I made biscoff rocky Road tray bake this morning for a church Christmas fair. I was in no way tempted to taste it. Biscoff spread & biscuits mallows, white chocolate. Enough carbs in that to last me for at least a week! I can't imagine how sweet it would taste. It all sold within the first half hour and people were asking for the recipe!B: ff greek with 6 blackberries and seeds
L: 2 cold 95% sausages and a bit of coleslaw
Mid afternoon, a bit of non diabetic baking as dropped a few hm biscuits into various neighbours, ones had a recent fall, another s husband's funeral was this week, 3rd just back from vets with poorly cat. All of us suffering broken local mobile phone mast so no phones for 8 days already, then the wi fi went down too.all there was left to do was have tea and biscuits!
I did have a couple, could have binged the lot so very pleased I gave them away!
D: bacon and cabbage carbonara. Later a glass of white wine
Did your duck breast skin get crispy in the air fryer, and did it not dry out a bit? .... I have gone back to a spot of milk in my tea!!!! It has a nicer mouth feel and i miss a milky coffee in the morning.... rest of the day, black tea and 1 canderel though.B- Brie and ham omelette
L- rest of Brie ( about 50g) and a few nuts.
D- air fried duck breast, cauliflower mash and some sprouted seed salad ( new in the Coop but although delicious is unlikely to be restocked, all packs had yellow stickers). Wine with meal, cup of black tea now ( sticking to milk less tea!) and DGF cake.

I stopped taking sugar in tea at about 8 years old but we couldn't get coffee until I was in my teens and I never took it with sugar. Milk, on the other hand, is an essential to me in hot tea or coffee. Cold black tea or cold black coffee is fine without milk, but this is not the time of year for chilled drinks.
Interesting that the duck breast worked in the airfryer... Have to give it a try.Yes, crispy duck skin and juicy meat. Highly recommended.
Re milk/ sweeteners in tea and coffee, I think we all have to do what feels right for us at a time that’s right for us. I tried for years to give up sugar in tea, I only had 1/2 teasp so decided it wasn’t worth worrying about. I’ve no idea when I decided to stop but I’ve never gone back. Same with black coffee, I just decided the time was right to go for it and I can’t imagine having it with milk now. I’m hoping I’ll get used to black tea in the same way. It’d be a lot easier.
They look good.B-cheese and mushroom omelette
L- cheese and salad in SLC roll
D- chicken breast stuffed with le Roule and wrapped in bacon, served with roast veg. Red wine.
For those that can remember the discussion a couple of weeks ago re bread and butter pudding ( @maglil55 and @AndBreathe ) I tried today with the SLC Not Cross Buns. Looked pretty good when they came out of the oven but I wasn’t keen. The buns didn’t seem to absorb the custard properly, and had that horrible spongy psyllium husk texture. Cooked in the oven as it was on anyway so at least there were crispy bits!

I can't think what else would work for this. I'd originally considered SLC bread but that still leaves the issue of the raisin/sultana mix. Perhaps a thinner custard might be worth a try to see if it absorbs better?B-cheese and mushroom omelette

Try reducing your 1/2 teaspoon gradually. That was the route I took and, as I said, I ended up with 6 grains of sugar on the tip of the spoon. It was so silly I eventually just stopped.Interesting that the duck breast worked in the airfryer... Have to give it a try.
I only ever had 1/2 a tsp of sugar in my tea and coffee, and i have tried without any sweetner, but even a bit of artificial works for me. Milk in both is nicer except for espresso, but i am more or less there now on all teas and coffees. It takes a few weeks.. will try again without the sweetner.
