Type 1'stars R Us

Hello on this lovely Somerset morn. Only a couple more days until the Glastonbury Festival goers start their annual invasion and the roads will be manic for a day or two. @Knikki glad to see you survived your chocolate free night. I found a bar of Green&Blacks 70% which had been lurking in the fridge since Christmas so I had a few pieces of that - the rest of it is now back in the fridge waiting to be liberated again when I remember it’s there!
 
Just got back from M&S and Sainsbury's. Not too sure about the Plant Life range from M&S but some of the veggies looked nice.

Got more miso paste at Sainsburys - very much needed for quick mugs of miso & noodle soup (not too many noodles, so not that carby). Nice quick pick me up.

Now - brekkie is being cooked, and after that, it's a beautiful day out there and I don't need to think about cooking until after lunch. (I need more parmegan, and want creamy coconut & garlic mushrooms with dinner tonight).

You can chuck in some soft silky tofu into the miso soup with some asian veggies. ;)

In a mug? If it's little little cubes? I usually have it as a home made cuppa soup. Be a lovely bowl of soup though.

Oooh - I got some coconut chocolate oat milk from M&S - scrummy!

Silky tofu breaks really easily so you can cut up very small cubes. I hope its a huge mug though Coconut chocolate milk? Oooo, sounds scrummy indeed. :)

Always take it with you, especially as you never know when the food will arrive at a barbecue! Edited to add - and then you’ve got the freedom to stay a bit longer if you’ve got it on you and won’t need to rush home. Don’t forget your testing kit either, and be aware that there may be a lot of sugar in the dressings and sauces.

Exactly as @Mel dCP has said.
Location, shouldn’t be a factor on injecting.
In the course of time then the timing of injecting will be something you can dabble with but not yet:)

Take Insulin with you. Type 1 is a learning curve, I am still learning 30 years on, but you will get there.
Have a great time at the BBQ :)
 
Hugs to hypo-ing friends!!

Cooking done, and sat with mug of flat leaf parsley & thyme tea. (Bought a tiny teapot with a filter basket, so I can make tea with any fresh herbs now).
