I add all sorts to it paprika, chilli, cayenne, turmeric....depends what I'm doing. Even added curry powder sometimes.
Lunch - smoked salmon and cream cheese. Discovered the most DELICIOUS cream cheese in M&S. They only had low-fat versions of their standard variety, so bought this full-fat one. It is sooo creamy and light. So much so that I’m sure that it could form the basis of another lazy dessert - add a few raspberries and a broken up square of high cocoa content chocolate, perhaps some crushed nuts and instant cheesecake.
OK will be heading to M&S in search of this. Is it with all the other cheeses?
Dinner - chicken wings coated in Parmesan and pork crunch ‘crumb’. Used @maglil55 method of dusting in ground almonds, dipping in egg and then rolling in the crumb. Excellent result. Will add in some additional flavours next time.
Copy me That is an app. @Brunneria told me about it and I use it to store favorite recipes that I kept losing previously.
The good thing with the kitchen blitz is that before I did the last clear out following the book I had 3 'junk' drawers in there. They have never returned to being junk drawers thanks to her 30 min daily schedules. That made the cupboards/drawers cleaning so much quicker (plus I did the big fridge/freezer at the weekend).
Reading that reminded me of my dear departed MIL. A bit like Hilda Baker and Hilda Ogden for getting words wrong. She was waiting to cross the road with FIL when a Lebanese Bakery van stopped at the lights. As they crossed the road she announced to FIL "I do like that lesbian bread" and went on walking while FIL chokedWe had fresh mint tea in a Lebanese restaurant last week - it was lovely! Just a sprig of fresh mint in a pot of hot water, so refreshing.
I thought at the time I’d make it for myself, then promptly forgot about it so thanks for the nudge.
200 g of Lindt Lindor milk choc orange balls, spread from midday to 8pm. Blood glucose stayed under 7 the whole time except for approx 10 mins..
I’m feeling much better today and didn’t feel like I wanted to eat everything in sightReady for this?
Day 3 of virus
4 litres of water, sambucol effervescent tablets, echinacea tea and coffeesubstitute with cream and chicken broth
And 200 g of Lindt Lindor milk choc orange balls, spread from midday to 8pm.
Blood glucose stayed under 7 the whole time except for approx 10 mins.
For those unfamiliar with Lindor orange blobs, that is 86g of carb and 1250 calories = Low Carb.
Ironic, eh?
Mr B took his Mum out shopping today (his day off) and came back with the orange blobs and 3!!! Tubs of Halo icecream ‘cos you are plague ridden and needed cheering up’.
I thought i had broken him of this Choc = Love thing.
But he seems to have reset.
Unfortunately. Although I must admit to doing a CauliCheese = Love thing to him.
I’m feeling better this evening (strange, after all that sugar!) so hoping to get back to normal food tomorrow.
Halo permitting.
@DJC3 I do grow mint and as it happens I have some Morrocan mint tea bags which I sometimes have in the morning but my own version might well be a good idea - thanks.By the way I found mint in my garden and made a pot of fresh mint tea - fabulous. @ianpspurs I bet you grow mint, this might float your boat?
I made my fat head pizza base using the M&S cream cheese, I like that the once opened use by timescale is a little bit longer than other brands.Evening all
@Goonergal I’ve also found that cream cheese and agree it is delicious ( and slightly lower carb than the standard) I could happily eat it out of the pot with a spoon.
@shelley262 The puppy is gorgeous! Nothing in the world is as joyful as a puppy I don’t think. By the way I found mint in my garden and made a pot of fresh mint tea - fabulous. @ianpspurs I bet you grow mint, this might float your boat?
@maglil55 and @DCUKMod thanks for the Copy Me That info. Ive downloaded it and got all my DD recipes on there already!
Today I decided I’d only eat if my bs was in the 5s Fasting bs was 5.8 but by the time I’d taken the dog out and showered it was in high 6s and carried on rising until around 2pm by which time I was ravenous. So had lunch of baked salmon filet and Greek salad with a creamy coffee. Followed by the last of the lemon drizzle cake.
Stayed in high 6s all afternoon dispite gardening energetically.
Yoga this evening - had one of the PhD bars @Rachox recommended as a snack on the tube coming home. They are very substantial and feel very indulgent. I didn’t manage to save half either.
Dinner was ham and salad (more house viewers tomorrow so nothing smelly or too messy allowed) with a couple of strawberries and cream afterwards.

Not that it needs to be - it disappears very quickly round here!

I could write a book on them. It does the same to us as we think in terms of the wrong words too. I remember my son was always looking for yellow check trousers in pies as rhubarb was always Rupert pie! And an old aunties leg problems was because she had "crickets as a child" . But a more recent classic was when a visit to the dentist was required because she had "an absail on her gum". Miss these as you tended to get a few daily.That’s brilliant! I will refer to it as lesbian tea from now on and confuse visitors.
