Religious & Political Fanaticism, that sneeze that just won't happen, creepy ventriloquist dolls and oompaloompas.
I did just Dinner today.
The first time we've had Venison burgers.
I like blogging my eats and have done so here http://aminoapps.com/p/j9vz5j
I tried a new way of making celeriac chips today and that is to microwave them first so that they're still warm when I pour heated seasoned beef dripping on them. I found that this helps coat them evenly in the fat before I bake them off.

Clare what were your low numbers yesterday? How did you feel and what diabetes medications, if any, do you take?

Yesterday; slow smoked 13hr pulled pork.

Invited to a bbq by some close friends; always good to take something.

Effectively zero carb per portion (before put into buns).
