Finally succeeded making an omelette wrap

So, did any of them succeed in their ambition, and subsequently fail to win the Cup for us ever again? 😉 I actually wanted to be an author! I started writing my first book aged 8, along the lines of Blyton's 'Famous Five'/'Secret Seven' 🙂
Never heard of any of them, but I can still remember what the flag of Portugal looks like, because that's what I was assigned to draw in the class project we did! ( s'not fair, Portuguese flag is really complicated!)
 
Almost can't believe it. BG went from 9.0 to 7.0 an hour after omelette and now down to 6.0 at just under 2 hours. Maybe helped by clinging to the window frames, perched on top of 5 foot ladders changing curtains- especially scary when scared of heights.
Definitely trying that tomorrow ...will be cooking roast dinner for the 'others'...would kill for a 6 Carol...never had a flat 6.0 before...intending to get one though.

Fell off that wagon after and 6 is a not too distant memory. Scrambled eggs for breakfast I think and back to the kick up the bum by reading books again. Grrr. Slice of Birthday cake from granddaughter party sitting, so I think I will look at it and offer it as a gift to the bird feeder.
Disgusted yesterday when I emptied my kitchen cupboards, so today is freezer day. Enjoy making roast dinner bubbsie, I'm going to make soup and maybe Lynn Davis's recipe for cheeseburger loaf. Mmm

I know the feeling Carol...for couple of weeks been getting low 7's (good for me)...now been 8's and 9's...not aware I'm doing anything different...even went for a brisk walk yesterday...no improvement...back to the drawing board...GP on the 25th...for a review...so want to take my test reading record with me...not taking it if still in the 8's & 9's...can just hear him say 'told you not to test'...shame about the birthday cake...the birds...are you sure?

Couldn't face all that 'whisk action' this morning Carol...so settled for the obligatory fruit...how lazy is that?
 
I thoroughly enjoyed the omelette wrap. Having another one for work today! 🙂
Such a great idea.
 
Aged 10, all the boys in my class wanted to be professional footballers. The fact it was 1966 may have had something to do with it.

Some of us never lose that sporting ambition - at the age of 34 I still get the occasional dream (when I can remember them!) where I am playing for Wales....both rugby and footie though. Chris Coleman - if you're reading - I am available in November!

Oops - the point of my post was to say that I think I'll try the omelette wrap - how thin does it need to be though, maybe half a centimetre?

JPR a god! Cymru Am Byth
 
I used just one egg, so mine was wafer thin. I found adding ground linseed helped stengthen it. If it's too thick, it will break when wrapped.
 
I had just one egg with mine so very thin. Because it was overfilled with ham and salad it split whilst wrapping but that didn't effect the taste!
 
Will have to try it, that sounds like being much lower carb than two slices of Burgen with my lunch.

Bubbsie, perchance had you maybe started a new tub of strips? Sometimes that can cause a bit of variation.

Stress?
Poorer or less quality sleep?
Hormone cycle?
Irritation/anger/excitement (good or negatively so)
Hydration levels
Marginally increased portion size

Plenty of things can make a difference. It used to drive me bonkers, although less so now.

Hi AndBreathe...yes I have just started a new tub of strips...I had no idea that could cause a variation...and I haven't been drinking enough...trying to remedy that now...and walking...two brisk walks today...now BG down to 6.8 this evening...Thank you.
