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

Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen and Troglodytes.

Busy early morning here in Tilehurst Towers and a 7.2 on the meter of misbehaving and naughtiness.

Me and me's had a telephone consultation with the liver specialist this morning and all my liver and kidney results are not a cause for concern, which after 28 years since my liver transplant and the horrendous concoction of drugs I take is OK in my book. My A1c has risen slightly, but again given the drugs I take is OK, if you're interested it was 58. Ah bless Prednisilone and Neoral.

Well fellow posters and painters have a great afternoon.
 
Again Afternoon, one or several of you asked what is flash mash @mojo37
Flash Mash or Cold Canon?

Boil potatoes with minimal seasoning, mash and then freeze for at least 24 hours.
Remove from the freezer and defrost.
Fry 1 or 2 leeks until soft in butter, while warming the mash potatoe.
Mix into the mash with seasoning to taste adding at least 1 teaspoon of English mustard.

Of course you can play around adding such delights as cheese, onions etc.
 
Brilliant - must get leeks
 
Good morning all. 9/11 has come round again overshadowed in many ways by COVID this year.
We were in Riverdale, New York visiting Mr K 's uncle and auntie when it happened. Virtually on the same day my daughter's future husband's brother was stabbed to death by a mentally Ill stranger in the UK. So it is definitely not a date we would forget.

But I do agree that it is overshadowed in many ways by Covid this year.
 
What a horrible day for your family. Hugs for the memories.
 
Fantastic news young man. Great week all round. Mrs A J voted stay then that phone call. Do the lottery sharpish.
 
Definately on his Fungships list of proscribed foods! I am shocked and surprised by your heresy, Alf! D.

 
Dry first thing so I spent the morning giving the back garden a hair cut. By 1130 it turned into a wet grass day and its been even wetter this pm.

Decided to make a list of all the admin I need to do this pm. It feels so much better when its on a list!
In the process of checking my paperwork I found two more lists that I had misplaced.

Don't do as I do, do as I say

The spuds must be either frozen overnight or in the fridge and then the carbohydrate injestion is modified.
 
Great news alf x
 
Great result, That's good news for you and your family.
 
My art bit. Caught up by finishing my watercolur painting which I started a few days ago. Then as I had missed doing art for 2 days took a leaf out of Mrs MCs book and with waterpencils, Pastel and a gold pen tried a stylistic flower.
Watercolour A4, Flower A3
