Do you not like tomatoes? Do they not agree with you? Peppers would work well.

I can cope with small amounts, only if they have been well cooked. Raw or lightly cooked a definite no. So annoying as every catering establishment puts tomato on salad and lots of other things too.

1 slice whole wheat multiseed bread with thick layers of labneh (strained plain full-fat yogurt, I love it more than butter) and boiled egg.

Tues:
B egg and bacon, coffee & cream
L crispy bacon strips, chicken slices, coffee & cream
D fried chorizo sausage & bits of ham mixed into mixed salad - chicory leaves, raddichio, lettuce, celery, tomatoes, cucumber - I like it when this slightly warms the salad, more coffee & cream
Snacks - more of the bacon strips & some olives
A pint of PLJ lemon juice & water

I'm experimenting this week to see if only using cream instead of skimmed milk has any effect. I need to get back to the good ways and good BS I had before Christmas. Falling off the wagon then had a big impact and my BS slowly rose through Jan to March. I will get it back down.

We had chicken thighs marinated in soy and ginger, not a lot but enough to flavour , with a salad , celeriac chips ( now addicted ) and a pile of coleslaw.
