@gennepher you can never have too much cheese in my opinion.
Folk lore says don't eat pork unless there is an r in the month.

People in Ye Olde Fens had meat safes but were still wary of pork in summer. I agree it was related to refrigeration but since we still think Good Queen Bess 1 is about we don't risk pork from April to end of August.I don't think it is quite folk lore as such.
I think it just means don't eat pork in the warmer months, because you did not have a fridge in days gone by, and I didn't have a fridge when I left home and next day in the warmer months the pork was full of maggots....
Doubt you will develop full blown dislike but a day with Montezuma's plus a combination of cauli cheese and cabbage is seriously odd That would challenge even the most hardcore devotee and roast pork in late June is every kind of wrong
There were a couple of pork butcher shops around Reigate when I started my butchering apprenticeship in 1960. They had been in the same town for ever as they were pretty old then,People in Ye Olde Fens had meat safes but were still wary of pork in summer.

Some days are diamonds, some days are rust, eh? Had you really never heard of not eating pork unless there is an r in the month? What about not eating sprouts until they have had a frost on them? @Tipetoo great story. Wisbech is quite picturesque but rather like an Old West frontier town these days. Were the strawberries Cambridge favourites - by far the sweetest?Montezuma’s was most definitely the highlight of the day. .
Knee held up to three long walks with Cooper all hilly as it is hilly here in Worcestershire. Bit sore but did it. Cooper crashed after second walk but was then looking round for more so took him on early evening one and now in garden throwing balls to tire him out I will need good sleep tonight.
Very impressed with my libre so far it’s pretty similar results to my fingerprick samples I did to check so will just go with libre now for the two weeks. Fascinating to see all that data!
Coffee with cream and black teaall day
One meal chicken, salad, bits of cheese and hm seeded crackers and glass red wine followed by sf jelly and yoghurt now in garden with decaf coffee and small amount of 100% choc.
@Tori71 good to see you back hugs for your arm
@PenguinMum have good weekend with son will be hard but goodcity to visit.
@Chook hugs for medical mess hate hanging around hope it was worth it ie helpful outcome for mr C

I wanted to see how fasting affected me and also busy day - I meant to eat breakfast and then fast to dinner but had to dash out. I’ve done just breakfast and dinner all this week to tighten up my weight - as I was at the top of my own maintenance range after Spain but now right back in middle so will move back steadily to three small meals. My bgs got very low with all day fast to 3.4 but then after meal up briefly after half an hour to 5.8 but back down to 4.8 two hours later. Interesting stuff will be interesting to see what I’m like overnight. Cooper is crashed out on my knees on sofa!Omad isn’t your normal way of things @shelley262 was it just the way today panned out or are you experimenting with Libre data?
Glad your knee held up to Cooper’s demands.
I cannot remember the name of the strawberries to long ago now, I visited a friend in St. Ives up that way in 1986 the last time I was in the UK, that was bad as well. It would not have happened in Ollies time,@Tipetoo great story. Wisbech is quite picturesque but rather like an Old West frontier town these days.

Wow. St Ives is basically where I live atm although not for much longer.I cannot remember the name of the strawberries to long ago now, I visited a friend in St. Ives up that way in 1986 the last time I was in the UK, that was bad as well. It would not have happened in Ollies time,

Can’t beat a sleepy dog in your knees to bring down bg either!I wanted to see how fasting affected me and also busy day - I meant to eat breakfast and then fast to dinner but had to dash out.

Tell Mr C that he is completely correct on the effect of frost on those vegetables and enjoy those strawberries. Chivers had a base near Cambridge which probably gave rise to those strawberries and over the past 20 years an event called strawberry fair has been revived.Beautiful day here in sunny Yorkshire (well, for the intervals between the clouds, anyway.)
Mr C swears that sprouts, winter cabbages and parsnips taste much nicer after a frost - they taste just the same to me. We used to grow all our own fruit and veg but nowadays (due to not enough time) its restricted to the fruit cage at the bottom of the garden and my greenhouse.
Today...
Breakfast: bacon and eggs
Lunch: small chunk of cheese
Dinner: Roast chicken, sausagemeat stuffing balls, carrots, cauliflower and chard and courgettes (both frim the garden). Also some sugar free h/m cranberry sauce and gravy.
Dessert: Strawberries from the garden (@ianpspurs our strawberries are Cambridge something - they are huge and so sweet and strawberryish that they don't taste real - nothing like shop bought)
Drinks: black decaff coffee, plenty of water and some red wine
