Just black coffee this morning.
Lunch was leftover duck breast and h/m coleslaw with sugar free jelly afterwards. This is just tickling my sweet tooth though so I think I’d be better off without.
Dinner https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/kristies-chicken-philly-cheesesteak-casserole/servings/6 which is a very typical DD keto meal. Rich, cheesy, creamy and delicious. Green salad leaves with it.

Breakfast: Cullen Skink - the dyed fish was fairly tasteless, as expected but it was still a satisfying meal. Same amount left over for tomorrow.
2nd meal: a version of huevos rancheros - a bit less spicy than the original recipe, but it suits me. I used some of the Aleppo pepper that I bought online a week or so back. Quite a nice, gentle heat.
Lots of cooking today - weekend veg soup - about a litre and a half, now in the freezer; a large tray of chicken and vegetable bake now in 6 plastic trays in the fridge, waiting to get access to the freezer - Neil's working on a desktop for himself in the back porch/utility so I can't open the freezer door.
Wondering whether to try to get an appointment with the opthalmologist. I have had a sore eye, which Neil thinks is infected and which is affecting my vision but when I was about to phone, I realised that it had actually improved since this morning, so I didn't bother. We'll see how it is tomorrow. A bit sore and gritty at the moment. No doubt it will have sorted itself out by the time I get an appointment.

L: 90 second bread roll (knew the marscapone pot would come in useful) with cold beef and olives. Coffee mousse
D: another pub meal lamb shwarma with yoghurt dressing on a cabbage salad. Very tasty and I left most of the flat bread it arrived on. Glass of red.
I'm injured and its too stressful trying to direct hubby how to cook (which includes how to turn the oven on) as well as directing him doing everything else. Off to family tomorrow so he can have a break and we can both be waited upon.
Not sure what my waistline is going to be after all this eating out and takeaways but at least the libre has helped me keep bg in check (mostly)

Usual bacon and omelette for breakfast, same old, but it's low carb and quick and filling to cook and eat.
Pea and ham soup for lunch, glass of lemon cordial with a scoop of OsmoLax mixed in.
Lamb fore quarter chops, veggies and gravy for dinner.

Hi All
Back to Sunday. Had my usual slice HiLo toast and tea breakfast. Lunch was in a lovely pub garden with both sons and DIL to be to celebrate Mr PM’s birthday. I had roast chicken with the spuds and Yorkshire swapped for extra veg. It was a lovely occasion and everyone enjoyed it. In the evening I just had some Rollitos with a gin & soda.
Monday yesterday same brekkie. Lunch was some rare sliced roast beef from a pack with a smidge of Horseradish and a spoon of coleslaw. Supper was shredded Peking duck with green salad.
Today just had my usual brekkie. Going for a long walk by the coast this morning with Mr PM. Lunch will be frugal salad bits from the fridge. Supper will be tomato & basil omelette. Still having awful FBG might pop on my spare Libre though I seem to be in freefall whatever I do atm.
I have been mulling over making ice cream mixing Fage yogurt with frozen berries but I would just like my BG to behave better first.

I came across this snack pack of nuts in Lidl yesterday. It’s a clear copycat of a similar Graze product, but far cheaper and also in my view, far more tasty too! Very handy for carrying around. 3.6g carb per box.

Breakfast: the remaining Cullen Skink. I had it cold because I didn't want to reheat the cream that was in it. Not bad at all.
2nd meal: will be more of the huevos rancheros but this time with the addition of some pork sausage patties or balls. .
Phoned the fish shop this morning and they say that Neil can take the car in and drive along the harbour wall - he just has to explain to the people on the gated entrance that he is going to the fish shop. Simple when it comes to it. The fishermen all have their own pass, and are recognised anyway, so the barrier is automatically raised for them, but there is, apparently, someone there to operate the barrier when necessary. Neil's busy today, so we will have to try it out next Tuesday.

I'm going to have a go at making something similar to this - it has ingredients I can't take and, we don't have a Lidl on the Island anyway. I've looked at Graze products, hoping to find something to use as a snack, but none of them are suitable. Worth having a go myself.
Yes, I imagine it’d be pretty easy to re-create.
Dinner tonight was a bit experimental, but successful.
Having never before a) had fish in an omelette or b) had an egg white omelette, I tried both at once as I used up some leftovers.
Made the Diet Doctor cheese crusted omelette using 1 whole egg mixed with 3 egg whites leftover from the ice cream making a couple of days ago. The filling was leftover sea bass from the weekend. Was pretty good and far too big - couldn’t finish it.
Lunch had been at Nando’s - sitting outside in the sun after returning an item to Ikea and a walk along the Thames to get there. Half a plain chicken (minus the driest bit of the breast), Halloumi and a side of broccoli.
Success of dinner means the ‘backup’ air fried chicken wings will be a packed lunch tomorrow

I love that cheese crusted omelette too @Goonergal, but I’ve never had a fishy one either.
Today I had breakfast of fried eggs and spinach in an effort to stop the inexorable rise in BG. Didn’t work, I was over 7mmol before 9 am and stayed there until nearly 4pm
Lunch was leftover DD Philly cheesesteak thing from yesterday.
Dinner another DD recipe https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/keto-salmon-cowboy-sauce/servings/3 I wasn’t sure about this sauce, it sounds and looks a bit odd but actually worked really well with the salmon.
Last of the s/f jelly. No more puds for a while.

It was pretty good. And being mainly egg whites seemed to make the omelette fluffier too.

Usual bacon and cheese omelette, tomatoes for breakfast.
Couple of low carb protein bars for lunch, chocolate brownie and a chocolate mint on, bit expensive though.

And an added bonus of a high PE value
Even with a shedload of cheese it came out at 1.5 (guessed quantities of fish/cheese).

This is probably a daft question, but what is PE value? I only know it as a financial reckoning of the value of a company (price/earnings value or ratio).
Hungry day today, so it will be 3 meals.
Breakfast: 2 sausage meat patties and 2 fried eggs.
Lunch: Egg mayonnaise
Dinner: will be some of the chicken vegetable bake I made the other day. That's if I eat it - feeling a bit nauseous again this afternoon - maybe too much egg mayo.
