No reason other than doing other things so didn't eat until 3.45 when I snacked 2 cheesey dumplings and 2 slices of brisket - very hungry. Around 5.30 usual big salad with mackerel in EVO. 2 hard boiled eggs and avocado with lots of Chia seed. No better rhyme or reason to that than it was what I wanted when my body told me it was time to feed. Lots of tea and a mug of cocoa. Fancy acronym for that is BICD
Saw this also and was quite intrigued. I agree that the ingredients list looks a bit much. My initial thoughts is to cut all the ingredients by a third and make a pizza enough for me and Mrs Miggins. This gets us down to 300g of pork scratchings (about 7 bags). From there, I think that a third of these could be substitiude with almond flour and maybe a bit of ghee to increase fat content. I would want to get this to just two bags and two eggs so am planning to play with it this weekend.
None lined up. She looked online and x-rays were rated "borderline" with no further action required. Implication seems to be knee may be arthritic to some degree but they won't be doing anything yet. She has requested more tramadol which may prompt them to do something - then again ..... Thanks for askingHow’s Julie? Has she got any medical appointments lined up?
@Goonergal
I’ve never taken to pork rinds as an ingredient in cooking, and a base made of them and mayo... not filling me with enthusiasm...
But I am TOTALLY open to you doing all the experimenting and then telling me how delicious it is.
about 10 nuts a mix of walnuts and three Brazil’s
Hi @res1492 and welcome to the thread
1 you can eat bacon and eggs as often as you like without significant blood glucose impact. So long as you don't add bread or other carbs, which WILL have significant blood glucose impact.
2 there has been a lot of publicity recently about how processed meats (incl bacon) may be detrimental to the health, and may cause cancer, particularly bowel cancer. We all have to make up our own minds on this. Me? I looked at the original studies on this, and came to the conclusion that the risk had been massively over exaggerated, and for the amount of bacon I eat (maybe 4 rashers a week), it wouldn't be something I would worry about. Your mileage may vary, expecially if you buy cheap bacon with lots of chemicals, and eat 6 tonnes of it a week.
3 no idea.

Evening all. A hungry day today.
Lunch was 2 fried eggs and 3 rashers bacon.
Afternoon tea was cake I baked for a colleague’s birthday. Chocolate olive oil cake. Nicest one yet - got it a bit lighter than previously. Very large portion with equally large portion of extra thick double cream.
Dinner was mozzarella stuffed meatballs. Replaced suggested basil with garlic salt and herbes de Provence and added some black pepper and onion granules. Pretty tasty. Made an extra portion and put in freezer. Dessert was one - yes one - chocolate almond butter square.
@zauberflote @dunelm @DJC3 on the pizza ingredients. The list was for two 12 inch pizzas. So need to work on half quantities of those. Based on that my estimate for a thinner 7 inch base would me 27g mayo, 148g pork crackling (3 bags), 16g Parmesan, 1 egg, 0.3 tsp baking powder. Starting to sound a bit more reasonable.
Thanks for the tip off. I'll definitely pick one up next time I'm in.I really hope I dont need to go to hospital or I will starve. It was bad enough a few years ago before dx. Anyway todays food
Breakfast: usual 1 slice HiLo toast, tea.
Lunch: Little Gem leaves, 3 cherry toms, 1 tablsp Waldorf salad, 2 cubes cheddar, small avocado.
Supper will be sirloin steak, mushrooms and Little Gem.
Found a bottle of Ribera del Deuro wine in Sainsburys to accompany the steak.
Btw cooks the Waitrose Illustrated March issue has some interesting recipes. The Potato and Black Pudding dish would work by using celeriac instead of potatoes. A couple of nice salmon dishes, roasted cauliflower with lime, and a quick jam using frozen berries and obs swap the sugar for xylitol or other.
I'm exhausted just reading this!Just taking a quick breather. Boys are residing here. Mum & Dad are off staying at the hotel their wedding reception was in 10 years ago, Hubby is at the football, Nana was verging on suicidal but they have now tidied up the obstacle course and will be getting ready for bed in 10 mins. Got yesterday & today to catch up on.
Bed 7.1 FBG 6.9 yesterday.
B & L - Tassimo Americano grande with a dash of cream and spaced out over 7 hours I had 3 falafels, 3 koftas and 2 rollitos. I had to get the 2 of them to school in full fancy dress for World Book Day. No 1 full Harry Potter - No 2 ?? Well he was Peter Pan but everyone who saw him said "oh look , it's Robin Hood". At the start he was saying "I'm not Robin Hood , I'm Preston Pans" (which is a town along the coast from us). Eventually he said he was Peter Pan but by the nth time he heard "oh look" he was replying through gritted teeth. Had to collect Harry Potter at lunchtime as he had the first sedated dental appointment. Dentist confirmed what I thought - he was outstanding. Gas is very different now. With the aid of bubble gum gas he was 1 hr in the chair, compliant , no fuss and she got everything done apart from 2 small fillings one in each of the back adult teeth. So one next week, final one the week after. They all wanted macaroni so much later...
D. 3 GF pork chipolatas, 2 fried eggs, veggie chips. 2 bits Montezuma black forest (it was looking at me)
Today - Friday
Bed 6.9 FBG 6.4 but still getting surges into the 8's just.
B. Tassimo Americano grande with a dash of cream.
L. Had to fit in shopping for their dinner tonight and put together a veggie lunch for No 1 picked them up at lunchtime and to my surprise (his teacher's too) he achieved all 5 values in one day - respectful to adults & classmates, caring to myself and others, achieving (basically doing what you're told to do when you're told) , resilience and nurturing. He got one heck of a certificate from the head for that! Doesnt happen too often. Maybe we should gas him more often??Off to Lego Club after that and change library books.
As I dashed about, 2 falafels, 2 koftas and a slice of Dr Almond with pate pate.
Then picked up Mum & Dad got them to hotel then back here to make quorn mince with loads of veggies and mash (IP in action). For me Tassimo Americano grande with a dash of cream. 1/3 PhD raspberry bar. I doubt I'll have anything else - I'll be past it by the time they're storied out and sleeping!
I felt like that last weekend....I thought it was going to turn into a bug, but seemed to pass quite quickly. Hope you feel better soon and kudos for still going swimming.Evening all. Felt a bit sick all day - had a sea salt and chocolate nut bar mid morning but other than that just a chunk of cheese and lots of water. Off swimming in a bit though so may be hungry when I’m back
I’ll be interested to see how it works out , 3 bags of pork scratchings definitely sounds less extreme.
