It's been quite a weekend as we have had friends staying.
Friday dinner: Za'atar roasted tomatoes with Labneh balls (Greek yogurt mixed with salt and strained through a sieve overnight then rolled into balls) with flatbreads. Followed by Pomegranate and honey meatballs with roasted aubergines topped with almond sauce and some saffron Pilau rice. All from Sabrina Ghayour's "Simply" book. Home made passion fruit ice cream from our own passion fruits with a sauce made from bought passion fruit.
Saturday
Breakfast: Slice of toast with marmite.
Lunch in Truro with my g/f in a cafe that had turned vegetarian since my last visit. Falafel sandwich on granary bread (mistake, sent BGs soaring!).
Dinner: Roast Picanha of beef with garlic butter, jacket potatoes that I had scooped the middles out of, mashed them with garlic and herb soft cheese then piled them back into the shells and topped with cheddar then baked in the oven. Green beans and asparagus. BBC Good Food's recipe for "failsafe" chocolate fondants. Made them twice now and they really are failsafe.
Sunday:
Breakfast: slice of toast.
Lunch in the Mexico Inn: Slow roasted brisket with all the trimmings (roast pots, yorkshire pud, creamed leeks, cabbage, roast carrot and peas). Followed by spiced custard with caramellised apple and roast figs.
Latish supper: Selection of Italian cooked meats (salami, bresaola and parma ham), Brie, Gorgonzola and cheddar with dates and a part baked Ciabatta loaf.
Don't forget I am T1 with insulin to help, but BGs have been haywire since Saturday lunchtime! Now back to my normal diet fingers crossed!
