Bubbles McBubble's Journal, 15 May 23

okay I sold out. I'm not even logging. i can't remember how bad it got.

It started with my mother's day breakfast at a keto restaurant with my darling daughter, son and daughter in law to be... (I'm working on it.)

I had keto toast with 2 eggs and a long black with cream and 2 sweeteners and the two girls had a stack of pancakes with fried banana, bacon and whipped cream...

I had a long black with cream and 2 sweeteners for a treat, daughter had an iced coffee (with icecream, cream and chocolate sauce) ...

I held out. So good.

Then... afternoon tea. My sisters brought mum over, and I had sent my daughter to the shops for milk and lamingtons, as I had nothing for tea, and I know I can withstand lamingtongs. My daughter came back with neenish tarts as well as lamingtons. And then they all left because they'd waited and my fam were going to be even later... so...

I have long had an association with neenish tarts. I don't know if you know what they are... A little pastry case, filled with a light fluffy sweet, tangy lemon mousse, a bit like a buttercream, and then on top you have one half coated in white chocolate, and on the other half, brown chocolate. You eat them by slowly biting off the pastry around the outside, and then you munch off the pastry from the bottom and then you are left with the mousse and the chocolate. At that point anything is fair game. Eat the mousse and finish with the chocolate? or see how much chocolate you can bite off before the mousse has nothing to sit on, and you have to eat it. Variety is the spice of life, I change it up often.

There were six of these. There were four of us there, and my little sister had one neenish tart, and that was it. That Left Five Neenish Tarts.

I think I'd just had so much sacrifice all day. I die for pancakes and those bananas had been perfectly fried and caramelised, and the DIL-to-be (i'm workin on it) didn't eat half of hers! And I didn't go near them!

A day of suffering, and endurance, and it all culminated when the darling mum and sisters left me, alone, with the remaining bits of lamington and neenish tart.

To my credit, most of the remaining lamingtons are in the rubbish. You really have to eat lamingtons very quickly after opening as they go stale fast. So that was an easy trip to the rubbish bin. But I ate five neenish tarts yesterday.

I won't be in ketosis again for a fortnight. I hope I think it was worth it. :p
