Bet those gels love you....I cant warm to any of them...John Mc is the (tennis) man for me!
Bet those gels love you....I cant warm to any of them...John Mc is the (tennis) man for me!Don't think it had an oregano crust. Twisca from the deli counter - those gels really bully me. Enjoy your meet up with your friend and the tennis. I can't warm to Federer.
The cremant de Loire in Sainsburys is on offer at moment it’s lovely and dry and my bgs have been happy!@shelley262 cremant has long been my favourite fizz so I am in good company!
@Goonergal I love that you do a freezer stocktake I tend to “fly by the seat of my pants” as regards the freezer though I have a great friend who keeps an inventory of meals and portion size and ticks them off as used.
That Cordelia is a real bruiser - You should be ashamed of treating the poor and homeless better my lord.Think the chimp that sometimes sits on @dunelm's shoulder whispering wizard wheezes has migrated to the fens. Julie casually asked if I really needed to spend over £30 on cheese in W.......se - (sent to buy radishes and flowers) - those gals on the deli counter force fed me tasters especially Twisca gouda.. Being smug I replied "O, reason not the need! Our basest beggars / Are in the poorest thing superfluous. / Allow not nature more than nature needs, / Man’s life’s as cheap as beast’s." Completely forgot she went to school in Bermondsey before it was gentrified - language would have made a docker blush. Nurse says when the stitches heal there will be no scars . Can you please reclaim your chimp.
A trip to the butcher on the high street and snaffled six excellently aged chops from some hapless lamb - more later.
Lunch - a salad based upon thick slices of ham carved off the bone by aforementioned butcher and some charcoal cheese that a friend gave me - included in a small selection - remnants from his youngest son’s wedding. Some stuffed peppers, pickles and stuff.
Dinner - @DCUKMod - tandoori lamb chops - done in my actifry - a triumph as you implied. Made enough marinade for cauliflower - cooked in a sautéed pan with a lid on and then chucked under the grill, sprinkled with the chopped up cauliflower greens for a bit of a char - not enough room in the actifry - Will certainly do it again - so easy, so tasty.
Our microwave has that setting of Nuke at 1000 watts, all the other wattage settings are for wimps.Scrambled eggs and a bit of cheese nuked in microwave

Have to be careful m/waving tomatoes tho', have to make sure they have a big enough cut in them to stop them exploding.
On our other microwave when it was working, we used to cook rice at 750 watts, we do not eat it anymore tho'.I don’t know what the lower settings are for...
That would be an interesting clean up...

Surprising the number of seeds in four or five cherry tomatoes, they were hard to scrub off as well.
@DJC3 Can imagine hbaca1 disappointment as you’ve stuck to lCHF way of eating but it’s still the right side of the line and I think you came off Metformin in this last period ? It may be worth considering investing in a libre? Just 14 days to a month may help you work out just exactly what’s raising you much more accurately than blood pricking. It’s interesting to see the impact of stress, travelling, exercise, fasting etc for example on your body. I find odd things like that for me there is a much bigger rise from a very lc meal when haven’t eaten all day as compared to when have three small meals but most of my oddities are to do with stress and exercise reactions. My libre reads quite low - although quite close to finger pricking- but as I’m not on meds it’s more for me to do with reactions and trends and as get 24 hours of data about my body I can see where peaks are and what they are related to. Stress for me is def responsible for most of my peaks! Sorry if this is off thread .....Back to full record keeping for me after disappointingly raised HbA1c of 41. Must try harder. ( lipids and all the other stuff was fine - can’t win em all I guess)
B: 1 egg and slice of ham CWC
L: Mackerel salad with 1/2 avocado and a hard boiled egg oo/acv dressing. Later a handful of raspberries from the garden, (which I’ve just realised I didn’t record)
D: Good old standby of kobi Kheema ( mince&cabbage ) with spiced sautéed courgettes.
Various teas and coffees throughout the day.
Ps Thank you for your congratulatory messages @DCUKMod @Goonergal @shelley262
No rice here either, that's been assigned to the perpetual naughty step....
I know the amount of seeds in tomatoes. A remote beach where I played as a child in Wales, the sewerage came out of a pipe on to the beach. All around that sewerage pipe were thousands of tomato plants growing. That scared me, not the sewerage I didn't understand that as a child and in remote places it had to go somewhere, but I would never eat a tomato ever because I could see these tomato plants growing inside my body and as a child I knew the tomato leaves would grow out of my ears...

Out of all easy, quick and, importantly quiet, breakfast foods, so stole one of MrSlims croissants. Did check BG, 5.8 before and at one hour test was 5.9. At that point MrSlim was up, so cooking possible. Made a bacon and egg omelette and more LG tea. So breakfast this morning was a whopping 800 calories.
Its cool this morning, the leeks seem to be sure icing and the recently transplanted French beans. Some of the runner beans failed to show up, but about 10 are looking healthy and need stakes soon. Few radish looking nearly ready. We have a resident pair of flycatchers this year. That combined with my efforts to seal the soakaway has greatly reduced the mouche population. With the neighbours cat doing a similar job on les souris. Now if only someone had an anteater we would have all our major pest problems sorted.
Lunch, the usual salad, with sardines, he had toast, I had coleslaw.
Bit of topping in the orchard that is our garden.
Dinner, chicken and vegetables reheated from yesterday, this time served with rice. I had Three spoonfuls, Carefully checked BG before, 5.8, one hour 6.5, and two 5.9 very pleased with that.
Mother phoned. Still worrying about my weight - had 2 cream crackers and lump of emmental as a result. Will be seeing her in about 10 days, must not lose any more before then.

Thanks @shelley262 it is the fact that I’m still eating v low carb which makes it a disappointing result, but yes I did stop metformin and have had slightly higher numbers since then, also a bit of anxiety and probably most important a lack of exercise. Dennis is still too young to go on big walks (2x20 mins a day) and doesn’t walk far - sniffs around a lot, so my step count has dropped right down and I’ve conveniently forgotten I have a set of weights and an exercise bike - I must quite literally get back on it.
The Libre is a good idea - I’ve a Thriva test in a month or so, and if I haven’t made a difference by then I will invest in one so will be back to you for more details.
Sorry again to have continued off topic. (First sentence mentions food though!)
