What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

Good morning everyone from a far less measure of damp than yesterday here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of Heck sausages with cauliflower and beans - and the important slow cooked onion gravy came in at 5.4 this am - gotta love onion gravy - do something cheffy - add mushrooms to upset the purists.

All day rain yesterday - did we win the weather lottery? BJ has been watching Braveheart, cue dreadful accent, “The may take our masks, but they’ll never take our freedom.” In other news, call from paediatric surgeon yesterday afternoon - the girl in the bubble looks as if she is malingering with a badly bruised bone rather than a break - whatever that all means - so, mum and dad can take cast off in three weeks, no follow up and she can stand on it if she decides to - should be fun as the cast comes above her knee - I did suggest a Robert Newton extravaganza and the Monty Python parrot sketch.

Art bit - taken from a photo of Mrs Miggins and the girl in the bubble at our local park. Best get the bin out for the parade of the bin lorry - have a great day if you can, koffy.

Fbg 6.5

I expected that higher after the jab yesterday.

No reactions to it yet. I had none last time.

I was out at dawn taking photos. And there was a surprise in my garden....

You're welcome. Taste is personal so I hope you like the taste if you try. Ours have had a couple of days marinading - W.....se only have meaty ribs in summer. Pre match meal with LC tabbouleh ( Dr on Saturday Kitchen gave the idea) - cauli and brocc rice with fresh corriander, mint and basil here.

BBC News - Euros 2020: What all of us can learn from Gareth Southgate
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-57698821

Good enough for Plato, good enough for me.


Day off.....:D


And wide awake :arghh:

Maybe I'll be tired later on..:wacky:


Steak and brocolli, mushrooms for dinner, lovely

And a few cheeky beers to wash it down as I watched the foot the ball......;)

And WHAT a game .WOW.:wideyed:

Cracking football match

So a 6.7 seems about right..:rolleyes:

And on to tonight's game
Be watching with the missus :happy:
A few low carb snacks, & i noticed a low carb beer in the news, so might try and find that and give it a go...all in the name of research, of course ;)


And a day of frivolous idleness, with maybe a wee job or two squeezed in, if I can be bothered.

Might need THAT energy for celebrating.:happy:

C'Mon ENGERLUND .:D

These are low carb - very woke though. You may need a designer beard or younger person with you to vouch for your bona fides. There may be some in a fridge in Forest Heath:)

Pleased for you that you did not get a reaction to the jab. Smashing art, all those fabulous dawn colours and the added bonus of Popeye and his hoot owl pal.

Yes, Southgate has a great team with him - too many similar minds tend to not only think inside the box but focus only on the top right hand corner because there is a teeny crack there letting in light. Low carb beer - let us know - marks out of 10 for LC qualities and taste - my last low carb beer experiment nearly lasted one gulp before mysteriously disappearing down the plug hole.

I must give them a whirl - did you find them in W’’’se or order online?

Both. I also found some in a fridge after No1 son had swept through the house like a 6' 4". 18 stone whirling dervish. Some trick that. This is T''co's range from online. This may also help. Good news about GIB and great art once again.
 
And cheers for linkage, @ianpspurs

Sadly I'm an old unreconstructed purist.

Alcohol free, lemonade surely
;)
I'm more of the royal family dad in my response to it.

Alcohol free & meat free meat...
Work of the Devil..:wideyed::yuck:

As my father in law, the Bluntest man I know at times, puts it

"Like scratching your bits with rubber gloves on..utterly pointless "

Don't always see eye to eye, but when I do..:D:)

Have a good one.

@dunelm ..if I find some, rest assured I'll post a review.

And yep, I think I may have fared little better then you with my first foray into sh ..lager that was alcohol free/LC

But willing to take one for the team, once more,
;):D

I keep meaning to ask - did you try the chia seed protein powder yet?

Yes thank you. Mix it in with my "porridge" - 50 gms flaxseed, 2 tsps of this, 2 tsps inulin, 130 gms warm water, 170 gms Fage 0%, 30-34 gms raspberries, Yes, I weigh it all to the gm. Also may or may not set an Alexa alarm for 10.48 and 30 secs for prep time;) I'm a slap happy sorta guy like that.
 
Sainsbury's stock Nanny State. Interestingly, the craft beer loving son thinks Brewdog is very acceptable. Pre LC I liked American and French/Belgiun beers. Kinda stopped drinking beer once I gave up team sport - no giants emptying watering cans in my glass or me buying them for runs/wickets/.tries. I know these work for some. This is interesting
