A tale of two pâtés

I had a hankering for pate today so I bought 2 different types in Dunnes.
 
This one was the cheaper of the two.  It is very artificial tasting.

 
It is also a strange pink colour!


The other pate I bought is from the Blue Haven Food Co in Kinsale, Co Cork.
 
It is fresh and home made tasting and deliciously smooth.

It is also a fairly normal colour!

As an aside, what colour are your eggs?
 
Here in Ireland, there seems to be only brown eggs on sale.  I am always amused to see white eggs in America when I visit.  I used to think they bleached them but now I know that certain varieties of hens produce white eggs while other varieties produce brown!


A little LCHF snack I made for my husband.
Blueberries in cream
Avocado with lime & oil dressing
Italian ham wrapped cheese (with a smear of butter)

It's the weekend!

My plan for the day is
1. Coffee in Coffee Society
2. Pay bills in the post office
3.  Breakfast of bacon and eggs
4. Go to the city with Ciaran - he's buying new clothes
5.  Clean my house - take down the Christmas tree
6.  Dinner of pulled pork (have it in the slow cooker currently)

Update>
Went in to town and browsed a few shops.  Bought a top in Zara and also a jumper and another top in TK Maxx.

Ciaran bought a shirt in Zara and a pair of black brogues in TK Maxx.

Then we got straight back in the car and drove home.

We visited French Connection, Dunne and also H&M.  We did not find the sales to be any good   :-(



  Later on I made LCHF "Chips". 

All you need to do is grate cheese in to piles on a baking sheet.


Pop the cheese under the grill.


Voila!  Cheese chips!





A tasty high fat low carb snack


 Have you ever tasted cheese chips?
