@ Brunneria
Had you ever smelt durian before today.? I'm afraid I had a belly laugh reading that
At least Mr B liked the cheesecake. Not really got any recipe suggestions as all good ones are for non diabetics, it really is lovely with sweet sticky rice!!

There is no way that stuff is nice with anything! Pigstye and fruit combined! Yuck!!!

It worries me a little that Mr B actually enjoyed it. I told him it was a deep character flaw. He licked the spoon and smiled.

I live with a monster!

Mind you, the mangosteen are heavenly.

Very bad day today

Late breakfast of Porridge ( big bowl after yesterday's success) 2 hr post 9.7 no more of this.

Back down to 5.4 for late lunch @ 4pm which consisted of beef and tomato pot noodle, salt n vinegar hula hoops and a sausage roll, so why I was cursing at my 2 hr reading of 12.4 is anybody's guess.
Took dog out and decided to very brisk walk and go twice around the field, dog had no clue what I was doing as it's usually one lap, and I managed to lose her, how can a 14 yr old golden retriever disappear within a few seconds in an open field!! So spent next 45 mins odd running everywhere had 4 strangers also looking who eventually found her a mile from where I lost her.

Good exercise as my pre evening meal was 5.4, Som Tam and few pork scratchings, new batch of nut balls so had 3!! Tomorrow will be better.

Thanks for the welcoming :j yes, wursts are sausages, mine are filled with minced pork. They're retty good with some mayo and sweetened ketchup I find

Off topic....I just found these in my garden. They look like they might be edible and low carb

We have a mini forest/cat jungle in the corner and I planted some Aldi randomberries in there a few years ago and forgot about them. I say randomberries, as Aldi were selling packs of assorted fruit bushes, but they didn't have labels on them. Probably black or red currants.

Totally confused weekend as away at friends. Despite saying in advance I was diabetic, and low carbing supper was mainly bits to have with bread. I scraped innards from a small slice of quiche and ate my bodyweight in the cheese I'd taken. Breakfast I had strawbs and yogurt which was ok but spiked me more than a cooked breakfast would have but it was that or bagels. Home to bits and and chicken and chorizo stew from freezer with veg. Hiding upstairs as junior home from uni and tucking into fish fingers and oven chips. Thankfully he is going back tomorrow to tidy flat and sort dissertation out.

I know.
But most people simply cannot believe that there could possibly be anything wrong with bread. I mean... It's bread... It must be good for you...

I'll bet they didn't give you sugar though?

When I go away nowadays, I tend to have a secret stash in my luggage - a few 9 bars, nuts and seeds, choccie (70%), cheese strings...

Thank heavens you took that cheese with you! I'll have to remember that one.

Yes we had the conversation about weight, cholesterol carbs and fats as it was a university friendship group and we are all of that age when bits are failing but no one wanted to give up on the carbs despite one having very high cholesterol but not taking statins, one having thyroid problems and the other bloke, who has always ran, eaten well and been stick thin also told he needs statins as his cholesterol is too high. The reasons given were you need the energy source ( so how do the Inuit survive on mainly blubber) , you need to eat every food group in moderation and then eventually can't give them up because they taste so nice.

I just had a lovely steak with a large grilled mushroom topped with onion and halumi cheese, it was so nice. Never tried halumi cheese before. Lovely.

Yes, I think we can all identify. It usually takes some form of dire diagnosis before we listen, and the even longer before we actually DO anything about it. Human nature.

 

[Debmcgee]

Chipolatas and fried egg, coffee

2 lamb chops, broccoli mash (not good!), spinach with cream and garlic butter.

Jelly and cream with creamed coffee.

Chicken and cheese salad. The best salad ever thanks to my homemade dressing. Loved it!

You might have to invite your friends to Chez Ethyl to show them how a proper low carb supper should be done

Reminds me, I watched that film about LCHF in which the filmmaker was proactive about improving his health following his dad's T2 diagnosis. It was very inspirational. The film is usually pay per view, but is free this week if you fancy it. Indy's post #3 has the link

Ooh please share your salad dressing recipe please

 

[Debmcgee]

Sour cream, full fat mayo, dried chives, garlic granules, dash of olive oil, salt.

Have no idea what quantities I used - just kept chucking stuff in. It's best left in the fridge for about an hour so the dried ingredients rehydrate.

I can't believe I've been buying dressings and dips all this time, when actually, the Jamie Oliver in me conjured up something better!

Go me!!

Thank you! That dressing sounds amazing. It must be fate that I am growing chives this year

 

[Debmcgee]

Just add olive oil a dash at a time - think I used about a teaspoon for a dip container's worth.

I love soured cream. Fresh chives will be amazing!
