chicken that I cooked yesterday (or was it the day before?) I was going to add some vegetables to it and make a Chinese style chicken dish and have it with cauliflower rice but, just as I was having a break from the meeting, Em arrived with her Mum and Dad with an electrical job for Neil, so there was no time to cook, and now it's time to go back to the meeting. So, no 2nd meal today. Might grab a bag of crisps when the meeting is over.
What about just having the chicken as it is instead of the crisps? Should be tasty even cold and eaten directly from the fridge!
Or mix in some mayo and salt and pepper to make it even more tasty without having to cook.

Meeting just finished - BG is currently at 11.9 so I'll have to take some insulin and, therefore, eat something worth taking insulin for, ie chicken mayo - great idea.

Two egg cheese omelette, slice of midddle bacon, button mushrooms for breakfast.
Did not feel hungry, so just a glass of cordial and a scoopful of the good stuff to make me go, for smoko.
Curried lamb with a assortment of veggies from not quite empty bags in the freezer, onions, tomatoes and mushrooms. Just half the container of curry powder cooked in the slow cooker for a late lunch / early dinner.
Four bits of salty liquorice watching Blindspot on Netflix, this tv series was recommended by the nurse navigator when she came around home a couple of weeks ago.

Had the chicken mayo around 9 pm yesterday. It was fine, in that my stomach accepted it quite comfortably, but I've realised that I've gone off mayonnaise again.

Breakfast: around 11.30, roasted veg soup with quite a lot of cream in it.

2nd meal will be about 1/4 of a small cauliflower (that's what is left from the cauliflower Neil bought for me), roasted with spicy sauce.

Hoping for a phone call from my brother this evening, if he's feeling well enough.

What about using sour cream instead of mayo next time? Tastes just as nice without the taste of mayonnaise! :)

I bought a couple of Lindt 90% bars, to go into the Christmas lucky dip but I had a couple of squares from one of them a few days ago. Shouldn't have bothered, the sugar content made me feel pretty sorry for myself, fizzing away at the top of my stomach. I didn't think Em would like it, but I offered her some. And she loved it. The child is developing some pretty sophisticated tastes for a 9 year old.

Breakfast today: about 11 am - bacon and eggs.

2nd meal: will be beef ragout from the freezer.

DIL took Em to town to get her a boiler suit so that she can get under the floor and help Neil with the plumbing work he's doing. She loves to feel helpful.

Duck soup? Chinese style with Chinese cabbage, soy sauce and Chinese spices or with mushrooms, carrots and garlic.
Add to chicken stock to enrich it for chicken casserole or pot pie (without the pastry on top) or chowder.
