We only eat basmati or brown rice/pasta anyway always have, but I do enjoy a nice risotto, now need to find brown risotto rice, apparently it is out there somewhere! It was a lesson I learned afterwards, I'm just scrutinising everything I eat now. It's going to be tough over Christmas and I...

Worked again for 2nd day in a row, so fingers crossed I've cracked the breakfast issue. I had 2 post evening meal spikes the other day, but I'm almost 100% sure that I know why. Sundays Stew was a big portion, totally out of habit I piled on the veggies, potatoes, beef etc but it probably was...
