I have to agree with that. At my post, blood draw face to face a month ago. She looked quite surprised when I refused to up my medication and told her 3 months of illness can be expected to increase slightly the HbA1c. My efforts are focused on decreasing meds, not increasing them. At least it...

I saw the chicken shawarma on the shelves last Saturday. There's the new one I mentioned as well, Asian Chicken Wings kebab. I love this time of year with M&S. There is just so much that is suitable for us. Admittedly, you have to watch some of the glazes, but it is good variety. Buffalo...

Wednesday 3 May bed 6.7 FBG 6.6. I now collect eldest a bit earlier on Wednesdays pre lunch. I also make their dinner on a Wednesday, so it's a busy morning. B. TAG and 2 slices of SRSLY toast with Tesco's Ploughman's Pate. Benecol dairy free. L. 8 almonds D. A bit of an invention test...

It's an aspic jelly on top, a sharp cheese centre, and a pate on the bottom. It's really nice tasted. First time I've seen it in Tesco, so I don't know if it is special for the Coronation or a new summer item. I'll look to see if there is any clarity on it next time I'm in (which is frequent...

Tuesday 2 May bed 7.9 FBG 7.5. @IBEX82 - that's one of the artisan rolls [emoji116] Back on the school runs. It was a bit of an effort to drag myself out this morning, but I got there. B. TAG and 2 slices of SRSLY toast with a new thing, Tesco Ploughman's Pate. Really tasty. L. 1/2 avocado...

There's a constant issue with the ferries. CalMac's fleet should have been replaced years ago. @Annb - glad to read you got your heating oil, though. Hubby was saying that yet another ferry that had just gone back into service has broken down again. Apparently, that's going to delay the MV...

I'm a fan of SRSLY products. I use their bread, artisan seeded rolls, fruit loaf, tortilla wraps, pizza bases, and pickle. Like @shelley262, I keep the bakery products in the freezer and remove them as I need them. The bread I have for toast mostly, but it is nice for sandwiches too. Today...

Monday 1 May- bed 7.6 FBG 7.4 - May, and we're still wearing jumpers! It's turned chilly again here. B. TAG and 2 slices of SRSLY toast with rare brisket and mustard. L. Another TAG and Prawn cocktail and 4 M&S Wheaten crackers D. I had 1/3rd of a Fulfil bar, and it made me feel queasy. Much...

Sunday 30 April - bed 7.1 FBG 7.2. Swimming lesson day. School holiday tomorrow - Yay! B. TAG and 2 slices of SRSLY toast with benecol spread and rare brisket with mustard. Benecol dairy free. L. Nothing D. Usual campari and soda. Another of the M&S summer range. Pork chop with lemon and...

Saturday 29 April - bed 7.6 FBG 6.9. That's DIL 's parents on their way back to the USA . An emotional day was distracted by the youngest having an early birthday party. It was a pool party, so this was the only date they could get. Son asked if I wanted to attend!! Eh, no thanks. We were out...

Friday 28 April - bed & FBG both 7.1. Last full day before DIL'S parents return to the USA, so it was very hectic. Son & I had to get to Costco first to pick up youngest's early birthday cake, plus a few other odds & sods. I've never tackled Costco that quickly before, and they'd moved...

This is the one I use. I must confess I do use more butter and cream than the recipe says, but it's a matter of taste. After the first 6 mins of microwaving, I give it a whizz with a stick blender. You won't get it smooth until after the second blast...

There's all sorts of permutations with cauliflower. I use it to make mash, I have turned it into suppli ( otherwise known as arancini) before. These are Italian stuffed rice balls, but I use cauliflower rice. Mozzarella always goes in, and then it varies. Pancetta? Mushroom? They are coated and...

Thursday 27 April - bed & FBG 7.6. BGs comIng well down during the day but sticking stubbornly in the 7's bed & FBG. @Annb Rosslyn is a fascinating place, and only about 20 mins from my home. It still gets very busy, and there were coaches galore when I was there during the week. Another busy...

We tend to order their bread, etc, in multiples. It has to be kept in the fridge or freezer. It has a life span in the fridge. What I tend to do is first, make sure I have space in the freezer, secondly, order 6 loaves, finally put 5 in the freezer, and keep one out for use that week. After...

TAG is just Tassimo Americano Grande - a big black coffee in simple terms. SRSLY is the new abbreviation for SLC - Seriously Low Carb. They've had a brand change. They are seriously good, low-carb bakers. I love their sliced bread and their artisan seeded rolls. They do quite a range of...

My grandson says the Guinea's bowl is very cool.

Wednesday 26 April - bed 7.9 FBG 7.8. I get my specs tomorrow! Yay!! No more cheap spec selection hanging around my neck. Usual school runs, then I took DIL & her parents to Rosslyn Chapel before heading back to collect eldest for lunch. B. TAG and 2 slices of SRSLY toast with ox tongue and...

You can see the scoring in mine. It's not through to the flesh, but it is quite deep.

Did you score, oil and salt the skin?
