Did I say shortbread? This could work. Will need to wait until I come back though.

OMG!!!!! I used to have that as a Sunday dessert when I was little - but Dad (a chef) called it 'Lemon Cream'. I had completely forgotten about it..... childhood memories have come flooding back.

Just seen that video. So easy!
The only thing I will say is that goodness those portions are HUGE.
I would only want about a third of one of those portions. Even the little ramekin sized portion in the Sainsbury's version was a bit big. Although I managed to soldier on through it. I am good like that.

Think I might make it on Sunday - nice easy dessert.

Still have a lingering bug. Bed 6.4 FBG 7.1 then got waves in the 8's and low 9's before it came back down.
B. Nothing
L. Nothing - living on water and paracetamol
D. More using up - slice ox tongue, mortadella and smokehouse cured ham. 4 tre colori pomodori and an omelette with parsley. Odd combination but I'm trying to use up things I can't freeze.

Well, BG and eating have been all over the place today. Started out at 5.1, which is within my usual FBG range. Morning rise was only 0.4 mmols to 5.5. Usually I then head downwards all day. Not today, up to 6.5 by 10 am and still at 5.8 pre-lunch, despite not eating. Headed down from there, but only slowly. Finally hit 4.7 post dinner. Really odd!

Offsite departmental away-day followed by event at a funder’s office, then to a pub to continue team away-day, so eating all out of kilter.

Breakfast - none

Lunch - Had a large one as knew dinner would be late and bitty. Pret A Manger Tuna Niçoise salad, with some of the French dressing, Pret Egg and Avocado protein pot, Awfully Posh pork crackling.

Dinner - a few slices of salami/cold meat in the pub, 50g almonds. Was still hungry when got home and as BG finally down, had some more Awfully Posh and 2 squares Lindt 90%.

Knew you'd manage to get your way through a massive portion like that @Brunneria, even if it was a battle - you got there

About two ounces of Parmesan and lots of cream in lots of coffee. Tomorrow will probably be a hungry day and I’ve a large pork joint defrosting to roast.

Found out about the wonder of Whey protein ! I looked for some with stevia sweetener and fewer additives and came up with a raspberry one from MyProtein. So have joined the smoothie world after five years of avoidance!

B - protein smoothie with almond milk

L - small salad with cheese and nuts

D - Indian meal out - hence saving up my carbs for

Chicken Chat
2 poppadoms
Tandoori chicken with veg
Coffee

Will just make it to 35/40g carbs for the day. Phew !
