Morning all
Yesterday during our trip to London I may have consumed a burger in a brioche bun with polenta fries and a couple of glasses of wine at Jamie's Italian. Then at the theatre we had a VIP pack so we had a G&T as a welcome drink, then this in the interval

splash 0.5tsp sesame oil toasted tesco 22.5cals 0g carbs

Still tastes nice & a little bit sweet without the sugar! But, the balance is not quite right: a tinny wee bit too much salt. So, 0.5 oxo next time?

My sister came for a visit & we went to the seaside. Walked, shopped & ate out. They, sister & brother in law, were hungry, hadn’t eaten since breakfast! We ate at a well known, locally, restaurant & I ate with them even though I only had my testing kit in my handbag & didn’t have any insulin on me, hadn’t planned on eating out!

16:37 (BS 7.1) Dinner guessed 383cals 16g carbs
grilled salmon fillet 273cals0g carbs
sauté potatoes 110cals 16g carbs
tap water
17:45 (BS 9.1) just leaving.

Got home & injected 3 units Novorapid. Didn’t test again: knew it would be high because of the delay. Went to bed knowing the insulin would eventually do its thing! Out like a light, more or less, & slept through the night.
Was a little surprised at a decent figure this morning: 6.6! Put it down to the exercise: just over 5300 steps (forgot to sync the tracker with the phone before sleeping last night so, 200+ more than what I posted in the waking average thread).
I had a GREAT day yesterday! 🙂 😎 :D

I don’t like the idea of eating mouldy cheese!

Wonderful stuff :D
I think I have said this previously. My Chinese friends eat chicken feet, scorpions and all sorts of wonderful concoctions but they wil not eat Dark Chocolate or Cheese.
So, I am going to melt some chocolate and dip some blue cheese in it to coat it and tell them it is a famous UK delicacy and I will highly offended if they don't eat it.:D


editted typos as usual lol

My other half has been obliged to eat all sorts of 'delicacies' over the years in Malaysia. When a group came over here we took them to a fish and chip restaurant. First they are not really used to eating a meal like us, they usually have lots of small dishes to dip into. Secondly he insisted they have mushy peas, the guy who served us was a friend of our son's and he played up to it, saying it was a local delicacy and given to highly honoured guests in all the best places :D
