"What have you eaten" Parallel Chat

This is just cheese - not sure what Christmas cheese might be. I had these today.
Ogden Yorkshire cheddar
Snowdonia Black Bomber
Yorkshire Blue
Delice de bourgogne
Taleggio
Eldwick Brie

I can also recommend Felstone and Stonebeck.

Definitely trying the black bomber one and for my missus the brie. Cheers.

The Great Divide in this country is between mayo and tomato ketchup! I like mine with mayo

Once as a student the only condiment we had in was the fancy new fangled sweetcorn relish someone had bought so it was that on the fish finger sandwiches - it was absolutely gorgeous! I don't tend to keep that in though so it's mayo all the way for me

Porridge for breakfast, out to lunch again and although I'm famous for always ordering fish and chips, the menu at this place looks amazing so I might try something else. Tea will depend on how I feel later, but there's chicken in the fridge so it will probably be that.

Hope everyone has a good day!

My Panda Flour monthly subscription delivery arrived yesterday and I always get a freebie of a new mix to try. This month's is Welsh cakes so will be trying them later - they look easy to make but @DJC3 has reported back on other thread that they are moreish so will have to freeze the majority asap! There is also a new recipe for Apple and cinnamon muffins - maybe tomorrow?
Curry planned tonight but I must also do a freezer audit later to make sure nothing older lurking in there that should be used up over the next week. Probably poached egg for breakfast and cheese with nuts for lunch.
Wishing everyone a good Saturday - let's hope the skies brighten once the mist clears.

Overnight oats with banana for breakfast. There will be tea shortly but not feeling like it just now.
2nd meal will be roasted cauliflower cheese with chickpea orzo pasta.

Swimming again today, increased the amount of lengths once more, then evening in front of the TV!
Dinner was the other half of yesterday’s low carb pizza with coleslaw.

Can anybody recommend some Christmas cheese to try ?

My favourite is Wensleydale with cranberries! Yum.

Ooh, I haven't had sweetcorn relish for ages! Must look for it next time I'm in Tesco.

Breakfast was a boiled egg with paté soldiers (wholemeal seeded bread); lunch was our main meal as we were out this evening at a concerta at our church - I came away at the interval as I wasn't enjoying it and also wanted to watch the Royal British Legion Ceremony of Remembrance, which I always watch each year. Anyway, lunch was 1/2 a sausage ring with mashed potato, sprouts, broad beans and home-made ketchup, followed by a small scoop of honeycomb ice-cream with a little cream. Early supper was a bacon, avocado and tomato sandwich on seeded sourdough followed by kefir and stewed plums. And I regret to say that there was a slice of almond-flour chocolate cake at the concert, which I ought not to have had, but was so good I don't regret it!!!

My next 6-month supply of Ascend Plus pills arrived today, so they have put me back on the trial.

I had curry at lunch and it was really good, quite a big portion too. I just had a chicken salad for tea, and I think it'll be an early night then hopefully a good day in the garden tomorrow, planting the softneck garlic and some autumn onion sets that will be used as small/spring onions early next spring.

Fog this morning - sadly it didn't clear yesterday but hoping it does today. Really need to get out into the garden for a tidy and fill my garden recycling bin as only two more collections this season.
Made the panda flour Welsh cakes yesterday and they are definitely too moreish. In fact I decided not to put any in the freezer and share them over next few days! My free pack instructions were that it made six but I must have rolled out more thinly as I got 8! Ate the three that fell apart a bit while cooking between the two of us - five left for next few days!

I think I'll leave making the new Panda Apple and cinnamon muffins for a few days!
Cooked breakfast planned this morning of sausages and scrambled eggs, probably cheese and nuts for lunch and steak for dinner. I've dug out some stuff from the freezer that needs using this week.

They look delish @shelley262 - I would definitely have a hard time keeping my hands off them too!

Granola for breakfast with a few pecans, a very few bits of chopped dates and currants. Lunch will be an egg salad and tea will likely be chicken and vegetables.

It's misty here too but not too bad, I'm going to get in the garden.

Remembrance Sunday, and I was preaching so came home with a goody-bag (which they do at this church, my home church) full of fruit, plus some popcorn, which I have given to my husband, and a packet of 2 shortbread biscuits, which I have eaten!

