Halloumi chips/fries are made from halloumi cheese, which is fairly tasteless but can be spiced up with different flavourings - there are lots of recipes online. Halloumi fries are trendy here. In the UK they are sold in supermarkets too.

Banoffie pie I do know, because someone was eating it in Love Actually. And within a year or two of seeing that I had met a lovely big banoffie-colored horse named Banoffie.

Halloumi is a hard cheese that needs to be cooked. It’s usually a Cypriot cheese in origin and has some mint in but it doesn’t have strong flavour. I cut into chip shapes, dip in beaten egg and then coat in mix of almond flour ( ground almonds) and spices they are then fried I use ghee as it gets to high temp without burning,
 
Good morning all
4.8 bg today
Im going out for a determined Christmas shopping day today in Birmingham! List is ready and want to sort out bulk of gift stuff that I get from shops rather than online. Have fair bit of work and other stuff to fit in before Christmas so would be good to have it sorted.
Hope everyone has a good day and bgs behave themselves.
 
Good morning all, my numbers this morning match the weather, horrible a 14.7, I went to bed on a 4.7! Can some one stop the Train? I want to get off, another day of playing catch the monkey, or putting the genie back in the bottle. Diabetes does nothing other than make us determined.


Take care everyone.

Hello all. Blood sugars were 5.0 this morning.

@Debandez -- Well done on your HbA1c in the 30s and on enjoying your night out. Happy anniversary.
@ianpspurs -- Is it possible that your strips are a bit dodgy? There have been a lot of posts regarding a batch of codefree strips.

Have a great day, folks.

Morning All. 7.1 at 07.45 and I have to say I am not surprised though I ate only a couple of forkfuls of food yesterday lunchtime. I just couldnt handle the cold weather yesterday even though I was wrapped up. I just felt chilled to the bone and wanted hot drinks but not food. Shivered all night and kept adding layers. Hope it passes cos I have too much to do.
Have a good day everyone. Stay well, safe, hypo free and warm!
 
Just tested - fasted for 12-13 hrs - meter wants me to believe a 7. Somewhere along the line something is very wrong - meter, strips, body, diet or all of them. I can eat Panettone and be surprised at that level. Only silver lining is I am not type 1 so no need for insulin corrections.

Ian I am so frustrated on your behalf. Unless you are coming down with something it makes no sense to me. Unless you are getting your self over stressed. Hope things improve for you. Sending hugs.
