try this recipe for the lemon curd, https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/keto-lemon-curd/ using lowcarb pastry it might be something you can have the lemon curd is pretty tastey i add a little bit extra lemon rind to it finely grated for a zestier flavour they have a lemon tart recipe too on that page
 
My FBG this morning was 4.83 mmol/L. I also received my fasting lipid panel results: total cholesterol 136, LDL 70, HDL 59, triglycerides 33. My PCP said the numbers are excellent. For what it’s worth, I eat plenty of boiled egg whites along with 2–3 egg yolks daily. Happy Christmas Eve!

nice news for pcp giving results nice wee early xmas pressie for you

what unit of measurements do they use where you are for trigs etc? :)
 
7.5 flipping eck fed up now. Asthma played up yesterday for the first time in 20 years. Didn't warrant my blue inhaler but had a few Halls soothers and it helped. Still in the 7s and just checked and was 8. Sat here feeling sorry for myself and not hungry just stressed!
 
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Yikes…it’s going to be bad. About 10 cm already and no signs of slowing.
5.8 today
Putting on my snow gear and going to tackle some of this mess….hubby and dog have been out already to do driveways (we are watching the neighbours house).

Oh, if I could, I would!
It’s kind of stopped now, just a few flurries. Total around 15 cm…maybe more. I shovelled for two hours then came in for lunch….where I continue to nurse a very good cup of tea. I need to go out again to reshovel, but it’s not too much.
Blood sugar wasn’t happy and went up to mid sixes the whole time I was out. Now I’m at 5.2
Merry Christmas to all

Breakfast then a wee walk around the block brrr 0 degrees outside but hey ho. setting up xmas pressies under the tree when back hopefully before daughter wakes up.

4:45am and no chance of getting back to sleep, will be going bed early tonight :) Off to relatives house miles away afterwards for xmas late lunch, im bringing my own food to prevent the upcoming carb fest alongside some allergy issues. Hopefully able to leave his early enough to catch the second last ferry home don't want to risk the last one incase its too busy and can't get back.

Thank you for the recipe, I do make low carb pastry
I’m not temped by anything sweet, we cheated & used ready rolled pastry & a jar of lemon curds, cooking with a little one is not easy
 
6.1 this morning. A winter wonderland outside and minus three…not too bad. Lazy morning, as it should be.
Son will stay home, too dangerous as he would have to travel the most dangerous highway….the dreaded Coquilhalla Highway. More snow forecast later today and tomorrow.
Out for a wonderful winter walk soon.
