Salad last night

Horsegram soup with pepper and green chilli

Had never ever heard of this type of soup before, checked it out, very interesting, even though I'm not vegetarian. We may have to try a Canadian version...

D-Day remembrances over so changed avatar back to cub scout childhood from RCAF. Taking granddaughter to mall, wife to IKEA for shopping "fix", rest of day for radio spread spectrum exploring...

Thanks, bears a lot of resemblance to vegetarian chili which we make a lot using navy beans instead of the horsegram dal. Will have to find out what those are called here...

Monday June 10
FBG at 0640 was 4.6 (9 hours fasting), food yesterday was;

Breakfast: zero, zilch, black tea, 500 mg metformin
Lunch: 2 slices salami w/Keen's hot English mustard, 1/4 cup blueberries, 1/4 cup raspberries, black tea
Dinner: 3 scrambled eggs w/tabasco sauce, 3 small sausages, green salad w/Krafy Catalina dressing, 1/4 cup blueberries, glass of red wine, 500 mg metformin
Snack: 3 small glasses sake

Temp here at 0700 was +6C, scattered cloud but clear, winds must be blowing forest fire smoke in a different direction. FBG lower due to no real food for a late snack, obviously eating anything after dinner in the evening is not a good idea so will try to be more religious about that. Ordering up compressor for daughter's Chrysler 200 and crating used engine for transport & rebuilding (Land Rover), that should occupy all day...

Spending the day with Mr. Land Rover, finding many entertaining facts about how many microprocessors are in this vehicle, plus removing the tow hook covers and fuses for the active suspension system prior to installing a new primary battery. It will be a busy day...
