What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Yesterday was pub quiz night so had fish & chip supper, glass of white wine, glass of red wine, glass of port:wideyed:
Tested bs levels before going to bed fearing the worst. However got a reading of 5.0. Maybe this should be my new diet! Reading this morning was 5.5, also fine.:)
 
Yesterday
B - a smoothie of blueberries, avocado and almond milk. Bloody horrible. I'll try again today and vary the quantities but I'm not hopeful.
L - turkey salad
No dinner
S - coffee & cream, babybels, mini-salamis, merlot
 
Sorry, don't know any special recipes, I just love it mashed with lots of butter and pepper. Did you know you can cook it whole in the microwave? No need to peel or prick it?

It takes about 20 minutes on "high", mines 700w microwave. Take out of oven with a cloth, lay on its side, the knife just slides through it - scoop flesh out with large spoon. When it's prepared the other way, quite a lot of the skin is cut away & always hard to peel anyway. The microwave way there's hardly any waste.
