What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

I'm going to add another when I feel better - a Hassleback Aubergine. It's a bit like parmigiana but, not as wet, and done like a Hassleback potato.

I’ll look forward to seeing that.
I do hope you start to feel better soon, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if stress was the root cause. I always get stomach issues with stress and it sounds as though you are having more than your fair share of it at the moment.

Will report later.
Made an oven dish but when I went to get it from the oven I found out the dish was still in the fridge.
Good thing we are way past the era where diabetics needed to eat on set times!

All's well that ends well!
And it ended very well.

Was going to do something with the leftover leek and chicory from yesterdays failure, but upon halving the chicories I found only the outsides looked pretty, the insides were brown and yucky.
So I improvised with savoy cabbage, cooked with the leftover leek. Mixed that with some cream cheese with tomato flavour (something new from Lidl) in the casserole. Fried onion over that and topped with slices of spicy chorizo sausages (also a temporary Lidl thing) and cheese.

Very much worth the waiting, and enough left for tomorrow!

Three bbq sausages, two egg cheese omelette, tomatoes, two slice of low carb toast and vegimite for breakfast.
Tub of the usual yoghurt, usual cordial with Osmolax added for smoko.
Fresh cooked tiger prawns, salad stuff, jelly and two ftuit for lunch.
Cheese and tomato toasted sandwiches for supper at six.

Finally got my weekly bgl average down to 5.9 since starting eating like this, now to get the three month one down. Hopefully I do not have to glug down any of that barium meal stuff again.

It's a public holiday today (Monday) queens birthday, I have to pay Blue Care more for my dressings on my leg today.

It will be a male nurse who only works weekends and public holidays. He is moonlighting from his usual job at a private practice, a great nurse and my partner likes to tease him as well.

Now that's the kind of thing I would do - my excuse is old age but you can't use that one.

Youngest is definitely unhappy with me. Second day running he's brought school work home and he had to do it straight away plus he's managed to lose his lolly as well for the dogs abuse I got from him. He now needs to show consistent respect and manners to adults to earn his lolly back. He's particularly annoyed we're not arguing with him either and that Mum & Dad are 100% on board.

Has something happened to cause this sudden onset of bad behaviour? Perhaps he thinks his brother is getting too much attention. It sounds so unlike the little boy you told us about before this.

Ah, but I was born that way, can't be held responsible for a congenital trait now, can I?

03.10
Only coffee with cream for breakfast
Lunch, credited, and hommous, one ryvita with ham. Cup of tea.
2x tea in the afternoon which was spent cleaning some new to us modern chandeliers and wall lights. A very fiddly job. MrSlim is painting the salon, he is hoping to be moving furniture in by the end of the week. Probably a bit ambitious but I do understand the sense of urgency as the weather has turned cool and extremely wet. Our furniture stored in the barn will be at risk of attack from damp, mould and mice.
Am almost looking forward to November when the front of the house is to be reroofed.
Dinner, fish portion, few oven chips and peas. Panna Cotta. Two glasses of white wine.
Cleared up but stupidly remained in the kitchen reading.
One Clementine, another glass of wine and then opened a bag of grated cheese and started on that. Didn't need any of that.
Lemon tea at bedtime

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a phd smart bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and dark chocolate almonds.
Dinner out, late wedding anniversary celebration: lamb loin chops, mushroom sauce, redcurrant gravy, green beans and a green side salad followed by berries and cream.

I had that trait from childhood, as well. The thing I repeatedly forget at the moment, is the dishwasher. I load it, put the detergent into it and am surprised a few hours later to find dirty dishes in the machine because I have forgotten to press the button to turn it on. At least, as yet, I haven't found my slippers in the freezer! I had an elderly friend who did that, after putting the milk under her bed!

Breakfast: 2 fried eggs, using the remaining onions and dripping from yesterday's lamb .
Lunch: pea soup.
Extra: half defrosted strawberries and yoghurt kind-of ice cream.

Sunday bed and FBG both 7.8

B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast - one with coronation chicken, one with mashed egg.
L. Nothing
D. Made a beef and mushroom casserole in the IP and had it with sprouting cauliflower which I got in my order and another of the Lidl cauliflower souffle things (wish they kept them in stock and not just French week).

