[Sca-cooks] low carb medieval

[Susan Fox-Davis]

The induction phase wants me to take in under 9 grams of carbohydrate per day.
Even carrots and other mildly sweet veggies will have to be rationed.  My pies
will remain without crust for a while.  Maybe dust a buttered pan with soy flour
and wheat bran, just so we can get the food out of the pat at all.

which 12th night?  I guess any ol' pork pie filling will do.  I do make a mean
Scotch Egg, coated with the aforementioned soy flour and wheat bran instead of
bread crumbs.  The last time I tried it, nobody noticed the difference.  ;-)

Of course!  But I was thinking of more "portable" goodies for tourney days.
There's only so much salad I can bear to look at.  :-p  Yeah, I'm going to have
to get used to it.
