They're very little jersey royals - barely bigger than the peas!!For my tea this evening I had fried bacon, garden peas, and a few Jersey Royals (sorry).
My BG readings:
- Before: 4.5
- +2 hrs: TBC (I'll add it when I take it, later)

That was on sunday, I've been MIA.Today will be interesting, there is a party at a restaurant owned by traditional fishermen because the place has its 12.5 year anniversary. The owners are friends, and I've worked for them for a while some years back, so I'll see what will be eaten today. May be low carb, maybe not.
Marmite and eggs are so good together!Ohh, never thought of adding marmite to it. I have a jar in the pantry, might be dinner now.
Is this the one? Available from Amazon.Thanks for the info on Red Storm @PenguinMum it sounds right up my street.
@shelley262 what an amazing hol and your food looks delicious. I really hope that orange Lindt bar comes to the UK.
Sorry but no it isn't the German one is 100% cocoa and very low carb similar to the Montezuma bar which is 100% with orange oil.
Gosh that chicken looks good I need to check out that next time in M and S. Lovely to see you back on the forum you've been missed.Thanks for the info on Red Storm @PenguinMum it sounds right up my street.

@IanBish I’ll be interested to see how the Jersey Royals affect your BG, are they chilled and reheated?today’s food:
B-2 scrambled eggs
L- Cheese and marmite in l/c seedy bread sandwich. Chocolate chia pudding.
D- A new find for me in M&S (added bonus it had a yellow sticker) Caesar Chicken Breast Kebab. Salad which included leaves from granddaughter’s school polytunnel, they grow all sorts of lovely veg. A low carb lager in the garden and handul of mixed nuts. View attachment 67565
That's fine - I don't have to feel guilty about buying the five bars for Alistair in case it was depriving any of you guys. Em tells me she much prefers dark chocolate to milk choc, so he may well share them with her. I did try her with Montezuma's 100% but that was too much for her taste.Sorry but no it isn't the German one is 100% cocoa and very low carb similar to the Montezuma bar which is 100% with orange oil.
I don't use recipes for soup I have hm chicken stock in my freezer for soup ( my chicken bones slow cooked with a few herbs often for 14 hours and then strained) which I add veggies to including asparagus if available and cook in slow cooker. A short cut would be to use some instant veggie stock. As asparagus is very fibrous especially if using the ends or peels I would definitely use my stick blender to whizz it and as I do with celery soup - I'd finish it with some cream.That was on sunday, I've been MIA.
All is well, but I really need to make a large pot of something or other before the workweek, or I'll only eat very quick meals and not much veggies.
The party was lovely, and I had lots of grilled mussels and a (very much not low carb but small) pastry thing with cockles and spinach, and a sandwich when I came home at 9 pm.
Didn't make a pic, but I did make pictures of my evening meals during the week, I just didn't get around to posting. And to be honest, they're not my best meals by a long way, but it was food and it was low carb, so here you go:
Monday: LC bread with a fried turkey egg with some kind of sausage and Muenster cheese.

Tuesday: A burger, fried onions, a small fried tomato, and broccoli. Raclette cheese on both burger and broccoli.

Wednesday: Slice of LC bread with chorizo and a LC cracker with gormas cheese (which is gorgonzola and mascarpone in alternate layers, very tasty).

Today: A burger, 3 slices of chorizo, and raclette cheese on LC bread.

Good thing I've had some cherry tomatoes and raw chicory with my lunch at work on most days, and chicory with hummus in bed as well, or I might be at risk of scurvy!
I'll make up for the lack of veggies tomorrow: Lidl sold 750 grams of white asparagus for only Є2,50, which I'll have with my neighbour, and I fully expect we'll finish the bag between the two of us.
They're rather thin so I'll have lots of peels. I've never made asparagus soup before, but it may be just the thing to make for next week.
So what is your go to asparagus soup recipe, I can use some tips!
