I’ve been keeping an eye out for the Hilo bread but not seen any yet. So far I’ve only tried the SLC but I have just ordered some rolls and wraps from DGF. They seem to get good reviews.Mid morning: 3 slices cheese on hilo toast. Only meant to have 2 slices but the crust was stuck to the 2 ordinary slices as I took them out of the freezer. Not much of an excuse but it sounded valid to me at the time.

Gardening and watering.
Mid afternoon a mini ice cream

Pilates class.
Still hungry after so 50g manchego
I've only ever found it in Sainsburys, and even then they hide it on either the very top shelf or the very lowest, and it doesn't seem to be with the other special breads either .I’ve been keeping an eye out for the Hilo bread
Thanks Ann , I’ll hunt a bit harder when I’m in Sainsbury. The SLC bread is okay but it is very expensive.I've only ever found it in Sainsburys, and even then they hide it on either the very top shelf or the very lowest, and it doesn't seem to be with the other special breads either .
Keep your eyes peeled. It's about £2 a loaf but freezes well. Once I found it reduced to £1 so I bought 3 loaves and am still on them. I'm very frugal with it and only use it for cheese on toast as I've never found anything else to act as a replacement for that.
Sounds like a good dayUnexpected very busy day.
Swimming first, followed by groceries.
Neighbour-in-the-garden and I had planned to make a plan for installing the solar panels, so I had a generous correction dose when I got home, making plans shouldn't really drop me after all.
And then instead of making plans we spontaneously decided to empty the pond, which had gone all bright green and bubbly. First with a pump, but the layer of mud was too thick for the pump so the rest had to be done by hand.
He used a rake to clear the bottom from sticks blown off trees, beer bottles, a pack of roof tiles nicely tied together with a piece of string (don't ask, no idea), my father's favourite mug, still whole, a plastic fairy, and at least a dozen of duck eggs. (Apparently ducks lay eggs while swimming?)
I used this torture device, which meant I ate a slice of low carb bread usually worth around 7 units of insulin, a couple of winegums with a very muddy taste (I think my pack of hypo treatment winegums is forever ruined now), and a couple of bites from my neighbour's ice lolly.
It's amazing how effective a bucket on a stick plus wheelbarrows full of mud are for dropping BG.

Evening meal was what I had planned for yesterday: Fresh broad beans with cream cheese and some bacon, and the frozen fish thing from Lidl, both were delicious.
Not sure how many carbs in the fish thing, too tired to fish the package from the bin to check, and dosing is off anyway due to all the exercise. So I went with a very low (for me) 2 units dose an hour ago because I dropped to 3.8 again right before dinner, and have by now risen to 5, so far so good.

For the mousse do you replace the liquid with an equal volume of yogurt?Late breakfast was a piece of yesterday's leftover frittata and cwc
Trying to skip lunch but caved in to 1 lc cracker with cheese, swiftly followed by 2, yes 2, hm lc chocolate and raspberry mousses. (Recipe below)
D: half a slice of ordinary bread with cheese and ham toasted in airfryer. Another raspberry mousse!
An hour later and I have a headache. I know I can't have bread ot too many sweetners!!!
The chocolate and raspberry mousses are a happy invented adaptation of the low sugar jelly made up with yoghurt and topped before setting with chopped 100% chocolate. I'd been think of seeing if it made a nice chocolate orange flavour, but found I only had raspberry jelly so used that. The 100% had been lurking in the back of the cupboard and was well past its best. I just chopped it roughly and sprinkled it on the jellies as they set. It's softened the chocolate a bit, but still gives a nice crunch . If the jelly isn't too hot I think the chocolate would stir in nicely. I used 6 of the squares in 6 portions. The bitter chocolate offset some of the sweetness of the yoghurt jelly nicely.
Use boiling water for about the first 200mls, let it cool a little then plain yoghurt up to total of 500mls or so. Less liquid equals a firmer set but I like to use slightly more and whisk it well to be more bubbly airy. The jelly is a sugar free one, ie loads of sweeteners. I find it too sweet if made only with waterFor the mousse do you replace the liquid with an equal volume of yogurt?
Thank you. Sounds like delicious occasional treat. Lots of berries in the garden too at the moment to try out with it. Today I tried making the low carb strawberry cheesecake popsicles from the All day I dream about food website. They are currently in the freezer waiting until I’ve eaten my vegetables first before treating myself.Use boiling water for about the first 200mls, let it cool a little then plain yoghurt up to total of 500mls or so.
