'm still pescatarian, although I do eat minced chicken or turkey occasionally.  It's the texture of meat I just don't like anymore, although I do quite like the smell of meat when it's cooking.  Except for offal - the smell and look of it nowadays makes me want to heave - although I happily ate liver and kidneys in the past, wouldn't dream of it now though.  Funny how our tastes change.  Throughout my childhood, teens and 20s, the only veg I would eat were peas and potatoes - and, oddly enough, Brussels sprouts - now I eat and enjoy most veggies.  Except for celery, which I hate with a passion, even the smell of it is revolting to me.

I've had 2 slices of rye sourdough bread over the weekend, one each day, and am back to feeling bloated and my weight loss has stalled.  So that's convinced me to stay eating low carb indefinitely.  I've told husband his weight loss is in his own hands - I will continue to cook a healthy low carb evening meal for us both, but what he chooses to eat for breakfast and lunch is up to him.  We do generally have salads or homemade crustless quiche or frittata with a side salad for lunch, but he generally wants something carby with his.  You can lead a horse to water.....
