Sliced mushrooms with a couple of spoonfuls creme fraiche and blue cheese melted into it. I had it last year (when we were allowed to go out), it was lovely, really tasty. So when we got back i looked it up. Its lovely with steak but you could have it over anything really.

Thanks, headache I have just now is torture! There was the lad that the pill poppers were looking for that the neighbours never did a thing wrong! What the hell would he know about the noise me and my mum have to put up with? He's at the other side of the block in a top floor flat so has no idea what we go through everyday! Prat! xx

It sounds like a really popular Asturian (Northern Spanish) dish - the sauce is made with the local blue cheese, called Cabrales. Really rich, but really yummy...enjoy!

You could try substituting blue cheese for any other strong flavoured one. I don't like blue cheese on its own but it does taste good melted into food. X

Ooh sounds like it. This is quite rich so you only need a bit.

I suppose you'll be telling us next that you don't like Marmite. :D😛

I can’t stand blue cheese either: it’s the thought of eating mouldy cheese! Yuck moji!

Now I DO understand how that polarises people: upon first trying it I HATED it as SUPER strong beef brovil; BUT, I do like brovil, the beef & NOT the yeast one which IS vile, so gave it a few more goes! Eventually found a way of eating it I DO like: spread very thin, about an eighth of a teaspoon, over a layer of butter, to help it glide, on toast; a jar can last me for AGES like that! 🙄o_O😛:D
 
10:42 BS 8.7 that’s what I get after a very long lie in this morning: must have needed it as I went to bed as usual ish around 18:00 last night; still woke at my usual 05:00 ish though but, went back to sleep as I felt sluggish! 🙄 I think I’m fighting something again as BS was rising yesterday, not by much, but, a bit higher & I stuck the midnight LR back up +4 last night!

Watched the next episode of Amazing Hotels last night & it was in @Northerner Alan’s neck of the woods in Yorkshire, The Swinton Estate hotel outside Masham in east Yorkshire, the country estate home of Lord & Lady Masham! I’m not that clued up on GB geography, I’m afraid , as my siblings living over there tell me all the time but, is that anywhere near Harrowgate? 😳🙄 The entire 200 acre estate is available to hotel guests & non residents alike as there’s a whole range of activities you can do from 10 minutes free starter classes to the full lessons in things from falconry, fly fishing, birdwatching etc.😎🙂

A late ish Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

PS:- I did indeed not make the final weekend round in the golf: the stormy weather has abated somewhat this morning while still raining hard but, the damage was done; the patchy wifi booted me off a few times & you get a bogey +1 for forfeiting, appealing for lost of connection changes the score, it can only be changed to par 0 which is still disastrous! :( Ah well! That’s the peril of overhead phone lines on NI’s Causeway Coast!o_O

That's OK. More for those of us who do enjoy it, although interestingly I used to hate it until the last couple of years since diagnosis. Changing my diet changed my tastes and I now enjoy savoury and bitter foods much more whereas before I just wanted sweet, sweet and more sweet!
 
5.9 for me today which looks pretty good but not ideal getting there....
I had a third nocturnal hypo in a row last night.... 4am again! Really surprised as I didn't take any evening Levemir at all and the last Fiasp I had was at 1.38pm yesterday afternoon with lunch. Granted I went to bed a little lower than usual on 6.3 but with no evening Levemir, I fully expected that to rise not fall. Anyway, I just had 2 Lift tabs and that brought me up to 5.9 when the alarm went off at 7am.
I cut back my morning Levemir by one unit to 17 (as I was still needing corrections yesterday, so didn't want to drop it too low). Shot myself 2 units of Fiasp to cover DP/FOTF and headed out to feed and muck out horses. An hour later I was 4.4 and dropping fast so had 2 JBs. Another half hour later, still feeling wobbly and was at 3.5 so had another 2 JBs. Half an hour later 10.4 with a vertical upward arrow.... FOTF was obviously napping this morning and then kicked in hard and fast 2 hours late! Shot myself 4 units of Fiasp and headed home to get breakfast. Started eating breakfast in good time (5.5) but dropped into the red again and had to have some more Lift tabs on top of breakfast to bring me back up. Pleased to report I have eventually levelled out mid 6s. Huge relief! Can I get off the roller coaster now please!

@Gwynn Congrats on yet another House Special! They just become House Regulars if you get them too often you know!!
 
G'day all. 7.5 @ 4.09 but then went back to bed after 3 eps of The Sopranos, till 11.30! Have a good day all.

We're watching a stupid war film, Iron Fury! Mum's gripped but it's annoying the heck outta me. They keep using the word 'skills' and are too modern.

probably wouldn't help, my laptop logs me out as soon as I shut it down at nights and my phone does as soon as I switch the internet off xx
