Out about 10am to get rid of the recycling load and then to shops. Wasn't sure I could go - felt very nauseous when I got up but 2 cups of weak black tea made me feel better.
Lunch at 1pm - 4 small LC waffles with butter and some more tea. FBG was higher than I wanted (8.8) and by the time I had the waffles it was 12.5. Insulin and Metformin with the waffles have brought it down to 10.5. Still too high, but reduced by 2, which is something.
Dinner will be chicken with lemon and turmeric sauce - out of the freezer again. I am trying to make space for the meat I want to order for Christmas - I would prefer to leave it until the last possible day, but can't guarantee that the butcher can co-operate so I'll order it early and get it as close to Christmas as I can and put it in the freezer.
The plan is for roast beef but I also want to experiment with a low carb version of beef wellington, so I'll need some fillet as well. I also want to experiment with curing pork, so that's another chunk of meat I will need.
DIL is in the process of setting up a laundry business but the ordered shed/workshop has somehow got lost somewhere on the Isle of Skye, although nobody knows why it went there in the first place, so all the equipment is set up in the dining room of their little house to process the business she already has. Which means, of course, no table for Christmas, so they'll come to me, maybe bringing their own turkey, ready cooked, and all the trimmings. It'll save me doing carb rich foods anyway - I'll offer to do all the veg.
Em tells me that next year they are going to rear their own turkey so I warned her not to get too fond of it. She says she will have to think of a name for it though. I suggested "Dinner" to keep reminding them that that is what it is for. Bad Granny!
Hi I fried celery hearts in some butter with a few courgettes added then quickly sealed the game and added chicken stock and juniper berries and celery salt put in slow cooker went out to care for eldest all day and came back to delicious meal. I do Waitrose online as it’s free delivery and about 20 miles to our nearest Waitrose. it is fresh meat in their three for 10 quid offer. ( offer is meat and fish I often get sea bass that way and Cajun chicken breasts!Sounds very good what liquid do you use? Is it in the fresh meat aisle?

@SlimLizzy- sorry you had such an awful day. I very much agree with @Annb but I work on the principle of never order something you could make better yourself. It seems to work. Fortunately, my most favourite restaurant has never given me a bad meal. @DJC3 - have you been watching Junior Bake Off? For their age some of these kids were amazing. I was delighted with the result tonight in the final..
Back to Wednesday. Bed 4.2 FBG 4.4.
B. TAG with ADOC
L. Slice toasted LC bread with Dairylea.
D. Bit of a mish mash again. Prawns, smoked trout, chopped avocado and tomatoes, little bit of pate, lettuce and helmans. DGF lemon drizzle with raspberries and cream.
Go on, ask him on behalf of all of us Can we please have a low carb challenge in the next Bake Off?Update: Sitting in BA lounge at Pathos. Paul Hollywood behind me at check in again and stalked me to this lounge. I ticked no paps box and he still follows me. Shouldn't he be baking or something?
I also loved Junior Bake Off..they all impressed me and were a lovely bunch...in the end I think it was between Finn and Eliza, both brilliant, but glad of the result. I didnt watch the last series of the adult version because the challenges for me were too “off the wall”.Go on, ask him on behalf of all of us Can we please have a low carb challenge in the next Bake Off?
