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

Oh no! Not chopped sandwiches! Whatever next. Mind you, we do have a Tamagoyaki square omelette pan and enjoy Rolled omelettes
 
Don’t apologise. Writing it all down and throw it out into the world. It may help you get it off your chest.
 
Dementia is an awful thing. It is far worse for the carer than for the sufferer because the sufferer is not really aware of the effects of what they are doing nor aware that they have said the same thing or asked the same question many times before. The strain can be massive on those who care for dementia patients. Then, eventually, very often that sufferer doesn't even remember their carer or trust them, never mind the years that have bound them together or the common interests they once had. It is hard to be dismissed from a loved one's life.

Talking, or writing about the distress it all causes, is healing and not something to be shy or embarrassed about. Of course, you should write about these things to your friends here. Some of us have been unfortunate enough to have been there already and some of us may yet have that to come. We can all support each other and we can learn from each other, so do keep on posting. All of us here are happy to be a sounding board for you.

Chopped omelette - how woke is that? . Mind you, Diet Dr (and other lc/keto collections) gives the TikTok creations a run for their money in most folks (outside this silo) eyes'. Cabbage casserole anyone? What's that about people who live in glass houses?

I first made these kind of omelettes years ago, when Tom bought a square pan home from somewhere or other. I'm not convinced that they are better than ordinary omelettes nor worth the extra effort, but it does allow for some variety I guess.
 
One thing that I learned from all the tests and prodding I have had of late is I have an allergy to of all things birds and in particular budgerigars how could I live 73 years in ignorance of such a thing and how could they determine such a thing.
This is awful news - stay away from Australia and Florida - and pet shops.

They do have a different texture. I add a splash of milk to my eggs before beating - for true Japanese (and Korean) texture the eggs need beating for quite a while and then passing through a sieve. I quiet like making them as I find cooking quite meditative.
 
Cabbage casserole - marvelous - and quite good for you. Lots of beard stroking pairing with a decent wine. Never mind there is always a glass of Poitín.
 
I didn't do the bit about passing the eggs through a sieve. Maybe that would have improved them.

Tom used to enjoy "Cabbage and Cheese" although I never really did. We had it quite often though. Haven't had it for years. These days I suspect it might cause me problems, as do other vegetables.

Memories of A Level English there. The Playboy of the Western World. Krautfleckerl minus the noodles and with pork knuckle is a much better choice. A good pure pot still whiskey to aid digestion - maybe not this* one. This guy has just the job we two and Mr K could job share.
* as if free delivery matters at that price.

I like some grated mature cheddar in my omelettes before I mix them and get my olive oil warm.I turn the pan off and it stays hot enough with a ceramic hob to cook them both sides.
