People who think they know everything.
Back to normal working today, so:

Brunch: Lidl Protein Roll sliced in half and toasted with a can of sardines in olive oil mashed on top with a squeeze of lime juice. (Cos I understand sardines are a rich source of B12).

Work meal: Romaine lettuce, three cherry tomatoes, four spring onions and Asda Tikka sliced chicken breast and a tbs Hellmanns mayo

Somewhere in that lot will be three of my homemade truffles. (I will be glad when they've gone as all the while they are in the fridge or freezer they keep calling me.)

Been neglecting you all while focusing on my new Freestyle Libre toy - which is FAR better than sliced bread!

But am back now. Lol, ready for today's annual mince pie event. :woot:

Yesterday was:
B: coffee cream x2
L: warm crust less quiche
D: huge chicken thigh jalfrezi with cauliflower rice and sugar snaps at which point I sprawled on the sofa for 3 hours thinking I would burst. Fab.

HI @Brunneria I would be interested to read about your new FL toy, if you've posted else where.... sorry.

Yesterday was challenging. lol.

B: coffee, cream and a Full English. Second day in a row, and boy did I NOT need it. Ended up leaving more than half.
L: not needed
D: off to see the Star Wars film with good friend who REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted a KFC. Tried to dissuade her (our local KFC specialises in grease) but failed. So we rolled up and ordered a bargain bucket to share.
To my astonishment :wideyed: the chicken was excellent. Ended up eating lots, and half a portion of not-excellent chips.

Then I discovered that I had left my meter at home and couldn't watch the BG saga unfold...

But the film was good! ;)

Today has, so far, been a gentle inbibement of coffee and cream to let my bg flatline again... I shall enjoy some vegetables this evening. By the plateful.
