What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

I used Tegaderm. It's a clear covering so doesn't look weird. I should also add I do 1 hour aqua sessions sometimes without the Tegaderm. I certainly wouldn't go in the steam room with a sensor on. Once you put Tegaderm on leave it on either until it lifts itself or it's time for the sensor to be changed.
Abbott also seem to have improved the adhesive they stick a lot more firmly now.
 
Big thank you I did buy some clear covering like tegaderm and wondered so will try it I was concerned about afterwards if it may pull sensor off so leaving it on sounds good advice and I will avoid steam room this time just do jacuzzi with arm out and spend extra time in gym and less in pool as usually do up to 50 lengths and would be too long I feel. Thanks
 
Both can be easily home made as you can’t get the pre prepared ones outside UK.
The cauliflower and broccoli rice are just frozen chopped bits of the veggies. I use a food processor to quickly chop them to a rice like size open freeze on a lined tray( I use a reusable silicone mat for all my open freezing as food dosent stick when frozen) and then break up and put in bag or container. To cook I grab a lump of the froz veg/rice and either fry from frozen or cook in microwave. More work than Iceland version but once prepared easy.
I also buy cheese and ham ( or use own cooked ham) which if sliced thinly can be used to wrap bits of cheese! But must admit most times to not bothering with the rolling up part! If you want the Spanish version you can buy manchego cheese and Spanish ham or chorizo. They may not look as neat but taste good.
Meanwhile some m and s rollitos for the ferry sound good they are easy to transport and eat! I’ve bought for picnics when out and about.
 

Oh yes I remember them too, I also had nylon pjs so I slipped around and crackled all night long.
 
Today’s food has been CWC and TWAM all morning
Lunch: cauliflower steak topped with feta and chilli. Very nice but not filling enough had a couple of the chocolate nut squares for pud them some salami about 1/2 hr later.
Dinner was a sort of cottage pie topped with mashed celeriac and Parmesan. Bit of an unusual mince element as I was making it fodmaps friendly so no onion or garlic. Put aubergine and celery in, and a fair amount of herbs. Some chopped anchovies melted in at the start helped to give a good umami flavour.
 
Breakfast :Homemade granola, almond milk, hi lo toast and butter
Lunch: Turkey, sopocka, cucumber, olives, tomatoes, small cube of cheese. Cherries, cream and choc granola
Dinner: Chicken in cheese and chorizo with roasted broccoli and asparagus.
Snack: Two squares of 90% lindt, peanuts
Supper: Granola and almond milk

@PenguinMum don't confuse what I wrote with my opinion. BTW our problems are all home made and our generation ( 60- 85 ish) should hang its head in shame. @Tori71 hope the arm is continuing to heal and nice menu.

Wrong thread but probably best not to make eye contact with grandchildren if you cry easily. On topic, just wandered around the garden and quality tested strawberries and raspberries,

Turned out not to be chilli at all - wrongly labelled. It was a rather pleasant beef stew so I didn't need to cool it down with yoghurt. The Greek style salad was good. Used the yoghurt with half a dozen strawberries for dessert.

I remember nylon sheets very well - horrible things! My ex MIL used to get hers from Brentford Nylons (amazing the stuff i remember from way back when).

My cousins partner worked for Brentford Nylons back in the "Swinging Sixties", all the families got them for xmas presents.

Cotton sheets are best cool in summer and you do not slip off the bed either...

I think so but to be fair to the commercial growers I don't have a deadline or a price to meet. Theirs may also taste just as nice if eaten within seconds of picking.

Maybe not - my BIL (whoss a buyer for a major supermarket) says commercial growers chose heavy cropping and keepability over taste. He says grows his own soft fruits and tomatoes because of the taste difference.
 
Lunch yetserday: Nothing as I did not feel like eating anything after the echocardiogram. I did have 30 minutes. x 2 lpm O² when I got home though, not very tasty.
Dinner Corn beef (tinned) savoury hash, with onion, tomato and spudlites.
Breakfast: Cheese and mushroom omelette, bacon, tomato, reheated spudlite.

Drinks: Black coffee no sugar / sweeteners, water.
