Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004[Atkins and Me] Dinner - is this really dieting?
I sit down to a plate containing well-fried (I like it burned) onion and green pepper, with some bacon, chicken, and prawns. And on the side, a large dollop of full fat creme fraiche. Looks great; tastes great. Who are we kidding here? I'll never lose weight like this. 'cept, I seem to be. It's probably another aspect of the psychology of failure, but whenever I feel diet-related discomfort, I feel just plain uncomfortable; and when I don't feel that discomfort, I feel uncomfortable, because I'm not feeling uncomfortable. Maybe I'll buy a hair shirt and poke a jaggy stick in my eye. -- Posted to Atkins and Me at 1/11/2004 07:10:26 PM It probably won't last forever, so enjoy it while you can.

LMAO Whats a "Hair Shirt"? > Whats a "Hair Shirt"? Like a mohair sweater, except better for getting the circulation going: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07113b.htm slr -- http://atkinsandme.blogspot.com I respectfully beg to differ -- having knit many a mohair sweater in my time (as far as I know I was the only one who suffered, as it turns out I'm allergic to mohair). People who wore hair shirts knew what they were getting into, unlike the unintended victims of those of us who knit mohair sweaters in the past. BTW, slr, if you have not yet read The DaVinci Code, get it! (That's an in-joke for people who bothered to follow the link to hair shirt.)

It's not just uncomfortable, it's downright DANGEROUS! The rough bristles would constantly poke at the skin, sometimes piercing through. As a result of that, along with unhygenic conditions of the time and continuous irritation, pustules would form. Sometimes people DIED from the infections! So if you want to do penance or just plain torture yourself, a hair shirt is the way to GO!

"Fraiche" is not in the dictionary. I also tried using Google to translate from French, but no luck. I have no idea what it is, but name sounds yummy.

Cover and let stand at room temperature (68 to 72 degrees or put in a yogurt maker) for 12 to 16 hours or until it beings to thicken. Chill at least 24 hours before using to allow acid flavor to develop and cream to thicken further; cream should then be of almost spreadable consistency. Store in refrigerator up to 2 weeks or as long as taste is tangy but fresh. Makes 1 cup. DiGiTAL_ViNYL (no email) Thank you for the explanation, but keeping cream and buttermilk warm for hours sounds like a road to food poisoning. Maybe the culture in the buttermilk is strong enough to block random nasty stuff, but it scares me. The key to the translation from French was the odd symbol over the "i." It now translates as "fresh." > >What is a "creme fraiche?" > > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > DiGiTAL_ViNYL (no email) > Thank you for the explanation, but keeping cream and buttermilk warm for > hours sounds like a road to food poisoning.

I'd hate to tell you how they make yogurt, then. > The key to the translation from French was the odd symbol over the "i." It > now translates as "fresh." Which is, of course, somewhat misleading.

In the UK, we buy creme fraiche in the supermarket. I think it's made in France. I use it because our soured cream is a poor version of what I've had in the US. US sour cream is the perfect consistency (thick and spoonable) for fajitas. UK sour cream is thin and pourable. Creme fraiche comes in low fat versions too, and that's what I used to use. On Atkins, I'm using the real stuff :-) . > Thank you for the explanation, but keeping cream and buttermilk warm for > hours sounds like a road to food poisoning.

But not very sour. Delicious in any kind of sauce. HTH Petra Is it possible for this group not to turn every post into a mud-slinging fest? Sheesh. I remember years ago when most of the posts were about... ...you may want to sit down for this... ...LOW CARBING!!! -- Jen in ND |
