"What have you eaten" Parallel Chat

The thin pillow worked! I got a good sleep :happy:

I'm a bit foggy because I'm taking strong painkillers but I can't do much physically so it doesn't matter for the time being. I hope it will be better soon though.

Breakfast will be grilled feta cheese and tomatoes with a staffordshire oatcake fried in a beaten egg. I think tea will involve a skin-on chicken breast, cauliflower cheese, runner beans and possibly cooked/cooled/reheated rice (resistant starch hopefully). I do tend to change my mind halfway through the day though so we'll see!

Glad the thin pillow was helpful and helped you to sleep.

Oooh a Staffordshire oatckake! I wish, I wish. With or without the egg.

Breakfast: a tablespoon of walnut oil and some chaffle/pancakes. Coffee. So far the walnut oil hasn't worked - BG is 10.8.

2nd meal: the salmon I didn't have yesterday. I realised that there wasn't enough time before my Zoom meeting to cook and eat it, so just had some ham, some cottage cheese and some salad. Same today but with the salmon instead of the ham and cheese.
 
Food yesterday was a bit disjointed.

Breakfast was some ragout made with turkey mince - quite early in the morning because I was getting ready to go out.

My trip out was a bit of a disaster (I've gone over it in full on another thread, so won't go over it again) and I came home, hungry, late and exhausted. Instead of prepping my evening meal, I fell asleep over a cup of coffee and woke too late to cook and eat my meal before a Zoom meeting I'd promised to join. I got it into the oven by 6.45 but it wasn't cooked before the Zoom meeting so I turned the oven off. The meeting ended about 10 pm and I turned the oven on again. Had my meal about 10.45.

The meal was some shredded cabbage, blanched, topped with some more of the ragout and the whole lot topped with cheese sauce and baked. I'd intended to make the cheese sauce with double cream, but I didn't have any so had to use Greek yoghurt instead. Kind of moussaka but with cabbage instead of aubergine. It worked fine.
 
Late breakfast (about noon): cheese omelette and coffee.

BG started high - eating late probably did that - but has now come down into the 5's. I did take a smallish dose of insulin before breakfast.

2nd meal will be goujons of haddock, coated in coconut flour and fried in butter. Probably just with shredded iceberg lettuce.
 
I fasted until 1.30pm, then breakfast was 3 eggs with 3 staffordshire oatcakes and 50g cheese sprinkled over. I then had 2 small kitkats and some coffee. Unsurprisingly my BG is 10 an hour and a half later - I would normally be walking that off up and down the garden, but it's raining so I'm going to do a bit of housework if my knee isn't too painful (it's a lot better than it was at first).

For tea I'm planning fishcakes with cauliflower cheese and runner beans. I may have some very-not-low-carb scones afterwards. I have them with butter, a tiny blob of jam and a slightly larger blob of cream.
 
Three days on the bridge again, today was the first day.
The cheese fondue was on offer at Lidl so I fancied cauliflower with cheese fondue by way of cheese sauce. (Both a pack of cheese fondue and a cauliflower last me 3 days, perfect for a 3 day stint.)
Trouble is that it doesn't doesn't do well reheated in the microwave, it separates, and we only have a microwave on the bridge.

I feel rather proud of how I resolved this problem! :hilarious:
Had it with two small chipolata sausages, which I did reheat in the microwave. Acceptable.

Perfect! When cheese calls, we must answer!!

I'm having a "must get on with all the housework/decluttering/life laundry but can't get going" morning. My knee is still a bit painful so I should probably still be resting - it hasn't been a week yet. That's a reasonable excuse I think!

I'm going to update later on breakfast, I can't even decide that!
 
Had a rather large breakfast, but I'm still hungry. It was the last of the turkey ragout with a couple of eggs poached in it.

2nd meal will be chicken. I have a medium sized chicken which I will poach with some vegetables and then finish in the oven. Some of that will go with some French style peas. The rest will have to be used over the next day or so. Some may go into the freezer. I'll end up with some stock as well. Time to get out the big pot.
