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

I am experimenting for the first time with roasting vegetables. I found a couple of good recipes online.
Now if the other sites would just agree on whether or not olive oil is good for you or not, and how, if its smoke point really is 410 degrees, it is safe in a 425-degree oven.

The vegetables are smelling very good at this moment.
 
Vegetables roast very well with olive oil and a light sprinkle of dried herbs or spices if thats your fancy. One of my favourite and frequent meals is chunks of aubergine (egg plant) red onion and a few fresh tomatoes halved drizzled with OO and baked spread out on a flat tray at 180 degrees (not sure how that converts to US ovens, maths never my strong point) for about 25 mins. I imagine harder veg take longer eg squashes. You can just stick a fork in to check when ready. Delicious.
 
Oh thats lovely MC like @SaskiaKC I would love to lean on the bridge and watch the water flowing through on a glorious summer evening. I have zero abilities in art but I used to and still do love good colouring pencils. Used to love colouring books with the boys on wet days in the summer hols. Might revert to doing it in my dotage.
Have a great eveningwith the quartet.

Congratulations to yourself and Mrs T. You do realise you have set the bar very high for the rest of us.
 
5.4 this morning, 4.3 this evening before supper. I have also got my laptop back and its working beautifully, so going to go back through the posts now to read what you guys have been doing today.
 

Absolutely right. And frustrating. I have mitral valve prolapse syndrome dysautonomia (dysfunction of my autonomic nervous system) which means my fight-or-flight mode is almost always revving, rarely idling.

Hugs @SaskiaKC
I have mitral valve prolapse too, diagnosed 2006. It makes me very tired.
 

Storm Dennis! Hahaha that’s going to be a terror! Love ‘hang on to your slippers’ I can just imagine everyone’s slippers swirling round like autumn leaves in the wind.
 

Finally confirmation of the death of Dr Li

some confusion over previous post re his demise.
RiP.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/



Edit: found this ok n the above link report under AGE.

" Considering that SARS ended up infecting 5,237 people in mainland China, Wuhan Coronavirus surpassed SARS on
January 29, 2020, when Chinese officials confirmed 5,974 cases of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV).
One day later, on January 30, 2020 the novel coronavirus cases surpassed even the 8,096 cases worldwide which were the final SARS count in 2003."

And 7th feb.2020 9 days later it had crept up by close on 25 thousand


Coronavirus Cases:
31,481
of which 4,824 (15%)
in critical condition

Congratulations to you both, as @ianpspurs said you have set the bar high, just so glad you didn't turn the heating up also, that really would have been a step to far.
 

Thank you. Your mix sounds delicious. Today I did broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots !!!), a small potato (don't tell anyone! ), tomato, yellow crookneck squash, and zucchini (courgette?). I skipped the OO but did sprinkle on some dried herbs. Very colorful, and very tasty.
Next time I will try the OO, for the sake of the pan!