This was the worst day with my suspected gall bladder issue but it eased a bit at night thankfully!

I have also wasted 3 days of my life trying to download that useless vaccine passport so Hubby can go to the football. What a shambles! Thankfully I don't need to bother as I won't be anywhere that needs it. It told me about 60 times he didn't exist and every time you had to re-enter the biometric data (which also had a habit of kicking you out). Finally, this morning (Monday) it just appeared - no sign in, nothing. They really are incompetent. I have no idea what someone who doesn't have a passport or driving licence is supposed to do

2 pieces of filet steak, 3 fresh home grown tomatoes, 3 jelly babies.
It has been an unusual day.

Breakfast just coffee needed to get out and about early
Lunch three eggs scrambled in butter with one slice of LC bread followed by a few raspberries with yoghurt
Dinner Cajun chicken with salads followed by DGF cake

B. Black tea, black coffee. Scrambled egg on lc toast.
Off for early morning showing of No Time to Die. Enjoyed it more than I expected.
L. Nice Moroccan cafe. Avocado and halloumi salad.
Snack. Oat biscuit and tea
D. Half a Higgedy vegan spinach and roast tomato quiche, leftover roast vege. 2 cherry liqueur chocolates.

B: ff greek with seeds and 6 raspberries
Exercise class
L: 6 m and s seedy crackers with smoked mackerel pate, cucumber and radishes. 2 sqs 85% choc
D: pork belly in air fryer with cabbage and courgettes. 2 slivers of manchego for afters.
Have to go to a committee meeting tonight in the cold and rain... almost wishing we were still in lockdown

Tried for Omad today but failed. By 3pm I was ready to gnaw my leg off so had 2 slices roast beef, slice of Edam on top and a tsp almond butter spread on than and rolled up. Saw it on a lc fb group and have wanted to try it ever since.
Dinner was DD keto cheeseburger casserole with spinach. Boy it’s rich! A bit too salty for my taste.
@maglil55 I Popped into town today and stocked up on more of the wild red shrimp things from Iceland. Sorry to hear your stressful times aren’t over, but gladi the gall bladder issue is resolving.
@Dr Snoddy I like the sound of your Moroccan avocado and Halloumi salad. I haven’t seen the new Bond yet, hopefully next week.

Tomorrow I'll need to get up at 6:30, which is very much the middle of the night if you usually get up between 9:30 and 11. So I figured I'd best save the leftovers of yesterday's yummy oven dish for tomorrow so I don't have to think about cooking, and improvise today.

Skipped doing groceries so not much choice in vegetables, despite always having a lot of them in stock for the guinea pigs. Having guinea pigs are brilliant when you regularly postpone shopping for 'not feeling like it' but you still feel you need to eat vegetables.
There is no way I'd let my guinea pigs go without their veggies so there's always something in the house!

Today the choice was between onions, carrots and more of the savoy cabbage.
So I cooked some of the cabbage, fried an onion with garlic and some shrimp from the freezer, added it all together and added the sachets of flavouring from a pack of instant noodle soup.
Will have a look tomorrow to try if my neighbour's turkeys will eat the noodles, my chickens don't want them.

Why is it they insist to do diabetic eye checks at 8:15 in the morning? I mean, diabetes is not great fun at the best of times, but adding things like this doesn't make it more fun in any way.
Very happy with a lovely neighbour (another one, not the one from the turkeys) who says she really doesn't mind driving me to hospital at 7:30!

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and phd bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: coconut cappuccino and a ginger carb Killa bar.
Dinner: chicken supreme with carrot, broccoli and Brussels followed by SF blackcurrant jelly, chocolate chia pudding and LC nutty granola.

Where I get my eye tests done at OPSM it's always done around midday for the diabetic one for me. PITA!

Two slices of middle bacon, two egg and cheese omelette, mushrooms, half a small tin of baked beans, two slices of low carb toast and vegimite for breakfast.
Tub of yoghurt, usual cordial and Osmolax for smoko.
Roast of the day at the Brothers sports club, which was a rib beef roast and veggies, gravy for lunch.
Prawn omelette, tub of sugar free green jelly for supper at six.

Here's a pix of the new low carb bread we got the other day, twelve slices including the end crusts from a 500 gram loaf.

St John's pen for size comparison of the slices.
