Oh sorry I missed the bit where you said there was meat in it. I love meat but I’m not sure I’d add sausages to a meat based sauce either. From the photo it just looked like a lovely thick veggie tomatoe-y sauce. I think I’d just add lots of cheese on top.

I deemed both of your comments very sound advice so I just put a plate of the spaghetti-sauce-like stuff in the microwave. (Can I call it a stew? Sounds better that way, much like it was a meal intended the way it turned out :D)
Then I grated @DJC3 's lots of cheese, went for a quick wee and found the cat had eaten half of the grated cheese, leaving me with a generous portion still after I evicted him from the countertop.
But to make sure, I also followed @shelley262 's advice to not not use the cream and added a glug of that to my plate as well.
Not disappointed! :hungry:

Still working with the leftover asparagus and broccoli turned into some kind of stew. :)
Today it started a 4th life as creamy tomato soup! :hungry:
Added some more tomato paste and another tin of tomatoes, water, a veggie stock cube, some dried oregano and cream.

Which turned it into over two days worth of soup, but now a bit low on the meat content. (Not much of the asparagus or broccoli left in the mix either, but that's fine, who needs broccoli in their tomato soup anyway?)
So I chopped a small chorizo sausage to very small cubes and fried the bits to have spicy and crispy meat 'croutons' in my soup. Very tasty, will do so again for tommorrow's portion! :happy:

This reminds me of something my dear old mum would say if we had unexpected visitors. “Don’t fret, we’ll just put another cup of water in the stew”. :D
Today my food intake has been:
Breakfast: full fat Greek yogurt, 3 walnuts , black decaff
Lunch: chunk of cheddar black coffee
Mid afternoon: creamy coffee
Dinner: salmon, salad leaves, mayonnaise, tonic water.
 
? How much alcohol is ok for type 2 diet exercise only???
 
Black coffee until midday, I took Dennis out for his morning walk and went a bit further than normal, didn’t realise it was nearly lunchtime by the time we got back.
L- Turkey breast, romaine lettuce leaves spread with cream cheese, chilli sauerkraut and olives. Followed by a fairly large bit of HC 100% cocoa Easter Egg.
D- Venison haunch steak, cooked rare, in brandy and peppercorn sauce, cauli mash and broccoli. Red wine. It was so nice, I meant to take a photo but didn’t want to stop eating to do so.
M&S seedy crackers to nibble on later.
 
I have been giving the carbs a bit of a nudge the last few days so have not posted my menus to stay on topic.

Two slices middle bacon, two egg and cheese omelette, mushrooms and tomatoes for breakfast.
No smoko again.
Pork shoulder chops, green veggies, gravy for lunch.
Toasted chicken low carb sandwiches for supper at six.

Pulled the bag of cut up leftover xmas ham and bones out of the freezer, for a slow cooked pea and ham soup later this week. Still got a couple of smoked hocks for later as well.
 
The often usual ff greek with seeds and a strawberry or 2
A good supermarket shop. Everything except clotted cream
L: 2 chicken drumsticks, half an orange and ginger smoothie, 2 sqs 70% choc
Lots of gardening
D: 2 lamb kofta with creamy cabbage and grilled asparagus

Popped to a social event on my own. Hubbys last words to me were " take something of yours to eat, or you'll drink and eat everything else in sight"!!! He knows me too well! but i did resist, stuck to one large glass of wine and no food
Then came home and scoffed cheese and walnuts and a lc hot chocolate becuase it was freezing !!!
 
Toast for breakfast. Still very difficult to move today so am taking the easy way. Bade idea, Ihad quite bad indigestion after it.

Later will make mushroom soup, maybe with cream, maybe not - depends how up-for-it my stomach feels by then.

That depends. All sorts of things might affect it - body size, what you've eaten etc. I think dietdoctor gives you carb levels for various drinks.

If you're only concerned with the effect of a particular drink on your glucose levels you'll need to test. As you probably know spirits are generally zero carb, but it's what you mix with them that matters. I've just about stopped drinking beer, as it's too carb-heavy for me for regular consumption.

Of course there's many other reasons not to drink too much.
