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

[gennepher]

Thank you for another fantastic creative to brighten our day and continue to share Diwali. Enjoy the cauliflower soup. Neither I, my dad nor granddad had any joy growing those in the Old Country - even in the scientifically mixed raised beds. Here's some bamboo flour recipes. @Krystyna23040 automatics are definitely the way to go. Cruise control - especially on motorways and in traffic is perfect.

Thank you Ian.
And thanks for the recipes, you have saved me a bunch of time...

At the Polish shop this morning there was a whole pile of new Polish foods, so I am using Google translate...

There was a bag of bamboo flour. After ascertaining it was ok for diabetics, I bought a bag. Now looking for recipes...

If you find any recipes, Gennepher, that don't involve sweeteners or almonds, would you share them? I have a big jar of bamboo flour that I don't know how to use.

I am looking through them now....

Ah, the sweet ones use sweetener. I never use any of those sweeteners of any kind, which is a bit of a pain...

I've checked the ingredients of Panda flour and it doesn't quite suit my daft digestive system but I think I can make my own by tweaking it a bit.

Thanks both Ian and Gennepher for those recipes, some of them look interesting.

I've ordered a couple of tins of monkfruit from Amazon to see if I can tolerate the actual fruit, although I can't take the sweetener produced from it. It happens sometimes - I can eat apple, but can't eat fructose made from it. That's just in terms of my digestion - diabetes has other considerations to take into account.

I've only once driven an automatic and I didn't like it. I suppose I might have got used to it had I continued but I must be some kind of control freak (ask my sons ) but I want to be in control of what the car is doing, not under the control of the car's computer.

There all automatics in States, you would soon have found how easy it was use one after you had been a veteran double declutcher in the UK.

6.5 on this picking up of the world's foliage Tuesday.
I have filled two wheelie bin and a black bag full, never mind the recycling bin is full, empty tomorrow!
Some of my plants won't recover and there is not much I can do with the grass at this time of the year.
However, underneath the layer of leaves, the first shoots of spring bulbs have started to come through.
But early, I know.
The rain has held off to allow the deleafing, I want to know who ordered debi?

Really weird dream again last night, not sure that I can describe the thing, but it was a vision of a scenic view overlooking the sea, just looking out, nowt else in view until a guy sat beside me and told me, something that would be important, of course, not knowing the meaning, I can but surmise.
I also wondered if anyone else has seen this, it would be a quote, I think of part of some literary work. I have not heard of fear it, I don't believe, it's new on me!

Must go, shopping and indoor chores to do.

Never liked Yorkshire puds.
Rather have Scouse pies, without the pastry of course!

It was always daft, the cost of automatic cars here in the U.K., A lot more expensive than the manual models.
And reverse in the states. In the late seventies, early eighties, it was odd to get an auto going past you on the line.
Far easier to drive an auto!

They have fuel considerations they are not usually as low fuel burn as non automatics.

Good morning everyone on a day of mystery and imagination down in the SW with my brother. I shall approach the day with verve. Not The Verve, not that bitter sweet symphony. Thankful for the railways folk for giving all veterans free rail transport over Remembrance weekend. I’m stocking up on dehydrated water, it’s all the rage as it keeps better than bottled and saves on plastic. Yorkshire puddings. My granny (a fully qualified Yorkshire lass who could trace her ancestry back to James Henry Atkinson, inventor of the little nipper mousetrap) used to make the batter in the morning and put it in the outhouse to keep it cool. Always made in very hot dripping in a large pan and under the roast (on Sundays). Sliced into squares or rectangles depending purely on whim, served with gravy and always before ‘dinner’. Leftovers eaten for tea spread with jam (none of your fancy syrup rubbish. Who do you think we are, The Rockerfellers?) Art bit, squiggle, squiggle. Have a marvelous Tuesday. Best dig out some koffy.

I guess that means its water produced in the process of dehydration. We used to produce quite a lot of deionised water for our large transmitters it kept the klystrons and large valves cool by vapour cooling.

I must admit, I did appreciate the more modern gearbox so I could stop double declutching. That was needed with out first car (a Morris Traveller) and the Jowett (dad's car). We still did with the Land Rover, although, I'm not convinced it was necessary, but Dad insisted and it was his Land Rover.

Austen Maxi was the first one we had that didn't need double declutching and we never looked back. My brother has had automatics since the 70's and he wouldn't go back. I want to change gear when I think the time is right, not when the car tells me.

Calling me what?
You would think a diety would be more courteous to a simple peasent like me!

Have never finished a cryptic crossword!

What is a klystron?
Gotta be something out of star trek, Dr who?

I think your Dad was right, we used to employ double declutching on Sandales long wheel base Land Rover, There was not synchromesh on all gears.

Twice in the last hour, we have had a deuge!
And now bright sunlight!
But the clouds are gathering from the North West.
Someone has washed my garden, maybe your diety Derek?

Its special high gain amplifier you can put one or two watts of TV transmitter power into and get 40 kW out.
It has four resonant cavities that are tweaked by the initiated to give the full bandwidth of TV transmitter signal.
They are are a cavity resonator.
Similar to a travelling wave tube and a linear accelerator.
Now they use modulation differently for digital output.

Until I read this I would unquestionably have agreed but now I guess it is more nuanced.

Dad taught us to drive bearing fuel economy in mind (one day when my brother was driving Dad said he was going too fast but Mum said "He's only trying to get home before we run out of petrol". Dad did not appreciate it but had to admit that the speed he was doing, in the gear he was using, would use less petrol. He still wanted him to slow down a bit.) Even back in the early 50's fuel prices were an issue. I remember Dad complaining bitterly when petrol price rose to 1/6d a gallon.

Nodding sagely. Understood every word.

Thanks Ian, one needs advice like that.

Klystron is from a Greek word that describes waves breaking on beach. Very analogous to what they do.

Broadcast Kystrons are c.2.2 meters long cooled by a water circuit and take time to dress and put in a truck to put in the transmitter

Klystrons in hospitals are smaller and produce an oscillator high power pump signal to speed up a beam to approaching the speed of light the electron beam within the tube to near the speed of light, and produces treatment collimated to treat patients with radiotherapy up to 20Mev.
Alternatively a tungsten target is swung in the way of the beam and it produces a beam of Xrays
C.12 MV or more or less. All collimated to treat the tumours in precise areas by a calculated depth dose by physicists.
If you know your physics like Alf you know it as breaking radiation or Bremstralung.
Its Einstein's equation about mass and acceleration in a practical application.
