What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)


Thank you for posting this lovely landscape.
 
Brilliant...I absolutely love this.
It reminds me of walks I used to take with J a couple of decades ago.
 
Morning All. 5.1 today after a very nice cheese & tomato omelette last night.
@Muddy Cyclist thank you for the hedgerow painting it is so lovely especially the wild flowers. @SlimLizzy hug for the bare cupboards, not a nice position to be in. Hope you can find a way to get supplies. @gennepher lovely emojis especially the cherry blossoms. Not sure what today brings in my world. Have been out to feed Mr and Mrs Fuzz and there is a ground frost.
Hope you have a good Wednesday. Stay/get well, stay safe.
 
Morning prick, scan or read the tea leaves and tell massive. This is all very jolly. 5.2 was displayed on the meter screen - absolutely no certainty my bg was anything like that. If indeed that was true I certainly couldn't honestly tell you how that transpired. Other people will no doubt explain it all to me because, you know, they really, really, know my body and my needs so much better than I. Then there's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis - has a mate who wrecks 5g phone masts. Lovely couple who seem to know so much and always willing to share their knowledge on social media.. Great painting @Muddy Cyclist. @SlimLizzy not sure about the fierce urgency of now for the bike ride but if deemed essential take care.

Straight 6.0 this morning and the sun is blazing, garden time once again


@OldButBold good to see you around!

Been a bit Choppy with the North South devide banter. What about us lot in the middle?

Faggots and Peas anyone?

Thank you

We Midlanders are always north of someone and south of someone else, that's why we are so balanced. I admit to loving faggots, there are some in the freezer right now sitting alongside the frozen peas
 
Recycle - you know it makes sense
 

Glad it went well and an excellent recipe. Don’t know if I would brine for four hours but I expect it would give a good outcome. Respectful preparation and cooking would have contributed to tenderness. Waste not, want not, your country needs you.
 
Yea I don't think you have pease pudding in your neck of the woods either - its made from split peas and bacon bones or ham shank stock. Oh you are missing so much. Drool, Drool.
Don’t forget carlings - love a bowl of carlings with bacon and vinegar - and they don’t have to be restricted to just one day a year.
 
Need to end this soon but personally I wouldn't ever call the meat from a pork chop tender. - able to tolerate maybe? I googled carlings so thanks. I would swerve the bacon but vinegar is high on my list of God's blessings.
 
Good morning everyone from spit between bright sunshine and chilly air in the dark and dangerous north

The wonder wheel of fish and chorizo a la Galicia rumbled out at 4.1 this am

The blond orang-utan across the pond, together with his 4 year old pals is now blaming the WHO for all his ills. Baba O’Riley will be fuming. Such a teenage wasteland.

My mother called yesterday from her home in France - shortage of flour and now yeast. Luckily she made a starter a couple of weeks ago and hoping to get more flour today. @SlimLizzy - are you still able to get flour and yeast. This website might be of some use: https://www.offthegridnews.com/off-grid-foods/prepper-baking-101-making-your-own-yeast/

We are sprouting beans on the window sill - early days - must remember to rinse them often. Seeds collected in France last year also sitting snug in cut up loo roll centres - not trying to grow new loo rolls but wondering what will eventually grow.

Excellent artwork @gennepher and @Muddy Cyclist - thank you.

Best get on with my busy day, Have as wonderful a day as you can. Koffy calls.

Ooh yes forgot about carlings, used to love carlings but have not had them for a long time, when I tried to look to buy some, I could only find them being sold as chicken food which put me off a bit.
 
I can now taste delicious steak and kidney suet pudding in my mouth. Yum Yum. Where's that pressure cooker.
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who morn the banning of natonal bin day celebrations.

A little 6.7 this morning and the thought process hmmmm passed through my tiny minds. Watch that meter.

I don't know about you folks, but my day, if allowed by Mrs J will be filled with the smell of wood preservative, felt, wood kickboards and if time permits electrickery.
Now I must sign out and go and comit plinky plonky, a little bit of ragtime music on my keyboard then orf into the garden.
I do hope all you folks have a great day, remember we pass this way but once unless we are caught in a time loop and or can skip dimensions.
Stay well, stay safe and stay home.
 
Beautiful. This is so much my comfort zone.
