Morning all.... another unsettled day with teeming rain followed by sunny spells.
6.5 this morning which is a huge improvement on the last 3 days, during which time I've had a mare with BGs,Tuesday night I spent most of the time with a -55% basal on and was still dragging along the floor alternating between 4.1 and 3.9 with alarms seemingly every few minutes waking me. BGs have been either too high or two low the whole of the time our friends have spent with us.
Mind you, I have been eating and drinking well out of my normal comfort zone. Monday night we served foie gras with melba toast, confit duck legs with Sarladaise potatoes ( which did not come out how I wanted as I was trying them out in the air fryer), chantenay carrots, peas and buttery leeks. Followed by a selection of French cheeses... did not get round to my creme brulees, though luckily I hadn't caramelised the tops. We then went out for a pub lunch of tapas on Tuesday and a wander round town. Tuesday night we had pan fried pheasant breasts in a wine and mushroom sauce, with parmesan broccoli done in the air-fryer (that did come out OK). Followed by the creme brulees properly caramellised on top. Weds we went into Mousehole on the bus and had sausage baguettes in the Ship Inn. Bus home and a wander round the Range before going to the local pub for meal. I could only manage the Salmon fishcake starter... home to eat up the chocolate and Tia Maria pots that should have been eaten on Tue. This morning a cooked brekkie for all before their long drive home. I can now have a rest as there are enough leftovers for dinner tonight. I love cooking, but it takes it out of me at my age now.
It was a delight to have the friends staying as we are very much on the same wavelength and did nothing but laugh the whole of their visit and the icing on the cake was missing the nasty heavy showers whenever we were out. Oh and they left me with an enormous kilo box of JBs as they had been finding childlike delight in pinching mine each time I had to get them out.
@Lily123 huge congratulations on both the HS and Hba1c.
Have a good day all of you..... look after yourselves and most important of all be kind to yourselves.