Breakfast was eggy bread (sliced seeded wholemeal) with a slice of Maasdam cheese; lunch was carrot and tomato soup (home-made), with 1/4 sausage spiral and a hunk of cheese on a slice of buttered seeded sourdough bread, a small scoop of coffee ice-cream and the aforementioned biscuits. And I have just had a bite of my husband's chocolate brownie, which was good, but not as nice as the flourless cake I had last night - not tempted to have more than the one bite with my tea!

Supper is going to be ham hock with parsley sauce and vegetables, and probably followed by kefir with stewed plums as I don't think we've anything else, unless we decide the pineapple is ripe enough to eat.

Walked home from Church this morning and that will do me for exercise for today.

"We will remember them"!

Yesterday was breakfast of yog, seeds and blackberries made the day before.
Then resisted temptation of all the cakes at village coffee morning.
L was bacon sandwich in the heylo bread I don't like
D was salmon fillets with a few oven chips and buttery leeks made into a sauce by adding cream. Plain boild courgettes to complete colours and textures. All very tasty.

Today was small piece of cheese before hours walk with friend. Tried to stay empty to better enjoy lunch but failed and had 1 slice heylo cinnamon raisin bread.
Walked 40 minutes up hill to pub.
Roast beef, gave Yorkshire to hubby, left potatoes. 1 glass white wine. 1 Scotch while the menfolk had puddings.
When home made an lc mug cake as was still hungry

About 6 had 4 seed crackers with pate.

Had breakfast just before 03.00 because I am due for my endoscopy at 09.00 and have to fast for 6 hours before that. Couldn't keep BG at a reasonable level for all the hours from supper to whenever I get back to the ward and can eat/drink again. Just made it RyVita with ham and some tea. It should be enough but BG is already in the 6's so it may not go well.

2nd meal is uncertain - depends on how I feel after the endoscope has done its worst.

Will be thinking of you @Annb hope all goes well.

For dinner I have put some pork steaks in lemon juice, oil and herbs to marinate today before I cook them - to give some extra flavour as they have been in the freezer for a while and pork can be affected if stored too long I find. Will have with veggies. Quick breakfast today of LC granola and may use up one of my short date keto packet mushroom soups for lunch.

Granola for breakfast, and I made the celeriac soup yesterday (it's really good) so that will be for lunch and chicken with vegetables for tea.

Very foggy this morning and cold! I must get the softneck garlic in today, planting in containers, and I got some senshyu onion sets quite cheap so I'll plant those now and use them as spring onions and small bulbs early in the spring. Also need to fill up the garden bin for collection on Weds, I had decided not to renew my subscription but then changed my mind.

Thinking of you @Annb x

Thinking of you, @Annb.

We did have 1/2 the pineapple for supper pudding last night, and have half left. It had gone slightly over, but was still good.

Breakfast has just been overnight oats (and chia seeds) with frozen fruit mix, banana, kefir yoghurt and nuts-in-honey. Not sure about the other meals; I probably ought to go to Lidl, but haven't got dressed yet! Must rectify that at some stage - I can scarcely go out in my nightie!

Thanks all for the good wishes. It went OK but I'd rather have a colonoscopy any day than an endoscopy. No sedative, just an anaesthetised throat. They found a stomach ulcer that I was totally unaware of. As a result, they want to have another look in about 5 weeks to see how it is doing.

Nothing tomorrow but a CT scan on Wednesday.

That might explain some of your discomfort and difficulties, so hopefully treating it will mean you'll feel a lot better - here's hoping!

I got the garlic planted, just the onion sets to go in now. I had a really good day in the garden, hoping for the same tomorrow!

Yesterday was a lazy Sunday binge watching Netflix stuff. Today usual shop at Tesco then coffee at the local garden centre. Hubby picked up his usual scone with clotted cream and jam, we ordered the coffees and the cashier pointed out it was two scones for the price of one just now. In a weak moment we accepted and I had a whole scone, rather than just a slice off hubby’s! Blood sugar topped out just short of 8 which was a relief but has been hovering around 6 since which is high for me. I’m a bit anxious about my spine MRI results which are now marked on line as pending til Wednesday, so fingers crossed I can read them then.
Dinner tonight I kept pretty low carb in view of my scone transgression! Bacon muffins with carrots and runner beans.
