Not much, is the short answer to the question posed in the thread title.
Spent much of last night rushing to and from the bathroom. Pre-diagnosis my go-to foods in those circumstances would have been ready salted crisps, TUC biscuits or bananas, or perhaps all 3! Obviously all off the menu these days.
Have risked, variously, 1 cup of tea with 15mls double cream. When that was tolerated, a 24g bag of Serious Pig snacking cheese and a 43g bag of salted almonds. Both also tolerated so dinner has just been another 43g bag of almonds.
Otherwise water, more water and electrolytes (have some which are just electrolytes, no sugar or sweetener) plus pink Himalayan salts/lime juice added to some drinks. Trying to summon up the energy to go to the interview that forms part of the Diabetes UK research.
Yes - overpaid and lazy - that's often the opinion about lecturers. The best bit, as you say, is working with students - I always relished that moment when a student who hasn't been able to understand something, after trying different ways of explaining, sees the light. You can almost see the light bulb flashing on in their head. That made it all worth it. I gather it has all changed, though, since I left and it's all about "clients" and the money they can bring in, as well as the money it costs for resources. And for the "clients" it's all not about getting an education but about getting (being given) the qualification they have paid for (or someone else has). So, I'm glad to be out of it. Enough of a rant.
Today - tea, tea, co-codamol and more tea. I'm finding it necessary to take a small dose of co-codamol more frequently these days - maybe 3 or 4 half doses a week and sometimes twice in one day, just to be able to move at all. Weather maybe? Old age, maybe? Diet, shouldn't be.
Brunch, in about an hour, will be chicken and veg from the freezer, and more tea, of course.
I might make some soup later with the left over roasted veg from yesterday.
Could they reschedule a phone interview?
Scottish TabletExcellent news about the car. Hope you can learn to trust it again. Have they told you what was wrong with it and why it won't happen again?
Re the sweetness, I don't know what tablet is...?
How do you rate sweetness? I would say that this LC choc fudge stuff is nowhere near as sweet as the commercial fudges you can get. I mean, basically those are just powdered sugar, stuck together with flavourings and a tiny bit of fat. This stuff is not so sweet that it drowns out the dark chocolateness. If I had to make a wild stab in the dark, I would say it is approx as sweet as a Lindt 70% choc bar. But that is a very vague guesstimate. Sweetness is just something to adjust to taste and for the texture of the recipe, I think.
Yesterday:
Puffed cheese, LC choc fudge, bone broth, pulled pork, salami crisps. Not in that order
Rather too processed, for my ideal, although the pulled pork and the bone broth were all my own work.
Happy Anniversary @DJC3 and your OH xBreakfast a 2 egg mushroom and cheese omelette. CWC
Lunch- leftover couple of spoons of the fish dish from the other night and an Adonis bar
Dinner out at a lovely harbour restaurant for our anniversary ( hastily arranged as I’d forgotten it)
Local Mussels to start, then monkfish served with charred baby gem hearts, capers and anchovies. Shared a cheeseboard to finish and had a couple of glasses of wine with the meal. BG rise well within acceptable limits so far. All good.

Use rolled up socks as we do, no damage from them.I reckon I'm going to have to stop watching otherwise we may be buying a few TVs as I continue to throw things at it.
Good idea. May have to hurl abuse at the same time though. Emigrating has never seemed so attractive.Use rolled up socks as we do, no damage from them.

Moo Grob. Thank you @DCUKMod
35 mins in IP, 15 mins in oven (but will use airfryer turned v low next time. You can have far too much watching up, you know). Then 15mins on 180 in airfryer.
@Brunneria @DCUKMod I have some pork belly with rind
Will need to do the boiling bit, and can finish in the air fryer, but how long and what temperature to dry the meat in either the oven or air fryer?
Thanks.
