Evening meal was yet another barbecue with neighbours after working on neighbour Astrisd's house and roof.
I stuck to spareribs (marinated but not too carby), a skewer with onion, bell pepper, and salami slices, very low carb, a single bite of bread with zaziki, and a generous portion of salad with extra olives.

BG rose over 8, which doesn't really make sense, I've had those spareribs about once a week for the past couple of months and this is not what they usually do. I'll have to ask Astrid what she used for a salad dressing, I'm suspecting honey was involved...
A little extra insulin and the bike ride home quickly solved the problem, back in the high 5's by now.

I love red wine gravy @IanBish. At Christmas and New Year, I sometimes push the boat out and add a drop of tawny port.

I didn't make it @LivingLightly, it just came with the lamb shank. But it was still very nice.

What's zaziki please? @Antje77. Is it the same as tzatziki?

It is, it's spelled in different ways even in my own country!

 

[LivingLightly]

Righto. Thank you @Antje77. I expect the variation in spelling is due to transliteration from the Greek alphabet to our Roman alphabet which may not have exactly equivalent characters and sounds.

That kimchi sounds like a super duper partner for smoked trout @shelley262; especially in warm, sticky weather.
