Don't ask why ... it's complicated ... but for a week I'm not going to eat any dairy or wheat products. Except maybe a bit o'butter.
I've got a carton of soya milk (it's an acquired taste...), ordered a non-wheat loaf from Liddell's (wonder what THAT will be like) and have been nibbling Ryvita biscuits till they come out of my ears.
My word, am I miserable or what?

Didn't know lidels did wheat free bread..do you mean rye? I haven't eaten wheat,or rye. or barley or oats for about 4 years now, and am happy as larry with rice cakes...gluten free bread is a bit dry but ok if you can't live without toast! I am contemplating giving up dairy soon as I cough so much once I've eaten it...need to get some calcium tabs firs!

Belle, that would be Liddell's as in the Barlick baker's shop, not Lidl's as in the German cut price stores.
The wheat-free loaf was, er, not exactly what you'd technically term a loaf. More like a crumbly madeira cake. Not bad in itself, but definitely not 'bread' and at £1.60 for a small loaf it's too pricey to become a regular item. You can't make toast with it, either.
Have been enjoying hard mild goat's cheese as an alternative to cow's milk cheese, but I think I'd only be able to take so much of it.
I'm told it takes about 4 weeks before you start to feel the benefits of a wheat- and dairy-free diet. If I'm honest, I'm not going to last that long!

May I suggest ewes milk wensleydale for your cheese, if you are just givingup cows milk. and the gluten free section of any super market has a range of breads that toast and are quite bread-like.

Heather, there is a lot of research that suggests that many 'gluten allergies' are more to do with additives used in commercial bread than the wheat itself. Have a furtle on the web and read the evidence. I have a friend who had the same 'problem', got a breadmaking machine, baked her own bread using only natural ingredients and cured her problem. Not suggesting you are wrong, gluten allergy does exist but it would be a pity to be deprived of toast!
Tea last night was a buttie made with home made bread and the Tamworth pork. Beautiful meat full of flavour. If you like pork, seek it out!

Casserole of beans and pork belly pre-roasted the day before. The Tamworth melts in the mouth. A well-fed pig.

Are they enjoying it? We went out for tea last night for hubby's birthday to The Grouse on the road to Haworth. Brisket to night with the usual trimmings.

I can remember what it was like for me, and I was a 'mature' student. Must be mind-blowing for a youngster. Glad it is going down well.
Finished the casserole off. Butties today..... I shall decide fillings on a whim.

Two pressure cookers fizzing away. One has some pork in and the other dried peas. These will be the base for a thick nourishing stew later on!

Had visitors on Thursday so I did Beef Carbonara in the slow cooker - it was delicious, served with new potatoes, cabbage & parsnip & carrot mash with apple pie to follow. Last night it was home made fish & chips, and tonight lamb curry - hubby has gone to a motor bike show in Stafford so it will cook along until he gets back - the longer the better.

The curry was a Lamb & Coriander Gosht - it was lovely. I ground all the spices - coriander seeds, cinnamon stick, dried chilli & cumin seeds in a pestle & mortar, stir fried the lamb until brown, added the spices and stir fried for one minute. Then added the onion and cooked until soft, added 2 chopped garlic cloves, 1 1" piece of fresh ginger choppe, 1 pint lamb stock and cooked in the oven for one hour. After the hour add 4 chopped tomatoes (or less depending on size) (or a tin of chopped tomatoes) and cooked for another hour. Served with pilau rice and naan bread.
