Re: If you could have ANYTHING to eat right now, what would

I'm enjoying being in the 4s and 5s but yesterday, at a mini christmas gathering, I treated myself to two mini mince pies. It took my blood up to 7.1

That's nothing in the scheme of things but it still shook me. I want to stay in the 4s and 5s. It's 'friendly territory'. Getting into the 7s is like being in the wild west and those pioneers ended up with arrows in their backs.

I won't be dining in Dodge City again.

Does the title of this thread mean things you could have but don't have them to hand or because you won't eat them?

It means choosing your favourite foods but can't have them or don't them anymore because of your diabetes. Come on, what's yours then!

Cod and chips from the chip shop washed down with about 6 pints of Old T**ser bitter, possibly with a pack of Pork scratchings for dessert.

Oh, hang on a minute, thats what I am actually going to do tonight! It's carb loading day! Yay!

Hehehe, great!

I would LOVE a very large slice of chocolate log...an end bit....a mince pie with a little tot of brandy poured through the hole in the top and a slice of wonderfully drunken Christmas Cake. I haven't got a sweet tooth and neither do I tell fibs! ;)

Re: If you could have ANYTHING to eat right now, what would

well this is what I am having:

gruenkohl-platte-kasseler.jpg


Kale with pinkel, a coarse cut smoked pork sausage and kassler, a cured slightly smoked cut of pork. Some new potatoes boiled, and then quickly fried tends to be OK for me as long as I limit the number. So, rather than meat and two veg, its veg and two meats. Its a traditional northern european winter dish.

It's also best followed by a smokey single malt like lagavulin.

Crowds of people, my idea of hell would be a huge gathering of any sort!

Heights, scare me to death!
Liars, cheats. poseurs, any kind of violence, thieves and people who take advantage of others.

The way the world is going to hell in a handbasket.

Global warming, the melting ice caps, whaling..I mean what for?!

Cruelty

Having to give up my eat everything philosophy..and I really really dislike consequences.
Re: If you could have ANYTHING to eat right now, what would

Chocolate, all chocolate...any chocolate!

I had a friend who once said to me "You can eat loads more chocolate without feeling sick if you have really strong coffee with it!"

What a life we did used to live :wink:

Yeeeessssss.. Yeeesesssss... Yeeeesssss.. Chocolate. Right now I'd like to jump into a vat of chocolate. Break into Cadbury and get arrested for doing. That's what death by chocolate is, isn't t?
