We’re away for a few days so eating out mostly. Yesterday breakfast at home of scrambled eggs and avocado.
Lunch. Small rump steak salad which was absolutely delicious.
Dinner at a Turkish restaurant was mixed meat mezze. Chicken wings, chicken kebab, lamb kebab, chicken and lamb koftas. Rice and chips and salad served too, Paul ate a few chips but there was so much meat they were superfluous.

Spicy food which is too hot. Nasty people who have no idea on your life journey but feel the need to comment and be cruel.
Coffee and cream x 2
Coffee and unsweetened almond milk
Cheese and tomato omlette
Cottage cheese and tomato

B- eggs and avocado again in our holiday cottage.
A wander round the local shops and back to the cottage for lunch of cheese and leftover Turkish kebab meat.
D- Out at a gastropub near where we’re staying. Local caught fish and chips on the menu but they happily did me a grilled fish ( hake) and salad instead of chips. I did eat rather too many

Didn't have the chicken legs because I forgot to get them out of the freezer!! So I had a smoked trout sandwich with 2 squares of 70% chocolate from Lidls. My son Paul is coming for breakdast which will be Bratwurst and eggs. Don't know what we are doing for lunch yet. Have a lovely day all. :happy:

Scrambled eggs and avocado for breakfast.
Lunch - a big family affair to celebrate my birthday last week and daughters this week. I bought a whole beef fillet and made beef wellington. (I didn’t eat the pastry of course) served with stringless green beans and cauli mash. Supposed to have steamed greens too but I forgot them ( found in the steamer after lunch!)
1 glass white wine this evening and a piece of cheese.

Food exactly the same as yesterday, but why does pizza, even LC ones, taste better reheated the following day?
New pic!
I forgot, what do you use as a pizza base?
I'm pretty sure it's something not available here but you never know...

Lunch at family weekend not suitable for this thread and not really suitable for my diabetes either.
Evening meal was a slice of lc toast with butter, marmite and cheese, and a couple of slices of liverwurst, shared with dogs and cats.
