I remember when on honeymoon in Poland, (many, many years ago) it was an education how food was reused the next day as something that looked, and tasted totally different. We were staying with various friends of my mother. I remember when they taught me how to make Borscht, I always thought the...

Wednesday 19 April bed 7 FBG 6.7. In between making butter chicken, I ended up assisting eldest with homework, which was a mix of computer skills and English. Thankfully, I can do multiple things at once, and he did finally "get" where I was coming from. B. TAG, and a good bit later, Ayrshire...

Tuesday 18 April - bed 7 FBG 7.6. I reckon @DJC3, I have mastered the art of crispy skin on the sea bass now. Funny, a few years back, there was no way I'd eat the skin on a fish. Now I reckon crispy skin is delicious. How our tastes change. A visit to the butcher was necessary today. I needed...

I feel your pain! I've had weeks with various types of specs hanging around my neck until I can get the reactive/anti glare/reading/nothing all in one! 1 week on Thursday....not long.

Monday 17 April bed 7.7 FBG 7. Busy day - ironing can wait until tomorrow. B. TAG and 2 slices of SRSLY toast with whipped cheese. Benecol Peach. L. 1 inch (yes, I do mean that) of a fulfil bar. I find them far too sweet. Tried a Benecol Dairy free that arrived with my shopping. Really nice...

I certainly couldn't last week after my tumble! Back to normal today, though. Up at 7am, shower, wash hair, got No 1 to school for 8 30am, then collect No 2, get him to school, straight to physio for a torture session [emoji16] (it was fine really), back home, took delivery of shopping, just...

I think you'll find the answer varies depending on what your body tells you. Initially, I was told by the diabetic nurse that 120g of carbs daily was good. If I'd gone with that, I reckon I'd be on insulin as that was way too high for me. I try to aim for 20 to 30g of carbs daily now. Some days...

I've just added a "Store Cupboard Soup" to my CMT. Recipe below. This is one that is definitely open to additions/change. It's a Nigella recipe, and it just so happens I love spinach and coconut milk. I reckon a number of greens would work in this, and I noticed the suggestion of adding cooked...

Sunday 16 April - bed 7.2 FBG 6.6. I must admit, I am looking forward to getting back to the gym and my swimming/aqua classes. Not long now. B. TAG and 2 slices of SRSLY toast, 2 slices of back bacon, and another double yolk egg. L. Benecol drink. D. Usual campari and soda. Mussels in a...

Saturday 15 April - bed 7.8 FBG 7.4. Up early today. Hubby off to football, but they took a hospitality package. That means when I collect him again, he'll probably just fall asleep at home [emoji2955]. Away by 9.05 am. to get him there, and I had my shopping done & home by 10.30 am! B. TAG, 2...

It is indeed autocorrect @Annb ! Friday 14 April bed 7.2 FBG 7.8. Meant to say, at GP visit yesterday, I was also told all organ function is absolutely fine. Just have to focus on getting the HbA1c back to usual levels and reducing the LDL /increasing HDL. B. TAG and 2 slices of SRSLY toast...

They can fly happily in the drawer then with no chance of escape [emoji1]. When it comes to freezing the tortillas, I separate them with greaseproof. I discovered this with SRSLY Pizza bases. They are impossible to separate when frozen unless you separate them. I keep them in the same bags, but...

[emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]I never even noticed that! Tabasco!!

It's a Diet Doctor recipe (but with my usual additions!) - spinach, a few santini tomatoes, mushrooms, touch of tobacco, black pepper. Nothing problematic. It is very tasty, and it's even better 2nd day. I was highly delighted with my eye results. Even the bloodshot bit is finally starting to...

I used to fry tortilla triangles in Olive Oil to go with chilli. I haven't tried it with the SRSLY Mediterranean tortilla, but the texture is very tortilla like. In an air fryer, do you have the oven type or a drawer version? I was having a nice little memory revival with @AndBreathe a few days...

Thursday 13 April - bed 7.9 FBG 7.2. Post-operative check today, and everything is fine. 20/20 vision in both eyes for distance, lenses bedded in, and pressure is down to 17! I was delighted with that. The left eye is still bloodshot where they injected the eye, but he had a good close look...

Wednesday 12 April - bed & FBG both 7.8. I ventured out today. I still kept my ankle strapped, but I managed to get some necessary shopping with no mishaps. B. TAG and a bit crustless quiche. L. CC Little chocolate pot. D. DD cauliflower chicken alfredo with the addition of mushrooms and...

I have to say the SRSLY tortillas do actually have the texture of tortillas. I've never managed to get the DGF wraps yet. For quesadilla, I have no doubt either would work. Tuna is certainly not a usual quesadilla filling, but I didn't see any reason why it wouldn't work. It was very, very...

I've got a kind of McMuffin on my CMT , which is very Macci D.

Monday 10 April - bed 7 7 FBG 7.9 Still strapping the ankle during the day, but it is improved. Not going to venture out just yet. B. TAG and a bit crustless quiche. L. 6 almonds. D. Cold cuts. Ox tongue, chicken breast, roast pork, pork and egg, and some bits of what remains of yesterday's...
