Organ meat for lunch!

This does not sound like the sort of thing that you would want to eat for lunch, but is tasty, but very rich.

Fried lambs kidney

Serves 1

Ingredients

1 lambs kidney
half an onion shopped small
2 large mushrooms chopped small
Large knob of butter
1 rasher, rind removed and chopped small
Dash of fresh cream

Method

Melt the butter in a thick bottomed saucepan.
Fry the onions, mushrooms and bacon until soft.
Slice the kidney down the middle and cut out the hard core
Chop the kidney into small pieces - about 10mm
Add the kidney to the pot and continue to fry until cooked. The kidney only takes about 4 minutes.
Add the dash of cream and stir the pot vigorously to scrape the caramelised bits off the bottom.
If you are not eating low carb, this would be great on a piece of toast. Otherwise, just tuck in.

Vitamin D3

Low carb has been a great revelation for us. We have lost weight, feel better and are not constantly 'feeling peckish'. We have found another important factor in health and its importance is much greater than I would have thought.

We watched a video from our friend Ivor recently. In it he talks all about vitamin D3. We used to get it from the sun, but living in Ireland does not provide enough of that. So we need to take supplements. I have started taking 4000 IU per day. My wife is starting with 3000.

You should satisfy yourself that this is the right thing to do, but as with all of Ivor's work the evidence is overwhelming. Much of modern medicine exists on a thin layer of evidence, so to come across something this concrete is great.

We will be looking for the best source of D3 pills over the coming months. The most recent ones we got were from Holland and Barrett and Boots. Both are the chalky type, so we are looking for liquid tags next. And based on the doses we are taking we need more than 1000 IU tabs.

Here is Ivor's video. It is well worth a watch.
