Yesterday
B Chia pudding made with almond milk, few raspberries, spoonful of almond butter
L Last of the mushroom soup, 2 soft boiled eggs with Liv life marmite soldiers
D Veg curry with cauliflower rice
 
Bit of a rush this morning - by the time I got Em up, showered and breakfasted, then got my own shower, I had about 2 minutes left for breakfast before going to get my rebandaging done. So breakfast was 2 RyVita with cold bacon (I'd given Em bacon and egg, but she left the bacon). Filled a gap!

Can't remember if I actually took my basal insulin this morning so I am assuming that I did - BG is still only around 7.

2nd meal today: cold roast chicken and some more of the cabbage/carrot stir fry.

DIL will be having her surgery at the moment so hoping that it will go well. The surgeon told her it was risky and there was a reasonable chance that it would lead to paralysis. However, if she didn't have it done, that would definitely lead to paralysis. Hobson's choice really....

Late back from school run as I got caught in a blizzard! Very unusual for these parts and no roads gritted. Needed strong coffee when I got home. Then an early lunch of a small sirloin steak and fried eggs.
Mid aft h/m yoghurt with blueberries and seeds.
Dinner locally caught lemon sole (with crispy skin @maglil55 ) with lemon butter, steamed cavolo nero and celeriac. Montezuma’s absolute black with almonds and cup of tea to follow.
@Annb keeping fingers crossed for your DIL

Poor girl! Positive vibes and healing wishes from this corner of the world.
 
@Annb Sending positive thoughts towards your DIL, it's got to have been a long trying day for you all. x

Breakfast was a fav chaffle recipe made with Mozzarella. Eaten with a heaped tablespoon of Phily on the top.

Cocoa with cream and 3 hm lc shortbreads

Rotisserie chicken breast, and two different kinds of chips, one lot was swede and one celeriac. which one was the best?

My 'experiment':
75g of celeriac (uncooked) has 4.2g of carbs, where 75g of swede (uncooked) has 3.6g carbs. The celeriac seemed to have cooked quicker but there weren't much in it. When cooked I didn't notice much difference in taste. The celeriac was more limp when cooked, whereas the swede cooked more like potatoes and held together better. Both were tossed in grapeseed oil and salt before cooking. Celeriac was £1.50 a kg, swede was about 70p a kg. My hubby preferred the celeriac, it certainly is easier to peal.

For afters I tried a pot of 'Hartleys 10 Cal', basically it's a jelly, but rather nice and only <0.5g of carbs - was thinking this would be nice in the summer, frozen with a lolly stick in the middle. Asda have them on a sale at the moment for £0.50.

Carbs for the day around 15g.
