[filly]

Coffee and cream
Cottage cheese tomatoes

Brunch: scrambled eggs topped with grated Parmesan.
Few nuts ( I must stop buying nuts!)
Lunch/dinner: roast pork loin, sprouts cooked with pancetta, buttered green beans and ( very unphotogenic)cauli cheese. A sizeable portion of crackling to top it off.
Couple of hours later I had decaf coffee and a DGF Crimbo Crumble with cream ( resisted the brandy @shelley262 )

I think there are just 2 branches, both in Cornwall - certainly worth hunting out if you are visiting Truro or Falmouth. They’re called Bodega 18

We have friends near Falmouth. I think they must be due a visit from us

B: scrambled eggs topped with Parmesan.
L- tin of mackerel in olive oil with kale crisps, a hard boiled egg and courgette ribbons. DGF cookie to follow.
D- lamb and spinach curry, overdid the chilli a bit so had a dollop of sour cream on it. Served with half a toasted low carb pizza base to mop up the sauce.
A few minutes ago I was searching for something in a drawer and came across an opened bar of Montezuma’s AB so of course I had to eat a few squares

Hello all. Pensioners lunch today. Soup first. Baked chicken, cauli, broccoli and 2 scoops mashed potatoes. Pudding was sponge with custard, I know, not diabetic friendly. But it was very nice.

I used to love steamed pudding with strawberry jam and custard. Not had it for ages, though. I'm glad you enjoyed yours.

Memories of school lunches! That and the baton of carrot in a glass of lukewarm water. Happy days.

Do you find sourdough affects your blood sugar differently to non sourdough? In my experience, which includes taking insulin, I still get a rise but the rise is slower to take effect and possibly a little less than non sourdough but I’m not quite convinced on that yet.

I think so. I had a supermarket sandwich fairly recently and the spike was faster and steeper. But it's bread, and it does what bread does.
