Oh no - am I the only person who cannot do this @gennepherI use a tip of a small spoon, and that is it....
Yes, I also look for nothing else added - especially no palm oil.2 good desert spoons probably <30 gms according to this. Naturally, I've never weighed to test2 well loaded ones for breakfast this morning but I analysed for 40 gms to be safe. More PB than I had ever eaten in my life before this year . I look for no palm oil, natch. Can never be too woke. Man like Alf told me.
I feel sick if i takes more than a teaspoon.Oh no - am I the only person who cannot do this @gennepher
Good to see you Lamont, life can get pretty difficult at times. I hope you manage to control your new diagnosis of T2.This is new to me, been recently diagnosed with T2, along with RH. Hba1c 50!
Have returned to ketosis, already noticed the difference, in losing a couple of pounds.
So, the bad news is my fasting BG at 11am was 7.2!!!!!!(insert swear words to justify this)
Today, my day was filled with my daily chores and helping the wife. Then a little bit of garden tidying, as the wind was pretty rough yesterday, it was actually cold as well, back to March temps. My Lilys are gorgeous, orange flame, yellow so vivid. My roses so full of blooms, reds and pinks, my lawn is growing so quickly, verdant, thick and if I leave for a day or two, it will go to seed.
I still managed a couple of hours in the sun, while the wife was napping, then chicken breasts for dinner with a side salad. Watching the ne on onw Star trek series on paramount. ST Strange New Worlds.
Can't eat peanut butter and don't have breakfast! But we shared half a punnet of tasty strawberries, while keeping an eye on the test cricket this afternoon. Off to bed, soon, no doubt, the sun will be bright and sunny first thing!
I might go on about other things tomorrow, such as, how can the right be so wrong, logical and ethically?
Keep safe.

A bit late replying @gennepherI'm late because I had a medical procedure this morning. It did not go to plan, and has left me with pain and a few other problems. I could have done without this, as my daughter from Australia is coming in a few days.
Cucumbers are great pickled. Also look up recipes for cucumber soup and spritzers with lime, mint, elderflower et al. Sorbet? Not my cup of tea but I know some folk make them.29.06
9.00am FBG 6.6 oh!
Lemon tea then not the coffee I fancied.
Try again shortly
The collared ove fledgling disappeared some time yesterday afternoon. Haven't seen it or the parents since so am assuming all is well.
This morning the black redstart chicks have fledged, they can fly fairly well and the parents are very busy feeding them. Its raining, just a light drizzle, even if according o my weather app its cloudy with only a 10% cha ce of rain later in the day. Water cube is getting a trickle and filling very slowly.
Am feeling pleased with myself because last night i went outside,, picked all the ripe raspberries, and got them in the freezer. If left they would be going either over or mouldy. The bad sunburn n the heatwave meant much reduced watering and a lot of the raspberry canes are showing the effects. Many have died back producing only tiny little fruit.
I still need to water some pots this morning, after that am going to try pickling gherkins. Still don't know what to do with excess cucumbers. Cucumber granite? Icecream? chilled soup? Pickles? Have got four plants. It seems they are like courgettes, generous with their fruit. We also have excess courgettes. Already! Only one plant this year to try and prevent that. But am looking forward to making ratatoiulle with all home grown veg

Hug and win at the same time. Much joy for that skilful surgeon. Life is good - ish. I have a few issues with Arthur Itis, such a nuisance. All sorts of daft ideas to tackle it online but movement works best for me. Keep the shiny side up.A dark & dingy 7.3 this morning .
Biblical rain here Wednesday night...looks a drier day today.
Meeting up with nephews & Steph later, first social event since our holidays ...looking forward to it immensely.
Mixed bag this week.
Saw plastic surgeon for post op assessment other day. (19 months in )
Simply confirmed prev experts opinion that healing has ended.
And likely arthritis is what's causing the degeneration in knee.
Interesting point cleared up.
(I know it's not for everyone, but I'm one who thrives better 'knowing how something works' )
As he examined scars, ( he was yet another doctor marvelling at the surgeons skill...so I'm going to have to accept so many positives as a good sign, & thank my lucky stars for that surgeons skills )
He explained how skin from forearm was used to cover the hole left by all the flesh that had died or was lost due to contamination from the gravel etc, in & on the leg.
The 'flap' as they call it, is the size of your hands palm, yet my forearm scarring is from wrist to elbow.
He explained that while it looks like skin only, it's the entire layer of flesh below it that's gets transplanted. , and that requires veins to feed it in its new location ...( Makes sense, once I thought about it sensibly )
But as leg was so severely damaged,
( Scar above flap is where bone broke through the skin, so not a suitable site ) the only places for the 'feed' for the new vein to be plumbed in had to be higher up my leg then desired.
Hence why my arm scar is so extensive, as they needed a longer amount of vein than desirable, but that did increase the chances of a successful transplant ...which it did TG.
So, once again, every day's a school day.
Hope you all have as good a day as I'm expecting to have
Love.
Sounds a perfect sort of day.In The Bubble stayed over last night so probably a walk into town taking in the swing park and then toast in her favourite cafe before going to nursery for her afternoon session.
Was that one that was driven through an elastic band?Sounds a perfect sort of day.
The cars. .
5 over the years , so you must like them a lot.
Early ones seem a small engine, presumably the later ones offer a more relaxed drive ?
And drifting ....seriously ?
Wouldn't want to in one doing that..
Enjoy the new wheels
