After yesterday’s amazing morning with Owen Saddler at Dream Cuisine Patisserie and Café, I was on a sugar high for hours. I knew I probably should not have eaten dinner and I certainly didn’t feel like it, but I didn’t want to wake up in the middle of the night feeling hungry.
I ended up with something light. A toasted bread roll with cream cheese and sweet chilli sauce.
I woke up this morning after a sleepless night and after a couple of coffees made myself a hot breakfast.
Cheesy kale omelet with a cup of coffee
After breakfast I went for a walk around Lake Ginninderra and shot a few photographs. On the way out I noticed a notice stuck to a wall of the apartment complex I live in.
We’ve been having trouble with some of the residents shopping at the local Westfield shopping mall and bringing their groceries back with shopping trolleys and then abandoning the trolleys on the pathways around the apartment complex. The trolleys weren’t just on the footpath but also in the internal courtyard and walkways.
My neighbours in the place I rent are a mixture of people with a lot of Chinese students who attend the University of Canberra.
At the end of my walk I stopped at the Everbean Espresso Bar in the Westfield shopping mall. While I was there I met one of the owners, Andrew. He’s seen my Instagram feed and wanted to say hello. The coffee at Everbean Espresso Bar is also very good.
While I was there I enjoyed a nice caramel milk shake.
When I got home I made a simple lunch.
A smoked salmon bagel with cream cheese, raw red onion, capers, wasabi sesame seeds and sweet chilli sauce.
After ironing and watching some Star Trek I went back out to the Westfield shopping mall to get some more groceries.
For dinner I made prawns and udon noodles.

A lot of my friends in university ate a lot of instant noodles instead of proper meals. I’ve seen documentaries where instant noodles form the basis of a whole cuisine for some people. I like them but I don’t love them. That said, I always have some in the shelf of shame because they’re cheap and I couldn’t be bothered buying fancy noodles.
Tonight I baked some salmon, flaked it and added it to some noodles for a filling meal for one.
So here is a video of me eating my baked Salmon and noodles
Here is the finished meal
This morning I enjoyed a cheese and kale omelet for breakfast
I said hello to Mr Pelican again on Lake Ginninderra
For lunch I had some smoked salmon and spinach leaves
I hope you had a good Sunday

While walking around Lake Ginninderra today I shot a pelican and posted the photograph on Instagram and Twitter. ABC New Canberra asked to use it. At the time I wasn’t thinking of eating kale.
@garydlum Lovely photo! Would you mind if we use it (credited to you of course) in a story about today’s spring weather?

For lunch I made a nice salmon and cheese omelet using tinned salmon in olive oil. I’m not sure I’d buy more of that. I don’t mind salmon in brine but salmon pieces/fillets in olive oil wasn’t that great.
This afternoon while watching Netflix I snacked on some chocolate almonds and peanut M&Ms.
So tonight I tried oven baking the kale with some olive oil and sea salt.
I also participated in a Facebook meme asking me 26 questions.

I really need to lose weight. The only successful way I’ve lost weight has been to take a low carb approach. Whether this goes on or not will depend on motivation. Today I was motivated.
The thing about low carb eating is that it isn’t as easy as it sounds. You may think it’s all bacon and eggs and meat but it isn’t. It’s important to carefully choose vegetables and during the initial induction phase it’s important not to eat fruit. The big risks in the induction phase are constipation and gout. Both are uncomfortable and painful. Whether I continue depends on how I feel.
I really like cooking my bacon in a small benchtop oven which allows easy melting of cheese.
It wasn’t a great day for photography
This didn’t look that exciting but it tasted surprisingly good.
I bought these from Coles
Cooked in bacon fat and butter
So far so good for a low carb day.
