Hi All like the sound of the celeriac dauphinoise though the cream would be an issue. I very much like mashed swede and mashed celeriac but cutting them up is almost impossible. After fighting with the last swede for 15 mins it ended up in the bin! Waitrose do frozen celeriac “pellets” but I wish the supermarkets sold chunks of both veg like they do with butternut squash. Yesterday I had lunch out with friends and had chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce with salad. Coffe after though I think they gave me cappuccino which would be too carbs probs instead of flat white. It didnt seem worth making a fuss at the time. In the evening I had 8 mini mestballs in chilli sauce and some green beans. This mornings FBG was the worst ever so either I ate too much yesterday or there were more carbs than I realised
Today usual brekkie HiLo toast and lots of tea. Worked in the garden in morning helping Mr PM seed a large area behind the heathers. Lunch was small plate ham salad with a few pickled onions. Supper will be chicken & pepper stir fry in Teriyaki sauce and green beans.

For really hard veg, I have one of these knives - although, not this actual knife. It has zero flex on the blade, so goes through swede and celeriac no trouble, without feeling too risky.

If hubby is unavailable I use a Chinese cleaver too I do have the added advantage of the slicing attachment on my Kenwood but the slices are a bit small (although the dicing attachment will get an airing this week as my Italian tripe recipe will be done again).

I have 2 traditional style Chinese cleavers, which I rarely use but Neil brought one with him when he moved home which is made in the same way as the big, heavy ones, but the blade is much narrower. It is useful for hard to cut vegetables.

2 fried eggs on toast this morning. Not sure that there will be anything else today, other than tea. Oh, of course, I forgot, a glass of pink grapefruit juice. I didn't have grapefruit in any form while I was on statins but now I'm off them, I realised that I could, so I got Neil to buy me a carton.

Ann, grapefruit interacts with more meds than just statins. This NHS page mentions a few: https://www.nhs.uk/common-health-qu...inking grapefruit,the effect the medicine has.

Thanks for the advice. But I've checked them out and none of the medicines I now take are affected by grapefruit. Not that I'll be having it very often. Not sure how many carbs are in grapefruit, but there are some, so still need to be avoided.

You're correct there! I've now got eldest Grandson back to teach They got through this morning with another teacher but the other senior class was told not to cone in, and now his class is home too. They're dropping like flies! He told me he's not worried about Covid now because he had it at Christmas and has had his first jab.

Food today bed 6.8 FBG 6 4

B. TAG and a M&S Wheaten cracker with salmon mousse.

L. Another 3 crackers with salmon while grandson was eating lunch and I was multi tasking sorting out a writing practice lesson.

D. Liver, bacon, fried egg and a mix of spinach/mushrooms/santini tomatoes. Currently drinking coconut milk and sorting out Maths revision for tomorrow.

At least the holidays start on Friday so they have 2 weeks for everyone to recover and get back to "normal".
