Could Em have a mild case of norovirus? Loads of cases here but they're all affected differently.
Could Em have a mild case of norovirus? Loads of cases here but they're all affected differently.Em's still not feeling very good, so I let her sleep in (she never does that, so she must be unwell) but she has come through now, bringing the big duvet off the bed with her and is now tucked up in the kitchen chair. She wanted some cherries, but I only let her have 3 - just in case they start everything up again. I've told her she must have lots to drink today and we'll steer clear of too many vegetables or fruit. We have quite a few protein things available for her. She can just pick at things. She did want to eat the chunky salad that she made to go with the chicken and cauliflower, but I think that can only be a small part of her diet today. She actually didn't eat any of the cauliflower yesterday - had plenty of chicken and cheesey mash though. I had some bits of cauliflower - very nice - but didn't bother with anything else.
Today: Breakfast was something I've wanted to try for a long time - a slice of white bread with a hole cut in the middle, fried in a little butter and an egg broken into the hole. Fairly high carbs, for me, but it didn't put BG up by much.
2nd meal: probably picking, like Em. There's chicken, ham, cheese, some cooked pork plus the salad Em made and some other veggies in boxes, ready to use.
DIL left a basket of fruit and veg that should be used this week - Braidie won't eat any of it - so I'll have to make something with that - froze some grapes, will make soup with tomatoes, red peppers and carrots and will chop up all the bits and pieces of fruit to make a fruit compote. That can go in the freezer, or down to Em's house, if her dad does get home after all. That's a possibility now - lots of staff at the Western Isles hospital either sick or isolating due to covid, so they won't be doing any non-urgent surgery.
I got the cookies as well. One box in the freezer (I ate the other boxnot all at once !).
It's a mixed box - 2 chewy, 2 crunchy. I prefer the crunchie, although even that isn't as crunchie as a piece of shortbread or a ginger nut they're choc chip and yes, I like them as it's nice to have them for a cuppa. They're slightly bigger than a digestive. They are pricey. I regard them as nice to have if I can't be bothered making my own.

Admittedly he won 1st prize at the village show with it, but it is huge and so sticky sweet.
Don't tell him it's easy to cook up low carb stuff but entice him with the real fancy recipes worthy of his obvious great talent!!how do I to get him to cook stuff I can eat
I don't have any issues with oat fibre but whether that's down to the oat fibre itself or the fact it's not enough to do damage I don't know. I do prefer it to the bamboo fibre (which I also have) and neither have produced any spikes to concern me. Hubby eats it too without complaint (mainly because he doesn't know what I mix in from my "potions cupboard" as he calls it!.Hope your backup plan tonight worked out ok @PenguinMum
Can’t beat a dressed crab. The mixed fish fillet meal sounded lovely.
Today my first meal was around 10:30. A DGF roll filled with beef and salad then strawberries and extra thick cream.
Second meal at 19:30 was baked Camembert with roast cauliflower . Then choc chia pud.
I have a YouTube recipe for air fryer KFC ( including the 11 secret herbs and spices!) one of the key stages is soaking in buttermilk but the coating includes flour which I can just leave out, but I was wondering if I could use oat fibre instead? @maglil55 I know you have used it, what do you think? I’ve only just managed to get hold of some.
Here's one I've made a few times which is rather nice and the base works for lemon merengue too (yes I'm about to give you LC lemon curd & merengue recipes too).Dinner ended up being 2 lamb chops with cabbage and courgette, OK so far, but then followed by a piece (quite a large piece) of the sugar laden lemon meringue pie hubby made.
Why oh why does he decide to learn to cook after 30 odd years of not bothering, and when he does why does he always choose to do the sweetest carbiest food??? Admittedly he won 1st prize at the village show with it, but it is huge and so sticky sweet.
I have a secret plan to give most of it away tomorrow under the auspices of showing the neighbours how good it was, but how do I to get him to cook stuff I can eat, or just not bother in the first place?
Another positive vote here for oat fibre I use it in lc bread and it’s really bg friendly I think but has to be oat fibre not flour or oat bran. I use the your health store one their gluten free oat fibre which is white and similar to flour in appearance but much lighter it’s 0g of carb - all fibre. Oat fibre is made from the oats Hull the outer indigestible part that protects the oat while growing and contains no calories or carbs.I don't have any issues with oat fibre but whether that's down to the oat fibre itself or the fact it's not enough to do damage I don't know.
