I'm sorry to hear you've been having a hard time and very glad to see you're back!
Should your results not be what you'd like them to, you'll know the cause, and with meals like today you'll be back on the wagon in no time.
Thank you!

Creamy, cheesy, leeky goodness with shawarma meat (still on offer at my supermarket so I'll keep eating it).
I forgot my lunch (which is also my breakfast) on the kitchen table today, so 5 hours of work on an empty stomach, very glad my basal is spot on and I don't need to eat from a diabetes point of view!
I finished my workday with a quick swim from the ship I work on, followed by a rush to a supermarket to buy a dried sausage to eat on my way to the gym at 4 PM.
A second swim after the gym, and home for a couple of beers before cooking dinner.
The only thing I dosed for today was the beer and I spent most of my day in the 4's and low 5's, apart from a short rise to the mid 6's from the gym and sausage!

This evening I had wild (allegedly) salmon with mushrooms, peas and some buttery, starch-resistant mash. It was all very nice.

Thanks for the welcome home @LivingLightly @MrsA2 and @PenguinMum - I love the sound of Red Storm Cheese, I’ve never heard of it, is it local to you?

D-air fried lamb chops ( from 1/2 lamb in my freezer that came from a small holding just 1 mile away) dollop of my fermented veg and some buttered cabbage. A DGF peanut butter egg and decaf coffee with cream

My mouth is watering! Unfortunate,I'm reading this just before bed and I really don't want to eat any more tonight. In any case, the food in my fridge is not half so interesting as yours. I need to be more enterprising in my shopping.

I'd love a recipe /instructions. I'm wanting to ferment my own but lack confidence.

Please, how are your mussels prepared? Do you cook your own? Where do you buy them? I used to buy them in a jar, but the vinegar was too strong for my taste.

Morning all. Today's menu is a bit strange. I'm trying to empty my freezer so I've got sausages, a small piece of salmon, some mashed potato and some peppers. Could be interesting.
