Very sensible holiday rules there @rhubarb73 Hope those Cornish treats live up to expectations.
Clotted cream in abundance though. Yum.
Very sensible holiday rules there @rhubarb73 Hope those Cornish treats live up to expectations.I'm having a pasty! Whatever my score is I'm having at least half of one while I'm there (I may share it with my boy).
I've made a list of Cornish carby treats on offer and what I will and won't allow myself occasionally on my hols:
Pasty - yes
Fish in batter - yes
Chips - no
Beer - the odd pint yes
Ice cream - no
Scone - maybe half with cream but with fresh berries instead of jam
Cider - no
Holiday rules for two weeks only.
Don't really know much about Cornwall. I did like Padstow - probably because I like Rick Stein. The place did seem to be a twin for Southwold in a kind of poser's paradise way. Strangely, I like both.Very sensible holiday rules there @rhubarb73 Hope those Cornish treats live up to expectations.

I love Southwold, and Woodbridge (and Aldburgh). I think I was weaned on Adnams (which may be part of my problem). Am also a fan of Rick Stein - not sure if I'll get to Padstow (sorry @alf_Josiah ) - have been before and eaten in his restaurant. This time I think we will stay close to our digs in St Ives - plenty to do around there and after the last few months I want a stress free time just enjoying the company of Mrs Rhubarb and the two little sticks of Rhubarb.Don't really know much about Cornwall.

Have a great time @rhubarb73 . By coincidence, I live very near St Ives - Cambridgeshire.I love Southwold, and Woodbridge (and Aldburgh).

Sometimes the opposite can happen with fbgs it can go down after eating a high fat very low carb breakfast rather than keep climbing up which is what happens to some non breakfast eaters. Suppose it’s individual.After reading about you breakfast abstainers I’m feeling guilty about eating after my 9.4 FBG. But I’m getting too skinny!
Thanks @geefull that brought a smile to my facegood morning all
4.6 today
wet and windy today here and threw it down with rain all night, looked out at 06.00am saw the weather and went back to bed.
Found an under bed box with woollies in it yesterday in the spare bedroom so I'll sort that out today and go for a walk later if/when the weather improves.
@Debandez I like a carvery meal too and we usually have one when I go to visit my sisteryou started out the day at 5.5 and were 7.3 after the meal that's only a rise of 1.8 so within 2 points, plus the theraputic value of the no cooking = bonus
oh but in this hottest of hot weathers a glass of Pastis smothered in ice and ice cold water represents IMHO the flavour of the day presented in an uplifting way ...... mind you looks like we are past the sell by date for this years weather..... back to drinks of cooler climates perhaps,,,,,@OrsonKartt You are a man of good taste. I like your exploration except Pastis. I generally find almost anything French is to my liking but they let me down there. Now, an evening with Cognac, Armagnac or Calvados is a very good way to see out winter.
Bit late to all this....washing, cleaning, ironing done. The wine could be the swine especially as its rose (albeit a dry one) but I know peanuts dont suit me. They were useful once in a pub when I couldnt eat but they are now banned from home. You bring home a large bag of KP and they are too morish. Winter time or anytime soon I drink red wine but I must say themost suitable drink for me is Bombay Sapphire and slimline tonic and very refreshing with lots of ice. My OH likes to go to the pub Saturday teatime for a couple of pints of real ale but I usually decline because its all Fevertree tonic, they do seem to have cornered the market. As for whisky and brandy thats for the Christmas cake which I cant have either!oh but in this hottest of hot weathers a glass of Pastis smothered in ice and ice cold water represents IMHO the flavour of the day presented in an uplifting way ...... mind you looks like we are past the sell by date for this years weather..... back to drinks of cooler climates perhaps,,,,,
Mrs P originally wouldn't drink spirits neat but over 33 years I have educated her to enjoy single malts neat. She has taken to Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold although she is greatly attached to G and T. As for pubs, ever since I stopped playing team sports I have not stepped foot in one except for rare forays to eat. Pub going is high on my list of regrets in life.t.

Think there must have been flour used to make the sauce in the one that raised my bgs they also often use milk. Bit different to my usual lots of double cream @nd strong cheese that I make at home
Request for information/help please. MFP on the fitbit app doesn't breakdown fat in foods into sat fat and non sat fat. I am looking for an app that will do this but also allow me to store custom meals - MFP is good for that. Proviso is probably needs to be chromebook friendly but at a push I would use an ipad. I do have a smartphone but that is really for decorative purposes.
Thanks
Thanks @Goonergal I will have a lookI use Lose It. Can customise meals and break down fats. Very American, but I’ve been able to adapt it. No idea whether if works on chromebook.
Reminds of Red Dog in my childhood which was officially called lunchen meat. Cheap alternative to sliced ham for sandwiches. It was a strange red colour and I am not sure how much meat was in it!Potted dog sandwiches a plenty I hope
