"What have you eaten" Parallel Chat

Breakfast was 2 Cumberland sausages with 2 fried eggs. Coffee.

2nd meal was going to be something with minced beef but I didn't have the energy and just threw some more sausages into the oven and had a sausage sandwich (small slices of white bread).

No baking today. Neil found another box of papers to be sorted out, along with some photo albums which must have been my father's - I'd never seen them before. Also there was a pile of Tom's record books from his voyages (dates, times, navigation records and so on) - I'll have to go through them.

Just had toast for breakfast today - 2 very small slices of white bread - with lots of butter. Just felt like it - no very good reason. Coffee.

Minced beef to be made into something. Beefburgers, I think, with ginger, garlic and lemon. Salad to go with it.

Hi all, I've been a little bit under the weather, maybe a slight cold. I've got my flu jab tomorrow and I've been worried it might not be a good idea with an existing infection but I don't think this is very bad so I'll go ahead and have the jab. I don't think I qualify for covid jabs any more with the new eligibility rules but I think I've had covid this year already so I'm not too worried.

I've been eating my minced beef stew for three days - the last portion is for tea tonight. Breakfasts have been a little bit not low carb!

I'm still fasting for about16 hours (sometimes a bit less) a day, and that seems to be helping my blood sugars a bit. I need to stop snacking but that is now much less than old me used to do.

Hoping to get a bit done in the garden this week, I've been lazy for the last few days.

Just made two cakes for DIL - a coffee walnut cake and a banana and coconut cake. One, or both, can go in the freezer if they don't want to eat them now. I don't like banana loaves - the texture is all wrong to me, so this cake is definitely a cake and should be a better texture. Experimental, as usual.

Breakfast: a beefburger with a fried egg on top. Coffee.
BG dropped like a stone and kept dropping until I was in a proper hypo. Piece of fruit cake, a toffee, a cup of sweetened coffee and it finally started to rise and I stopped sweating and shaking. Now Libre says it's too high (9.2).

2nd meal will be a beef ragout that I made with the rest of the beef mince.

I sent the banana cake down to DIL and just put the coffee/walnut ones in the freezer to finish later and send it down maybe next week.

Breakfast, back when the day was getting light, was an indulgent blueberry muffin and an armful of insulin.
Spent the rest of the day cleaning the house as I’m hosting the book group here on Friday. Lots of low alarms which I interpret as meaning Imm allergic to housework. I’d rather weed, dig and plant in the garden.
Lunch was veg sushi.

Fasted until 1.30pm, then had a sausage roll and some scrambled eggs. I had resistant starch pasta for tea, with garlic, onions, butter and some cheese. Surprisingly my BG is only 8 an hour after, so resistant starch pasta seems to be better than resistant starch rice which usually sends me up to 10. Pity, I love rice.

Just had breakfast. The rest of the ragout.

Not sure what to have for 2nd meal. Maybe nothing because I'm going to be shattered after my 2nd day in town in a row - podiatry yesterday to check pulses etc and leg bandaging today. Plenty in, because Neil did the shopping yesterday while I was with the podiatrist.
