Is it a kefir drink you have and do you make your own?Usual breakfast kefir with seeds
Lunch two eggs with slice of LC toast then a couple of squares of 100%chocolate
Dinner starter of ACV with water then usual Friday salmon with lemon butter and asparagus and glass of red wine then LC cake and decaffeinated coffee.
Having a very easy day today and trying to stay off the painkillers. Quite enjoyed my egg mayo breakfast but I should have put a little more salt in the mayo. BG currently 8.3, but that's down from 12.9 before breakfast.Hi All
So back to yesterday.
Brekkie usual slice LC toast, butter, copious tea.
Lunch was cold plate two slices ham, chopped salad and spoon cheesey coleslaw.
Supper was Peking Duck shredded with cucumber and spring onions smidge of sauce in two of the Sainsburys B Free high protein wraps which tasted amazing and a real treat. They are 4g per wrap and tbh I should have stuck to one but I got a bit carried away with the excitement.
@Annb my heart sank for you after all the effort you put in and your guests didn’t come. I hope you have a good rest after all that.
I found an article about it (which also has a recipe). The only time I've used it was to make cheese/mayo on toast. I just mixed Herman's, grated cheese, paprika, put it on toast, and grilled it. I've added some mustard to it before. It certainly gives toasted cheese a whole different taste, and it's quite creamy.Having a very easy day today and trying to stay off the painkillers.

Does anyone know what the salad dressing/dip is called that is made with mayonnaise and grated cheese? I'm sure I've heard of it somewhere but don't know where. I made up a recipe for it yesterday with 1/3 mayo, 1/3 yoghurt and about 1/3 grated cheddar plus some onion powder. It was pretty good, but I'd like to find an original recipe if I can. I don't think it sprang from my imagination.
Thanks for that @maglil55. I think the one I made was a bit thinner (meant to be a salad dressing) but a bit more cheese would thicken it nicely as a spread for grilling. The paprika would make a nice addition. Might just keep experimenting with different flavours (cayenne/chipotle/garlic?)I found an article about it (which also has a recipe).

Cheese Mayo Is the Condiment You Need to Make
When it comes to burgers, I prefer to keep things simple. A thin, smashed patty, a good melty cheese, maybe a little onion, tomato, and pickles. I donlifehacker.com
Glad you managed to get out and had a lovely meal.Saturday 25 June bed 7.9 FBG 7.1. We did get out! We feared the eldest was having a relapse, but he made it.
B. TAG and 2 slices of SRSLY toast with Ploughman's Pate. Benecol dairy free.
L. Having gone to try to get DIL a dress she'd been looking at, I was hungry on return. Thankfully, my supply of SRSLY bread had arrived. Sandwich with deli roast pork and coleslaw.
D. I was driving, so I only had a Peroni 00. To start, salt & pepper squid with chilli, lemon, and garlic mayo. Main, veal escalope marsala (surprisingly, it didn't do any damage) with a bit rosemary saute potato, and peas done the Italian way with pancetta and spring onion. I even had an Affogato. One scoop of vanilla ice cream with an espresso poured over. Both boys are eating again, and the eldest was very enthusiastic about their gluten-free selection. Both Hubby & DIL got the desserts & song they do for birthdays these days. Lovely meal. A welcome break!
Maybe a few chopped chives?Thanks for that @maglil55. I think the one I made was a bit thinner (meant to be a salad dressing) but a bit more cheese would thicken it nicely as a spread for grilling. The paprika would make a nice addition. Might just keep experimenting with different flavours (cayenne/chipotle/garlic?)
For people not a million miles apart, geographically, your garden is well ahead of ours.@maglil55 pleased you got out and had a good time
@Annb sorry your plans didn't work out a real shame when you've gone to such an effort
@Grace04 're kefir yes make my own with organic kefir grains and organic whole milk - it goes quite thick and when mixed with seeds thickens it more - I mix some with seeds and put back in fridge overnight ready for morning and it tends to thicken it nicely.if not in production as been away for example I tend to buy kefir yoghurt such as Waitrose's own gut health variety.
Dinner

My garden strawberries are almost over but notice my raspberries are starting to ripen and these are definitely my fave berries.
Our raspberries seem to have taken a hit from the odd weather last few seasons. Usually start picking a few mid June but have manged just 5 so far. No sign of maincrop strawberries but the alpines have some berries, not as many as usual.For people not a million miles apart, geographically, your garden is well ahead of ours.
Our rhubarb is still cropping well, but our strawberries are just beginning to redden.
Hey ho. (Probably different varieties, etc., etc., etc.)

BUT I do have 2 figs that will ripen, second time in 15+ years, and yes I will eat them no matter what they do to my bg.
