Hiya - I could walk for miles but don't like the steep climbs too much!Hi all
I Did watch the documentary film ‘fat fiction’ yesterday evening and thought it was an absolutely excellent film well worth watching. Loved the old adverts from 50s, 60s etc. Lots of great info about cholesterol and nutritional guideline misinformation - it’s American but lots of it also applies to us here in U.K. I found the libre sensor experiment particularly interesting as well as lots of inspirational examples of people who had turned their diabetes round. I watched free as I’m an amazon prime member but if you google the film it will give you other options on how to watch it - think it’s included in Netflix if you are a member or think you can pay to stream as one off. It’s an independent film no food industry sponsorship. Would really recommend it especially to learn about fat in the diet and the low carb way of eating. I’m already planning to watch again with mum when she hopefully comes down in August when hershielding ended. She has never changed from butter and fatty meat and will find it fascinating !
Long day long hike - although not quite your marathon distances @Goonergal ! Managed 15kms. However lots of very steep climbs.
Picnic lots of coffee took two flasks and two boiled eggs with one slice of cooked crispy bacon
Dinner salmon in lemon butter and cauliflower cheese with glass of wine with soda followed by DGF Bakewell tart and Greek yoghurt. Tried these for first time they taste amazing - rest of box in freezer is now under threat! OH agrees that they are one of the best.......
Hiya - do you whisk the eggs up and then add to the mince or what do you do?
Many thanks for that - much appreciated it sounds fab.I start by frying the mince (in its own fat as I use 20% or 25% fat mince), add onions and then once that’s all looking nice and brown, crack the eggs in, turn the heat down and wait for the whites are set but try to keep the yolks a bit runny. Then add salt, oregano and grated cheese for a nice gooey mess. Very tasty and filling - and cheap! Been one of my go-to lunches while working from home as it’s also quick.
I'm assuming it is the dark chocolate one?@Brunneria and @maglil55 - I found the Lindt chocolate.... £3.00 for a 150g bar in Morrison's. I've put it straight in the chocolate freezer to avoid eating the whole thing. @Brunneria When you said you ate the whole bar did you mean this 150g size bar?
I haven't seen the 90% Godiva for ages.That 90% Godiva is delicious.
Do you find freezing chocolate stops you from eating it? I’m sorry to say I can happily eat it frozen too. ( also looking at you @Goonergal )

Bit of a rubbish day from BG point of view, maybe tomorrow will be better but I think it’s the usual ‘scanxiety’ kicking in - scan is in 4 weeks and this seems to happen every time.
Coffee all morning.
Lunch BLT using Romaine lettuce as wraps and H/M mayo. Strawberry &cream DGF blondie with cream to follow. @shelley262 glad to hear the new raspberry bakewells are good. I have some in the freezer but haven’t tried one yet. Thanks for the film recommendation too.
D: takeaway from local restaurant. Hake loin with walnut and rocket pesto, some olive& tomato tapenade type thing. Ate the leftover cauliflower slaw from yesterday with it instead of chips. 2 glasses white wine.
@Chook I completely agree, a gentle 3 yo lab with epilepsy is really not the same as a boy mastiff with behaviour issues. Dig your heels in on this one.

3:59 where I live, so I seem to have a solid knack of predicting the futureIt's my neighbour's birthday, and we'll have a garden party with a big fire, barbecue, fire crackers, lots of booze and enough room to social distance
Should I log in at 4AM tonight and write gibberish, well, you'll know the cause

I just came home after way too much whisky and beer, but food wise everything was fine: different meats from the grill, a little piece of bread with garlic butter and some salad. Accompanied with some insulin at rather random moments I managed to stay below 8 all night!
Came home to 6 dogs instead of the expected 2 belonging to me
One friend is staying in a tent at the party garden but didn't inform me she dumped her dogs at my place for the night. The other 2 belong to another friend. I knew they were at my place during the party but this friend left hours before I did. The text message I saw when I was home again said he was sorry but he forgot his dogs. And he's a tea-totaller too!
Anyway, I'll thoroughly enjoy my surprise 6-instead-of-2-dogs-bed, and I'll refrain from trying to make sense in writing here

@Chook - "Fresh" is a thing with chocolate? Who knew?
OMG!! SIX!! If that happened to me I'd end up having to redecorate !!
I once had a friend's only dog to stay over for a couple of nights (while his Mum was in hospital) and they all went bonkers - in a good way - and completely trashed the garden. That's when we gave up on grass. We've got slate now so it just needs re-distributing when the dogs have a mad five minutes.
