I'll get some artisan sourdough next week and make the same sarnie again to see if there's any difference. I'll post the results. Along with another picture!

Chunky egg mayo. I love it.

I thought I'd risk it... ;) My pre-meal numbers have generally been 4.5-5.0 ish. But I don't test that often now. Which reminds me, I should use up my remaining Libre. The bacon was very nice. There was no butter on the bread, but I did dip it in the bacon fat.

Sourdough is definitely better than ordinary supermarket bread. Although generally no bread is healthy for diabetics.

For today's evening meal I made corned beef hash, with corned beef (obviously), red onions, cauliflower rice, black and white pepper, plus a tomato, with a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce, and served it with garden peas. It was surprisingly nice.

Well, after my sourdough bacon sarnie, I was 4.7 before eating, and 6.9 two hours later. Okay to have, just not too often. Picture posted here because I'd probably get banned from the Low Carb forum, where I normally post pictures of my food... ;)

That trout looks gorgeous. In fact, the whole meal looks incredibly healthy and tasty!

Sourdough is the only bread I eat now, though not much of it. I like the artisan house sourdough from a local bakery, but I only have dark rye sourdough from a supermarket (Aldi) which is quite nice. I'll be doing a sourdough bacon sarnie later, so I'll do a before and after blood glucose test...

I don't have a takeaway every Friday, but tonight I fancied one. So I had tandoori chicken shashlik, with a side salad. I've never had that before but it was lovely. @LivingLightly The red colour comes from Masala sauce, apparently, which includes some red food colouring.

For my tea tonight I cooked a sirloin steak, with mushrooms and cauliflower & broccoli. I didn't realise the steak was so thin, so will make sure I look properly next time. But I did enjoy it.

Mine were from Aldi, @Rachox, but that looks lovely. I miss sprouts, but I'd forgotten that I've got some in the freezer. But you can't beat fresh.

@shelley262 Let us know what the Welsh meats are like. They look delicious, as does your (cold) chicken dinner.

For lunch I finished off the tub of Greek yoghurt (which expired today) mixed with a chopped up Braeburn apple. For dinner I kept it simple: just bacon, mushrooms and mixed veg.

Didn't feel like cooking tonight. Though I did make a cheese and mushroom omelette for lunch. So this evening I had half a tub of Greek yoghurt, some (bought) chicken breast, and a small packet of pork scratchings. I did spread the chicken out on a plate, and sprinkled it with black pepper, so...

That looks lovely. I've had bought chicken shawarma, and also made it myself. I think I prefer my own, even though it may not be authentic.

What a fabulous-looking spread! I love day old, cold chicken breast.

It was a case of didn't feel like, and it was a bit hot. I did have a CKM a while ago, but never got very high readings. I guess I won't be a hybrid any time soon. The sauce was easy; just mayo, ketchup, lemon juice and a bit of smoked paprika. It was lovely. And I'm still not hungry six hours...

No cooking today. I didn't feel all that hungry, so just did some prawns with a home made Marie Rose sauce, with a couple of tomatoes and boiled eggs.

You put me to shame, @shelley262. That spread looks lovely. Feeling a bit deflated today, I had a red salmon sourdough sandwich earlier. I can't seem to get my artisan sourdough. They always seem to run out. So I got some from Aldi. But they didn't have the one I like. So I got the seeded...

I didn't, no, @LivingLightly. It could have done with more cheese, though. I did enjoy it, mind.
