Amazing experience bet you loved every minute
Amazing experience bet you loved every minuteEvening all. Finally achieved my dream of playing for an official Arsenal team today. @ianpspurs look away from the pics.
Pre-match meal was 2 Waitrose free range Cumberland sausages and 2 fried eggs
Post match meal was a small mixed grill at a Turkish cafe near the Emirates. Assorted shish/kofte cubes, 2 chicken wings, 1 lamb cutlet.
Still hungry 2 hours later and BG had gone down so made a version of lazy mousse - mixed some M&S whipped creamy cheese with double cream and a teaspoon of Lidl cocoa powder. Pretty good.

It’s about balancing real life with the choices you make for the rest of your life, an occasional treat will not do any harm and I think it helps to keep us on track. I’m sure you enjoyed the company and the occasion and that’s what’s important xOK, look away now - total carb fest!
Breakfast - Hi-lo toast and butter
Lunch - Roast beef, yorkshire pudding, cabbage, carrots, roast potato, gravy. Two blackberry and almond martinis.
Above was our family meal we have at a really nice restaurant once a year, it's instead of buying birthday presents for each other. Actually doesn't look too bad now I've typed it, and seems to be under or around my carb limit. As I eat well under this most days I may just get away with it!!! Also, hardly ever drinkso this was a treat!
OHs brother and us sorted out his loft and lots of boxes are now heading for our loft! Planning to get them up there tomorrow. Hope everyone had a good weekend.
@Goonergal that must have been brilliant, you look so happy.
I assume we're talking about the chocolate pear cake? Yes it has been low carbed.@maglil55 - Please tell me you have low carbified this one? I can't think of the last time I had a pudding, but that appealed.
This evening I have made MrB an individual rhubarb crumble, with probably the last of this year's rhubarb. In this hacienda that's like giving up one's last Rolo.
It's one part of the house I can feel happy with. We has to clear ours for new insulation and I've kept it clear apart from suitcases and Christmas decorations.You have my sympathies - I’ve been tackling our loft for 2 days and have only got 1/4 through it. I’ve absolutely no idea why we put half the stuff up there in the first place, and why have I hung onto 6 china tea sets? I only ever use a mug.

I used 85% chocolate. Also they're correct that it is a very dense cake so I used my normal trick of separating the eggs, whisking the whites to stiff peaks and folding the whites in carefully at The end to get some lightness into it.
I've also made a chocolate topping for it before with melted 85% , some cream to loosen it and a hint of mint.
That web site also has the fabby Black Forest Gateax which I adjust as well by soaking the black cherries in kirsch and dark chocolate decoration and I use the whisked sponge method as always. Also there's a really good chocolate and coconut cake.

Hello all.
@DJC3 and @maglil55 -- Great blood sugars. So happy for both of you.
Woke up to somewhat higher blood sugars, so have decided to cut down a bit on the food today.
Breakfast: Two double decaffeinated espressos with cream and erythritol.
Late lunch: A bit of chicken livers with a pastis-creme sauce with tarragon. A small serving of the boeuf bourguignon from yesterday. A small piece of low-carb carrot cake.
Dinner: Lamb's lettuce with a mustard-lime dressing and feta cheese. Half a DD keto roll with liver pate. Half a glass of red wine.
Blood sugars in the evening much more reasonable.
Next week will be busy again, so glad I have prepared lots of food this weekend.
That looks doable - doesn't mention keto or IP anywhere. Pity I didn't see it before I fed the chickens and compost heap most of the pears from both trees. I did take bites from some along the way and they seemed exceptionally sweet this year. Think we do have some we bottled last year.I assume we're talking about the chocolate pear cake? Yes it has been low carbed.

Hate when that happens!I've just lost the will to live, having had two days worth of typing what I've had to eat disappear into thin air...
