I forgot it was tonight - I have some haggis in the freezer!Well, the haggis wasn't great - edible but not very like haggis.
Evening @Annb. I remember enjoying haggis, neeps and tatties on Burns Night with student friends. I must have been all of 19 years old. It struck me as the ideal comfort food in cold weather.Well, the haggis wasn't great - edible but not very like haggis. I should have put more pepper in and coconut flour really overwhelms the flavour and gives the wrong texture. There's lots of it as well so I'll have to think of ways to use it. It's supposed to be half liver to mince but it could have done with more liver as well - I had more but stuck to the quantities in the original recipe. I'll use the remaining liver tomorrow in something. There's roasted swede left as well, and the chicken that I roasted alongside it. Might just put the chicken in the fridge for Saturday.
Weighed myself this morning and I've put on a tiny bit more. That must be all the messing about with carbs and BGs. So, no more of that. Very low carb from now on. BG has been OK today and that's with the slight reduction in basal insulin.
I love a cheese and mushroom omelette. And that one looks pretty perfect!
Chorizo is fab in a stir fry for adding some flavoursome oil and seasoning. I was mentally adding it to yours above, until I read curry powder, but that’s great too.I forgot it was tonight - I have some haggis in the freezer!
But for lunch I had a couple of LC rolls with corned beef, plus a couple of boiled eggs. And I successfully managed to avoid the Krispy Kreme doughnuts in work today.
For dinner I did a sort of stir fry, with onions, cauliflower rice, red peppers, flaked salmon, frankfurters, mushrooms, peas, garlic and curry powder. It was very nice; I'll definitely do it again.

It really doesn't seem a year ago but so pleased for you getting the all clear again. Love the look of the carluccios meal too - great idea to have an extra boiled egg rather than the potatoes.Morning all, yesterday went very well, thank you so much for all the good wishes. Scan was clear, no sign of the big C and my lovely consultant was very happy so I have another year’s reprieve. Such a relief! The day was tinged with sadness thinking about Goonergal. It had become a tradition to meet up around my scan date for a chat and a meal. Last year she was just about to go in for her op and was in too much pain to walk far but we still enjoyed our meal and chat and even arranged where we’d eat this year. It doesn’t actually seem a year ago.
@Antje77 full marks for making it to your endo appointment, what a lovely neighbour. Great results too!
@MrsA2 sorry to hear your news, you are showing extraordinary stoicism at the moment. I hope things look up for you soon.
Food yesterday- no breakfast but a fair amount of coffee.
Met up with daughter who was coming in to my appointment with me as chief hand holder. Lunch was chicken Caesar salad at Bella Italia.
Dinner that evening in a spirit of celebration at Carluccio, I had a grilled tuna salad with anchovies and an extra boiled egg in place of the potatoes and croutons. White wine Continued the celebration with a large brandy back at the hotel. View attachment 65819
I can't tell you how relieved I am for you @DJC3 . As you allude, this time last year was when the Goonergal really got going to the sharp end and action, which sort of heightened my anxiety for you. I imagine there was likely a bit of that for you too.Morning all, yesterday went very well, thank you so much for all the good wishes.

Breakfast: slice of Einkorn sourdough with butter and ricotta cheese.
Lunch: chaffle and ricotta cheese
Dinner: air-fried chicken wings tossed in melted butter and hot sauce. Large glass of merlot.
Settling down tonight to read 'Glucose Revolution' by Jessie Inchauspe aka Glucose Goddess which arrived today. By glancing through the book so far, think it's mainly about the order on which we eat, think she's suggesting we eat salad or green veg first, then protein, then carbs such as fruit. The book does come recommended by Robert Lustig, Michael Mosely, Benjamin Bikman and Tim Spector (don't think they come more heavyweight that these guys). I'll be reading with an open mind.
