Hubby had fried chicken last night from a well known chicken emporium.. I looked in the bucket and you know I had a piece.. or was it 2? ! It was 2 ! Have a lovely day chums !

@Goacher55 I am beginning to really warm to your turn of phrase - chums. How very Enid Blyton:):) Beware the pitchfork carriers after that clinic epithet.:arghh:
Here is an alternative to the KKKs fave takeaway if you fancy trying an LC alternative http://www.hemsleyandhemsley.com/recipe/pablos-chicken/ celeriac chips and "jobs a good 'un" as no one ever said:angelic:

Morning all 5.6 for me this morning. Raining here so packing away the shorts and sandals and finding the weatherproofs....

@OrsonKartt That is real project fear stuff - shame on you sir. Shorts and sandals means shorts and sandals - take back control at once. That is not rain, it is the biased fake news media alternative facts - just you go out and see. Now, pull yourself together man. Next April we will all be eating Unicorn eggs for breakfast:angelic:

Morning...up at just after 5am (again)...two cups of coffee in & just starting to readjust to the waking world...switched on the news with Theresa May tripping the 'light fantastic' in Nigeria...may need to go back to bed after that...still I expect it will have made all those 'dad' dancers feel so much better about themselves...perhaps we should include those 'steps' in our Brexit negotiations it could make all the difference.;)

Nothing wrong with Theresa May being in Africa trouble is at some point she's going to come back unless she encounters a very hungry lion on a LCHF diet which would only be natural for a carnivore.

@ding79 Over 3 years of readings recorded in my mega spreadsheet book show first 2 readings of the day considerably higher than all others. So, do what Frankie says. As long as all readings trend down it's all gravy:angelic:

Thanks Ianpspurs. Low carb gravy obviously?

@ding79, the low carb gravy seriously took about 2.5 years to get right and was a very big issue for me and Mrs P - who was in charge of implementing my experiments Right up there with how do I live in a world with no bread since Lidl withdrew those rolls?:arghh:

She has to come back John... after all someone has to take the blame for the possibility of a 'no deal' Brexit ...I think Boris Johnson & Jacob Rees Mogg et al will make every effort to effect her safe return...she is after all the most convenient 'whipping boy' the conservatives are ever likely to have:banghead:
 
good afternoon all :)

4.4 today

was up quite early this morning but the internet connection wasn't good when I tried to post, however BT are working along the road just now so we hope for better ;)

two walks yesterday and will be off for another shortly, lovely mild and sunny day today so have to make the most of it :) especially since tomorrow morning is the fasting blood draw for my 6 monthly diabetic check.

@ianpspurs the pork is excellent (well I had to test it to make sure it is ok didn't I?), and has now been carved up and stowed away for future use. I agree that low carb gravy is not easy. Thank you for your kind thoughts yesterday, much appreciated. I think of people like yourself and other friendly souls here as brothers in arms too :)
 
With regard to the sandals and socks conundrum previously discussed I happened to be sat on a seat on a corridor of Kingsmill hospital this morning when a doctor type person walked past me wearing sandals with blue socks where does that fall in the sartorial spectrum I wonder.

Yes, the bread issue is bothering me still. HiLo doesnt seem to cause too many problems for me when toasted but its not a replacement for a baguette. This weekend im going to experiment with a yorkshire pudding which is a much more important issue for me!

Been there, done that and gave up. Save Yorkshire pudding for Christmas day as a cheat treat. Yorkshire only works for me cooked under a large beef joint. Hard or crispy Yorkshire is a total waste of food, energy and effort IMHO.
