Odd but good day today.
Yesterday was an odd but bad day because a friend had died. Expected, but not expected so soon and sudden, and it threw me off more than I expected. Will need to compose a touching yet funny speech for her funeral on tuesday, the best funeral speeches are the ones that make us both cry and laugh.
Yesterday was also the last day of making do with whatever was left in my cupboards after a week of isolating.
So evening meal was a low carb wrap with egg mayo with a little of the Branston pickles I brought from the UK for flavour, fried and raw onion (the only vegetable left in the house), some grated parmesan, and the last of the amazing giant English bacon rashers I still had in the freezer.
I'll miss that jar of Branston pickles when it's gone!
Today was an odd but good day.

Rough start with annual blood draw so no morning coffee.
Grocery shopping right after the blood draw, so I felt pretty smug I thought of bringing a pot of coffee, carton of milk and a mug with me so I could at least have my coffee before braving the supermarket!
Arrived back home at the same time as my best friend and her two sons (9 and 11) and nephew (14). We live too far apart so we don't see eachother nearly enough, having them over for a kitten playing session was great!
She brought lots of goodies: a red spicy cheese, a green pesto and fenugreek cheese (had a green and a red cheese cracker for lunch) a black pepper cheese, and best of all, a low carb chocolate cake!
After all that I was too tired to cook, so I had an early meal of a slice of low carb bread with the rest of the egg mayo and bacon, and a late meal of another cracker with bright green cheese and a dessert of chocolate cake.

Looking forward to finally having my favourite midnight snack of chicory and hummus again later on, haven't had it for a week, thanks to covid.
Friend and children are spending two days in a holiday home nearby, so tomorrow we'll go to the pool, and after that we'll make a fire in the garden with my christmas tree (and a smoke bomb my neighbour made).
Here's the recipe for the chocolate cake, just use egg white instead of sugar to make the bottom stick, works very well:
