2pm lamb chops
6pm a tescos 100% beefburger with cheese and sliced chorizo, with a bit of added butter.
Too much protein, and not enough fat today. The lamb chops were far too lean.
The last bunny toes.

Also 2 mugs coffeesubstitute and cream. Should have added more cream! :D

Is that it now, no more bunny :happy:

Lunch: cold roast chicken with salad of raw cauli & broccoli with Caesar sauce followed by Greek yoghurt and raspberries.
Mid-afternoon: orange chia pudding and black coffee.
Dinner: omelette with mushrooms and seriously strong cheddar with salad leaves followed by low carb carrot cake with cream.

How do you make the porridge? Sounds delicious!
 
Hello all. Home from work late again, so had a quick late dinner. Blood sugars were great all day (5.1 fasting, 4.4 when I got home), so I take this as a sign that the last of the flu bugs have left the system.

@maglil55 -- so sorry that you feel lousy. The flu is no fun and it makes you feel miserable -- so thinking of you.

Breakfast: Two double decaffeinated espressos with cream and erythritol. Some roasted vegetables (bellpepper, eggplant, zucchini, mushrooms, olive oil) with Greek yoghurt, half a DD keto roll with butter, three prawns and two merguez sausages. One of the Adonis bars -- hope I won't finish all of them off in a matter of a week -- @shelley262 is right, they are on the expensive side.

Lunch: Nothing.

Dinner: Lupini hummus, roasted vegetables, Greek yoghurt, two scrambled eggs, one Wiener sausage, half a glass of wine.
 
Evening all. Posting a bit late today - full of energy after dinner so headed to the gym and just back.

@maglil55 sorry to hear you’re not feeling too good.

@ziggy_w glad you’re on the mend.

Today was a fishy day.

Breakfast - none

Lunch - tin of wild Alaskan salmon with mayonnaise, 1 boiled egg and a mini babybel Gouda.

Dinner - pan fried sea bass fillet with with buttered cabbage, followed by chocolate chia pudding with cream. Just one portion of the runny batch left.
 
Evening all, Ive enjoyed looking through all the posts from the last few days. I feel the need to have slow cooked belly pork soon! @Goonergal I’ve had it from M&S a couple of times - they do a smallish joint (750g ish) and following the cooking instructions on it has given superb results.

Iceland was wonderful, can’t recommend it enough, even though the Northern lights didn’t come out to play. ( good excuse to go back)

Journey started annoyingly when I realised I’d left my lovingly prepared Oopsie rolls in the fridge, but I wasn’t hungry enough to try the Easyjet food thankfully.

Breakfast in the hotel was standard international fare so was easy enough: scrambled eggs, cold meats and salami, cheese etc. I found that eating a couple of extra slices of salami kept me full way beyond lunch. We were out on tours most days and they tended to stop off for lunch breaks at fast food places so I was glad not to have to bother. ( I also packed some Adonis bars and pork scratchings just in case!)

I tried to choose well in the evenings but had a couple of horrible shocks at post prandial testing. One night I ordered the fish of the day; ling ( delicious, a bit like cod) and it came on a barley risotto, only a couple of spoonsful but I ened the evening with bg 9.6 !

Quite sad to be home but relieved to have some control over what I eat again.

@ziggy_w you posted that you use sour cream instead of tomato puree on puzza base - do you flavour it or just spread it straight on?

@shelley262 I did laugh when I read about your hollow rolls but glad they tasted good. I havent tried that recipe yet.

Today I had no breakfast, (too early departure for hotel breakfast)

Lunch when we got home mid afternoon was a Pret avocado and crayfish salad

Dinner roast chicken and salad and a couple of glasses of cold dry white wine.

My daughter is here and has made us some crispy roast kale snacks ( spread chopped kale on a baking sheet, spray with olive oil, season with s&p a bit of chilli flakes and grated parmesan, then bake for 10-20 mins at around 180 tossing once or twice until crispy - really good)
 
Just had dinner:
Half a burger, 2 slices of bacon and home made slaw

Lunch at work was 3 sausages, handful of spinach and a bit of sauce (I take lunch to work)

Breakfast was 2 x bullet proof coffee. I went overboard with the cream sadly
Was consoling myself as I have a stinkin’ cold...

Welcome back! Very jealous of your Iceland trip and thanks for the tip about the M&S belly pork. One of their food halls is about to open near the office, so a good excuse to go in.

I agree about Iceland and the pork belly, I’ve never tried it but love the sound of it and we have an M&S Simply food very nearby.
 
Hi @DJC3,

Your trip to Iceland sounds wonderful. It must be really beautiful over there.

Regarding the pizza, just plain sour cream, then sprinkle with cheese and whatever topping you enjoy. Traditionally for a tarte flambe it's onion and bacon, but there are also variations. I just put anything I like on it.

@Contralto if you scroll back to post #13232 in this thread you’ll find tips/recipes for pork belly in that post and a few after it.
 
OK so this bug has gone thermonuclear as far as my BGs are concerned. Libre is totally confused and put me at 12.1 going to bed - was bad enough at 10.8. Down to 7.2 this morning but DP took it back to 8.9. Had to go out too to drop son and grandsons at the pony club (should have been last week but it was pouring). Will be dragging myself back soon to pick them up. In the middle of nowhere so no other option.
B. The other half of that Mattesons smoked sausage and a Tassimo Americano grande with a dash of cream.
L. Sleep probably!
D. Poached salmon fillet with prawn cocktail, 1/2 avocado, Santini tomatoes, boiled egg and lettuce.
I'm hot, achy and fevered with a nasty sore throat.
