Should be Hunters Chicken - can't get edit to work.@Goonergal - welcome back. @shelley262 - quite a couple of days! Why is it major appliances seem to go on days where it is nigh on impossible to get a tradesman. Well done on sorting things out for New year's eve. 2 years ago my fridge/freezer went on boxing day. We had to survive for3 weeks using a tiny drinks fridge. @DJC3 - the Dane is your Daughter's isn't it? Or have I missed something and you've taken on 2 Danes? @Brunneria - glad you and Mr B are recovering. I've missed the last couple of days but pretty easy to remember. I've had the boys staying so some refereeing was required. Anyway -
Thursday -Bed 6.2 FBG 6.5
B. Tassimo Americano grande with a dash of cream. Slice Morrisons high protein wholemeal toast with pate pate.
L. Bit of that M&S layered salmon terrine
D. A can't be bothered meal as has been busy catching up on ironing , changing the beds etc. Slice of ox tongue, slice pork loin and marinaded beef. Lettuce, Santini tomatoes, 1/2 avocado, 1/2 egg. Low Carb creme brulee with raspberries.
Friday - bed 6.4 FBG 6.2
Pretty much the same as yesterday but decided to have a cooked breakfast while I could.
B. 4 mini chipolatos, slice GF black pudding, 3 rashers crispy streaky bacon and a fried egg (double yolker too). Tassimo Americanogrande with a dash of cream.
L. Raspberry PHD bar - took boys to library only to discover web site was wrong - they were not open! Took them to Tesco to spend some Christmas money and No 2 needed new wellies.
D. Busy making macaroni for Hubby and the boys. No 2 has developed a liking for Viennetta. After dinner, play , showers etc story time - I'd forgotten how Grim Grimm's tales can be. Both boys out for the count by 8.05pm though. Went for eventually slice of ox tongue, pork loin, lettuce, tomato and boiled egg. Yet another low carb creme brulee and a low carb Bailey's.
Saturday - they may have conked out reasonably early but they were awake and arguing by 6.20am. Gave up and got up at 6 35 to referee again.
Bed 6.3 FBG 5.9 but rising on referee duty!
B. Slice ox tongue and a boiled egg while sorting out boys breakfast. They were very hungry this morning and eating non stop. Managed a coffee as well.
L. Another boiled egg on the move late afternoon. Took son shopping first , I continued referee duties then deposited them all home and went off to do my own shopping. Hubby off to football (they lost) so another can't be bothered meal.
D. Slice pork leg and ox tongue. Tuners chicken filler, boiled egg and yet another LC creme brulee with blackberries. Hubby back from football cold, miserable and now sleeping. May yet have a low carb Bailey's. Niece is off to Glasgow to see the Bodyguard. I'm looking forward to no early morning racket!
Ah yes, I do hope she knows the time will hopefully come when she can. I used to work in counsellor training and we did a lot of work around loss and grief so I know the territory and the process, but it's not quite the same when its your own x

Ginger tea for breakfast
Brunch out at cafe, mushroom and scrambled egg on toast -without the toast, and two creamy cups of coffee.
Dinner, picking and grazing on fathead sausage roll, cheeseboard, mixed nuts, sugar free tonic water. Feel like having a beer, but resisting the temptation.
Had a walk in fresh air today, for first time in ages. Will repeat the exercise tomorrow. Slobbing about has become a tiresome habit that I intend to break.
Yes. Its a pain.
You can actually buy individual cream portions (you sometimes see them in cafes)
Or just buy an aerolatte and re-blend the cream into the coffee.

I’m trying to think of New Year’s Eve party food I can eat
Yeah , we had it recorded and sportscene - deleted without viewing.My team lost too, @maglil55
To make things worse, @Goonergal 's team lost to that other team.
Oh and @ianpspurs team didn't win either.
Not bothering to watch Match of the Day tonight.
Black Porkies! Loved them. You can also do them with haggis. I soften down chopped onion in butter then mix the onion with parsley and the sausage meat/black pudding or sausage meat/haggis and then made cocktail sized sausage rolls. Beaten egg to bind the mix. I'd tend now to increase the sausage meat content.I also made some with a mix of black pudding and sausage meat, @DJC3 . I don't like black pudding but they went down well with even the carb loving friends.
It was. I'm loving the blackberries just now. Hectic is very true. No 2 was annoying big brother hence the referee duties as he was quite annoyed with him because he dropped a Lego ship that took ages to build and it broke. He wasn't about to forgive him even with the knowledge it can be rebuilt.Hi @maglil55 - things sound as hectic as ever in your neck of the woods.
Both Danes are my daughters - the rescue centre she got Melody ( black one) from rang her a few weeks ago and said they had another that would be perfect for her! She lives in the tiniest cottage with a very tall husband and 2 small children so its snug round there but she is very happy with her lot.
I agree Grimm’s fairy tales are terrifying!
Creme brulee with blackberries sounds heavenly.
You can also do a variation on duck and pancakes I.e. no pancakes. Cut the duck breast into thin strips and toss in olive oil and 5 spice. Cook in a wok for a min or so then add about 50 mls hoi sin *don't want too much as this is where the carbs come from. Cucumber and spring onion is finely cut as normal. Instead of The pancake use a small lettuce leaf, add some cucumber and spring onion, top with the duck and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
