Late morning: black coffee and an Aldi protein bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and another carb killa bar.

Right before bed a generous portion of crisps to prevent the weekly nighttime hypos. Didn't work this time, went hypo anyway but still had a lovely night.

Have you searched in the back of your garden?
Works for me!

Yup!

ROTFL.You're incorrigible @Antje77

Sounds delicious to me.

I think they were the right ingredients, but in the wrong order. Or something like that.

Often it's over a week or even 10 days for mine. Some never seem to soften, just go straight from hard to bad. I buy the small ones so there's less to throw away if that happens.

Perhaps I've been lucky @MrsA2. Although supermarkets have the purchasing power, independent greengrocers, if you're fortunate to have one within striking distance, know how to look after avocados.

I was introduced to avocados early in life. Grandpa was ex-services and had developed a liking for them whilst stationed in Jamaica. Back in the day, they were not widely available here in the UK and I remember my parents making a lengthy detour to a high class greengrocer in Covent Garden in order to buy Grandpa's avocados. Whilst good quality, grandpa always maintained that they couldn't quite match the flavour of those he'd enjoyed in Jamaica.

I'm pretty sure I win the prize for sorry looking but very tasty food today!

Shawarma with onion again, this time with the endive added to the pan for the last minute to preserve heat, and served on a plastic dish for the same reason. I must be spending too much time in my neighbour's trailer: all winter I was doing completely fine with the temperature in my living room being around 11 °C, and now I feel cold at 15.
I added some red hot sauce to yesterdays garlic sauce, which improved the flavour but made it look even worse.

The shawarma was on its use by date today, so I fried it all and I'll have the same meal tomorrow.

 

[MrsA2]

Woke about 2 hours before the alarm
Full fat greek with 8 blackberries and seeds
2 slices livlife toast with butter and marmite

Coffee with a friend at a garden centre. We'd planned plant buying but it was sooo cold we came home.

L: cold chicken shwarma. 1 hm lc brownie

Cooking for guests this evening, had too many tastes of things, including a couple of gingernut biscuits.

D: roast pork with buttered leeks, lc cauliflower cheese and a few carrots. I swerved the roast pots, Yorkshire, stuffing.
Pud was an lc cheesecake. Mine was topping only, Carb eaters had theirs on a gingernut base. I used a recipe and cooked 3/4 in a smaller than stated dish, and the rest without the base in a very small dish. Worked well.
2 glasses white wine
