Brunneria: Tell Mr B he is cruel eating a cinnamon bagel in front of you. Well done for resisting! Don't know if I could have done. I used to love anything with cinnamon. LOL

Yeah, but I eat CHOCOLATE in front of him (70% cocoa solids, truffles, low carb hot choc...) and he has sworn of Chocolate for about 7 years now (once he started, he just couldn't stop), so I do get my um... perhaps revenge isn't quite the right word. ;)

Slight change of plan as the halibut wasnt defrosted enough to cook :-( but blood sugars have been very well behaved :)
so I decided to give the electric spiralizesr Ive had sitting in the cupboard unused for the last 6 months a try out.
Fried up wild mushrooms, button mushrooms and garlic in some butter, added 2 tsp pesto, 20g goats cheese and a large spiralised courgette, cooked some more, lashings of black pepper - yum! Spiralizer is a bit of a faff but I will persevere before I succumb ro buying ready spiralized courgetti
Sugars behaving perfectly so 60g mint and chocolate Oppo ice cream was then consumed - one very contented badcat

I read that at first that you'd had chocolate with the tuna!

Monsoon weather outside - glad it waited until I was home. I am definitely returning to more normal levels. Bed 5.3 FBG 6.3 and pre breakfast 7.1. Busy day deposited the boys at holiday club and nursery then off to physio in town. Came home for a quick lunch then back into town to the Eye Pavilion. To be fair it only took 1.5 hrs today but getting into town, getting parked and getting back took longer.
B. 2 Herta chicken sausages , 2 mushrooms and a fried duck egg
L. Tassimo morning coffee and a dash of cream. The leftovers of yesterday's salad mix of tuna, avocado, red onion, celery, tomato, lettuce and helmanns.
D. Rib eye steak with mustard, 4 cherry tomatoes, Tesco free from Yorkshire pudding (4.2g carbs 37 calories - it was looking at me ) and another Duck egg.

I love duck eggs!! We used to keep Cayuga ducks and they used to lay those gorgeous greeny blue eggs.

B: none (although Mr B had a cinnamon raisin bagel, so boy was I tempted!)
L: tuna mayo, salad and chocolate truffles
D: barbecue chicken (pot roast with spices) and a ratatouille excavated from the freezer

Today will probably be an exact repeat. The scent of cinnamon is already filling the house. So I may add in a low carb cinnamon muffin cake for elevenses. There is only so much torture I can stand.

Have you ever tried that with just butter I.e. no nut butter. I have this aversion to nut butters. It's odd as I like certain nuts so long as they are not roasted or salted and I don't mind the nutty milks but the butters......yuk. I've tried to like them but they make me sick and the smell of a salted nut makes me nauseous.

After a day of proteinomania (blood sugars were stable at 5.5. to 5.7 for more than 24 hours), I have been doing better today.

Breakfast: Two cups of double decaffeinated espresso with cream and xylitol.
During the day: One square of 85% chocolate.
Later: An evening out at our favorite tapas place. Two glasses of red wine, some salted almonds, some sardines, some cheese, some fabulous company. For the first time in more than 36 hours blood sugars dropped into the fours (probably thanks to the red wine).

Had a lovely food day today where I've enjoyed everything I've had to eat.

B. Left over from last night's dinner - Cottage pie made with a cauliflower cheese top, delicious hot last night, but even better cold this morning.
L. Green salad with a tiny bit of Wensleydale crumbled over it.
D. Bacon, eggs, mushroom.

Cottage pie sounds good. I'm looking for a few simple recipes to add to my repertoire. Don't have a food processor (tiny flat, tiny kitchen) - would a hand held blender blitz cauliflower?

I got the recipe off my work colleague who is an Atkins fan. I didn't bother blitzing it, I like the cauliflower cheese texture. My colleague mashes it though, just with an normal hand masher thingy.

I've tried blitzing it using a stick blender - I think it over-whizzed it because the texture wasn't at all nice like a very thick cream with a few lumpy bits. I think that, next time, I'll follow @luceeloo 's suggestion and use a normal potato masher.
