Rape Seed Oil

First day, first steps!  First weekend off in November and managed to achieve lots.  Shopping, threading, highlights and lots of jobs (even pruned back a couple of plants in the garden).  It feels really good to get through a few bits and pieces - progress rather than simply a holding pattern.

Foodwise, I am sticking to low carb!  I hear you sigh but I generally feel better if I don't eat bread, pasta or rice.  So for breakfast, I had some lamb chops with mint from the local butcher on Walthamstow High Street.  HR Parsons is utterly amazing - always has a queue and the meat is such good quality.

Tonight, I'm having t-bone steak (from said butcher) and a nice greek salad.  I will be using Rape Seed oil for the dressing.  Discovered this at MasterChef Live - two weeks ago.  Apparently it has lots of Omega 3,6&9, is high in vitamin E and has half the saturated fat of Olive Oil.   Like the last bit lots and also rather like the taste.

I'm using Garlic enfused oil from Cotswold Gold (http://www.cotswoldgold.co.uk/) which is delicious and I will be looking for it in the future.  Hope this isnt a trend that passes as it really tastes lovely.
