That sounds like a brilliant day! What a great idea.
Today was the same as the day before yesterday (meatballs with lots of onion and cheese in them, and green beans with a blue cheese sauce), which should have been yesterday's meal.
But yesterday was 'neighbour day', a real thing, promoted and subsidised by the government, provided you organise something to have neighbours spend time socially together.
Was a lot of fun and I spoke with a lot of so far unknown to me neighbours!
It started at 2 pm, and despite starting to get hungry at around 1 pm I figured to wait a bit with my first meal and see what would be available at the party.
So the first thing I had besides my morning coffee was a glass of hard liquor at 2 pm, as that was the first thing offered!
Apart from that I had plenty of cheese cubes, cold meats, a couple of bitterballen (definitely not low carb) some cherry tomatoes and cucumber, and beer.
Enough beer to find it very funny we were actually drinking beer paid for by the government.
But I did manage to steer clear of all the other high carb snacks, and I had the insulin dosing pretty much spot on.
Got home at around 7 pm, decided a full meal wasn't needed after all the snacking so I had a meatball on a slice of low carb bread.
Enough of the beans and meatballs left for tomorrow, which means I only have to cook one more time for two days on wednesday before leaving on my holiday to the UK on friday!
Very excited for that!
It really is!That sounds like a brilliant day! What a great idea.
Simple choice of reheating in a microwave for a couple of minutes, heat and eat.So I'll just let the fish get cold and do something with it later.
I think it's a great idea when governments pay for the beer, getting a a bit of a different tax rebate in liquid form would suit me down to the ground.While it sounds ridiculous to have the government pay for your beer,
Please tell me about this. How do you make it?crispy cheese omelette
It was, after all, a little bit too dry to reheat so I just made chunky fish mayo. That gave it back enough moisture to make it a reasonable dish.Simple choice of reheating in a microwave for a couple of minutes, heat and eat.
Thank you, good to be back. Just have to get baxk into the swing of things!Good to see you back @RosemaryJackson
Forgot to post yesterdays food but we are back home now so I’m feeling a bit more in control
B- 2 boiled eggs. Spoonful of turmeric and ginger sauerkraut.
L- SLC roll filled with sliced beef and coleslaw.
D- pork chop, 3 M&S 90% pork chipolatas and cauliflower - all cooked together in the air fryer.
2 glasses red wine.
Do you ever forget your insulin if busy? Just wonderingToday, at around 7 am I decided to go back to bed after being up since 3.45. I'd just dozed off when I heard the patter of tiny feet - at least not tiny but not as big as Neil's. I got up and found Em sitting in the kitchen eating a wrap with cheese. She didn't know why she had been dropped off here before school and I would have expected a quick phone call to let me know. However, I guess time was short and Alistair knew she would be welcome. I didn't think a wrap was sufficient for a breakfast to keep her going through morning classes so gave her some strawberries and orange juice - no time to make bacon by the time I'd got her washed, brushed and dressed and one of the few occasions when I thought some sweet stuff would do the job. She went off to school quite happily.
Then I realised that the bins weren't out and it's dustbin day (once every 2 weeks) so hussled around getting those organised and out to the roadside. That just about finished me for the day - legs felt as though they were breaking in half so I had to rest for a bit. And at last - about 9.45 I had breakfast. That was 2 slices of streaky bacon and 2 fried eggs.
I'm still quite hungry though, so doubt if it will last me all day. My fall back position is a nice juicy steak that Neil managed to get for me yesterday, with some mushrooms and onions. I'm talking myself into it!
Must admit, I have done once or twice, but once I realise I keep a very close eye on my BG and inject if it's going sky high. More often I forget my pills. Just decided yesterday that it isn't necessary to take them after my meal - other than the Metformin, so I can take them early on when I have time to think about them.Do you ever forget your insulin if busy?

Put the grill on heat up.Please tell me about this. How do you make it?
Hi All
PS. My new discovery is Marmite peanuts which are amazing and don’t seem to be too detrimental providing I stick to half a ramekin!!
