Yup. It's a hug fest. Do join in.Can I join the party?
Well I for one am liking this thread. With all these exclusive threads being set up, and as a recent rediagnosis of LADA from Type 2, I would have felt like I didn't have a home! It's good to have somewhere just for diabetics whatever shade of D you happen to be!
I’m making some changes to my basal insulin at the moment and finding diabetes to be a real PITA. All hugs gratefully accepted. But I do have a shiny new red steel pen for my Tresiba, so that’s nice.
But in other news, husband brought home a baby cauliflower for 5p from the reduced counter in Asda last night, and it’s now marinating in soya yogurt, chilli sauce and tandoori spice for a roasting later. To go with a saag paneer (made with halloumi) and some cauliflower rice.
Woke up on a 6.3, so I count that as a T1 win
I just roast a large cauliflower to accompany curry, I think cauliflower rice is a waste of good cauliflower. I like the sound of the marinating, I will try that next time but what's wrong with normal yogurt?But in other news, husband brought home a baby cauliflower for 5p from the reduced counter in Asda last night, and it’s now marinating in soya yogurt, chilli sauce and tandoori spice for a roasting later

Fair enough, I can use normal yogurt then. I guess you must have to buy halloumi that is only sheep's or goat's milk.I’m allergic to cow’s milk is what’s wrong worth normal yogurt
I did try making paneer from goat milk, and the cheese itself was lovely, but too soft, and it just melted in the curry. Proper halloumi is made with sheep and goat milk, but most UK stuff contains cow’s milk as well. But, Waitrose do one that isn’t, so when I pass a branch (about once a fortnight), I grab a couple. Grated halloumi also makes an excellent crunchy coating for fish - egg wash it, coat in the cheese and pan fry it. Make some chips from turnip or celeriac, and you’ve got a pretty good fish and chipsOh that does sound yummy! I love a good Indian meal, and have just discovered that I can buy Paneer in Denmark, so no need to make it myself anymore.
You're allergic to cow's milk, but paneer is ok? Is it made with buffalo milk?
what do you want to know?@lucylocket61 been meaning to ask......could you explain your profile picture please?
It sounds as if you've got lots of good ideas I'd never even heard of halloumi till now. I wonder if you could buy a few more packets and stick them in the freezer? I know that you can do it with paneer.Grated halloumi also makes an excellent crunchy coating for fish - egg wash it, coat in the cheese and pan fry it.

It’s fab stuff. Together with paneer, it’s the only cheese I know of that doesn’t melt when it gets hot. I only buy one pack a fortnight because I’d eat waaaaaaay too much of it. It’s got a long date on, so I could buy more, but it’s also quite expensive. I also like frying chunks of it and having it for breakfast with sliced mushrooms and asparagus cooked in goat butter.It sounds as if you've got lots of good ideas I'd never even heard of halloumi till now.
