for 1 minute.
Put the spinach mixture into a bowl and stir in the chopped meat. Add
brandy, egg and seasonings; mix well.
Arrange bacon slices across bottom and sides of 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch
loaf pan, letting slices hang over edge. Put half the meat mixture
into the pan. Arrange hard-cooked eggs (peeled) lengthwise down the
center of the meat pressing down slightly. Put remaining meat on top
and wrap bacon across the top.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cover pan with aluminum foil. Set in a baking pan with hot water
reaching a third of the way up the sides of the pan. Bake for 1 1/2
hours, or until meat juices run clear. Let stand uncov- ered for 30
minutes. Pour off fat. Cover and put weights on top. Refrigerate 24
hours.
Remove from pan and trim off excess fat. Cut into 1-inch slices and
wrap in clear plastic wrap with gherkins and onions and tie with
ribbon for a delicious gift.

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weightDrink more water. At times during a hectic day, you guess you are peckish but in truth you might only want a restorative glass of water or cranberry juice. The sensations of needing food and needing a drink are close, but one can result in a fat tummy and the alternative is ok.
Some reduced carb diet tips:
* Don't skip meals Most low carbohydrate recipes are, rather obviously, low in carbs. Our bodies need energy, and carbs are a very efficient source of energy. A low carbohydrate diet requires extreme care in managing your intake of energy, as any energy provided by protein and fat is slower acting.
* Make reduced carbohydrate bread crumbs for breaded foods. While you can sometimes buy reduced carb bread crumbs, you can make them yourself by simply using low carb bread. All you have to do is toast the low carbohydrate bread in a preheated oven on a sheet of cookie paper. Once it is well toasted, process it in your food processor or blender. Keep in a tupperware container.
Foods containing carotenes
(includes cilantro, kale and tomato puree)
These amazing healthy superfoods are rich in the carotenoids believed by nutritionalists play a key part in minimising the risk of cancer, specifically those cancers involving the lungs. Many also help you lose weight, so should be a part of every diet system.
