Don’t forget the Marmite, if you love it rather than hate it!
Nods enthusiastically.
While drooling.

That’s a relief! Hope you escape the confines of the NHS soon. Breakfast was a nightmare when I was in hospital too. I had my own yoghurt and berries stored in a fridge somewhere, I couldn’t go and fetch food either, it was very frustrating waiting for them to bring it. I think the fridge was the other side of the hospital as it took them agesI don't know whether to uprate you massively for an outrageously spiffing idea or hunt you down and do you you verbal harm for provoking even more hunger in my current food dessert. On balance the spiffing idea wins for now.
Just had bg test after the chips and trifle 5.8. LM*ONot much this morning after the disaster of the jug on my filter coffee machine breaking and sending coffee all over the kitchen. The cupboards did need a clear out and wipe down I guess. I’d had 1 cup before it broke at least.
Lunch was a tin of mackerel with salad then some HC 90% chocolate.
Dinner Garlic olive oil and herb marinated Airfryer chicken ( thanks for the idea @Goonergal , And I can eat the skin from airfried chicken - goes much crispier than oven cooked) with asparagus, avocado and tomato salad and coleslaw made with h/m Mayo - added s blob of Dijon mustard and splash of white wine vinegar this time.
@Ianspurs Im sure the mental benefits of a couple of chips this evening and a slice of toast in the morning will outweigh a temporary bg spike. I’m glad you are out the other side.
@SlimLizzy you seem to have done really well settling in if you are now picking salad from your garden. I don’t like clowns either btw.
Edit to say tin of mackerel, not ton.
Thanks for heads up re lemon drizzle got my order in just now! As well as millionaires shortbread 2 boxes of each - well it’s free delivery if you buy enough! Still got a fair bit of my initial batch in freezer but didn’t try the MS and the lemon is for mums freezer when go up next week I’m sure she’ll love it and I can slowly finish the current box! They recommend two months in freezer but would imagine they may last longer in there if needed .............Bed 4.9 FBG 6.9. Half day at school so not a lot of time available especially when I have a packed lunch to make and then straight to Lego Club. No 1 grandson continues to outdo all expectations - Value Champion for the 3rd week running. It seems it hasn't happened before. We were stopped by the headmistress yesterday as she wanted to tell him how proud everyone was at the change in him. He meantime shuffled around embarrassed by all the praise. Meantime back at the ranch I continue my battle with some of the vacuum bags that appear to be sucked flat only to quietly hiss at me over a period of hours. Annoyingly it's the bags with the quilts, pillows etc.
B. TAG with ADOC and 2 rollitos.
L. My Deliciously Guilt Free stuff arrived - I had to have a bit Millionaire Shortbread. It's rather good. In fact it's so good I wanted another bar but I resisted for the time being.
D. I did some pork ribs with a dry chimichurri rub and had it with the remains of the cauliflower rice risotto which tasted even better than yesterday. I confess, another Millionaire shortbread.
Much later I had to try the lemon drizzle cake with a coffee.
I am glad to say no increase in BGs as a result of the pig out on deliciously guilt free. Not sure what the polyols will do to me though!
@shelley262 - last chance tomorrow to order the lemon drizzle as they are discontinuing it tomorrow. I ordered another 2 packs and I couldn't resist another 2 boxes of the Millionaire shortbread but this batch is heading for the freezer.
Welcome back to the other side @ianpspurs.
I'd just received my order when I noticed it so they must think I'm having quite a pig out to order another 4 boxes the day I receive my first order.Thanks for heads up re lemon drizzle got my order in just now!

@DJC3 would be disaster in my house if my coffee jug broke!
Was this the cafe @Goonergal & @Rachox were at and @Goonergal said they lacked fats?From here:

I am, so far, witholding judgement.
I have eaten one of the snickers bars, which was very soft and not at all snickers-like
and had a bite of the cinnamon roll, which is lovely and cinnamony, and kind of wholewheaty, although declared to be gluten free. It has made me very thirsty.
Will see what the others are like, but frankly, my body prefers meat nowadays. Sweet stuff and cakey stuff is no longer something that feels like food to me, which is a pleasant surprise. Rather like how my attitude changed to those stinky brassicas.
