Morning all. The rest of the turkey mince with veg today and a couple of boiled eggs withmayo for tea. Have a good day all.

 

[Annb]

Breakfast: bacon and eggs. Finished with some Greek yoghurt mixed with some double cream to take my huge pile of pills with.

2nd meal will be: haddock goujons fried in a new crumb mixture I am going to try out. I think it is going to be my invention, but in the past, every time I have done something I have thought unique, I later find that someone else has done it as well, so no claims, especially since I haven't tried it yet.

I think it is going to be my invention, but in the past, every time I have done something I have thought unique, I later find that someone else has done it as well, so no claims, especially since I haven't tried it yet.

It was very tasty, but not as I had intended because I couldn't access my boxes of nuts and could only find cashews and then I went and put too much butter into the mix so it was a paste rather than a crumb. Small changes to make then. Good start though.

What I used was a big handful of cashews, some dill, some sea salt, some parmesan gratings, lemon zest, all ground up into a coarse powder and then went and spoiled it with a dollop of butter whizzed in rather than the melted butter added bit by bit to get the crumble consistency I was looking for. Next time, other nuts and less butter and done properly.

I'll make up for the lack of veggies tomorrow: Lidl sold 750 grams of white asparagus for only Є2,50, which I'll have with my neighbour, and I fully expect we'll finish the bag between the two of us.

They're rather thin so I'll have lots of peels. I've never made asparagus soup before, but it may be just the thing to make for next week.
So what is your go to asparagus soup recipe, I can use some tips!

Yesterday was lots of asparagus with slices of ham, hard boiled eggs mashed with butter, and a small pork chop provided by my neighbour.

I had a plan for today with an experimental asparagus and nettle soup but life got in the way and I ended up with a LC sandwich with ham after catching chickens at one of my neighbours.
A generous portion of chicory and hummus, and pork scratchings with aioli will be had in bed shortly.

I've also been hauling wood with my neighbour, and with my basal still being too high I was very happy with the gift of portion sized bags of crisps today (https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/what-have-you-eaten-parallel-chat.177870/post-2699163), one small bag throughout the day did the job of mostly keeping me above 4 despite unplanned wood hauling and chicken catching!

edit: Oh, I even made a picture of yesterdays meal, I completely forgot but here it is.

Morning all. I have a chicken leg (air-fried) plus cauli and broccoli and also 2 Jersey Royals for lunch. For tea, beetroot, celery, radish, spring onion, raw cauli, sauerkraut and 1 small slice 50/50 bread with butter. I have a jar of Kimchi but it has a lot of chilli in it and my digestion can't cope with chilli so it's going back to it's donor! (It was a present). Have a lovely sunny Sunday everybody.

Bacon is on for my breakfast - have to figure out how to get to the back porch fridge to get some eggs out - Neil has been working out there again and the doorway is impassable for me.

There's a pork shoulder joint in the oven cooking slowly for another meal later in the day. Might dare to have some vegetable or other with it - those are in the back porch fridge as well but there's quite a selection there, if I can get to them..

 

[IanBish]

For lunch today I had a sirloin steak, with steamed carrots, broccoli, green beans and sprouts, with fried mushrooms.

@MrsA2 what is sea soup? I’m intrigued.

It's a spicy fish soup, very tasty. And doesn't affect my bg too much. Never seen it anywhere else
