[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2421820, member: 25851"] Early start today - Neil had an appointment for a blood test at 9 am so, if I wanted to go and check out the new fish shop, I had to get moving. Decided to have a banana milk shake for breakfast. BG was already a bit high, so took the normal insulin that I would take with a full meal and that kept it under control for most of the morning, although it did rise to 10.1 by the time we got home. The fish shop had mussels! And it had tuna steaks. So lunch was mussels. The ones I ate were brilliant but out of 21 mussels in the bag I bought, 15 were not good - wouldn't close when tapped and another one didn't open when cooked. I had 3 and kept the rest for Em, who told me she wanted to try them. Her Mum has a thing about fish of any kind, so it is never an option at home. So now I have some finely chopped vegetables which provided the broth to go with the fish, left over. Not particularly fishy even though I put a little fish sauce in it. Neil bought me some skinless chicken thighs in the supermarket, so I might re-use the broth as a stock for braising the chicken for a proper meal later. Trouble is, of course, that I am hungry now - 3 mussels is not exactly a meal, especially after a milk shake breakfast. [/QUOTE]
