Yes, definitely experiencing a very common issue members have. Consider yourself perfectly normal but very confused.

Afternoon...this morning's waking number was 5.8...it's late because I have been slumming around all day...in the comfy chair watching re-runs of the Great Comic Relief Bake Off...and making sugar free jellies to eat with squirty cream

I hear the new season of Bake Off is going vegan.

I haven’t tried that but it’s the same novorapid pen stick thingy I used the last 2 days

It’s a good idea though so will get another or stick from the fridge and try it out

Thanks

Not exactly low carb to some but I eat it now and again and it doesn't spike me overly much though each slice is a bit on the thin side

the above gives it 7.5 grams per slice but is more like 9 gms according to the packaging.

Personally I would go cream tea but swerve the jam as commercially made jam seems to come from a different planet to proper jam.

@rhubarb73 But obviously, as you are in Cornwall, if you do have jam, it should go on the bottom. ( @jayney27 might disagree though)

Me and you both

I have never really bothered too much about which goes first, however, I have always preferred to put my cream first then the jam. Now I don’t eat cream teas so it matters even less. I was tempted a little while ago at my favourite tea room, they make amazing scones, my favourite was made with pieces of ginger which they served with pear and ginger jam. I treated myself to a takeaway scone and thought I would try half served with just cream, not as nice as I remembered and I certainly didn’t like the result when I tested BG so scone no more for me.
