and I would totally accept any "fancy eating that, you dope" comments.

"should you be eating that" was actually offered by No.2 daughter. It really was nice though.
 
No, nothing like that. The crisis in this part of Spain is very bad, people eat everything and anything they can get their hands on so they eat all the grapes. On Sunday the campo is full of gunshots as the rabbit population is systematically thinned. Thank goodness that they breed like - well - rabbits!
 
I quite often have rabbit on the menu here as we're overrun with the blessed things and (shh, don't tell anyone but my uncle's a poacher). They make a great casserole.

Brekky: A slice of wholegrain nut bread (donated by a friend), toasted with grilled Toms. The ubiquitous tea.
Lunch: Corn chowder and another slice of the nut bread with Olivio, yummy. More Tea.
PM: Coffee out with a friend, a large skinny latte and a brandy snap (*slap hand*)
Dinner: Veggie curry, one of those wholegrain rotis (nice!) and lots of tea.

BGs stayed pretty well behaved in spite of the sins, highest was 7.3 and a low of 4.1.
 
Shredded duck with hoisin sauce, cucumber, spring onion and chinese pancakes.

The Hairy Dieters Book has a method of doing it using duck breasts and uses lettuce leaves rather than the pancakes. But, there isn't much in one of those pancakes, so it was down to Dong Dongs for a frozen pack of 17 x 6. 34 cals and 6.1 carbs per pancake, only 0.4g of which is sugar. Well I had 5 of them, was 6.5 mmol/l two hours after and and woke up with a reading of 4.7mmol/l.

Southern style chicken and prawn jambalaya tonight, using brown rice of course. I actually prefer the extra chewiness. It makes me feel like I am eating something.

No brekky, had another late night designing so it was a brunch of two slice of toasted wheat bread with grilled tomatoes and my ever present tea.

An ongoing snack was a small bowl of mixed (fresh) berries and nuts that I grazed on most of the afternoon. Intravenous tea supply.

Brekkie, 2 buttered Ryvita (this did help stop the rise and rise)

2 am this morning woken by heavy sweating and slight disorientation, 3 jelly babies (thank you Jalapino) and half a twix-type bar. 10 minutes later sweating had stopped, eyesight back to normal and a complete feeling of euphoria. Went back to sleep until 8 am.

Blood sugars this morning 6.8

I could get addicted to jelly babies!
 
Breakfast. I thought what the hey I'm already high and had the full Scottish, minus the eggs: a venison sausage, bacon, toms, mushrooms, black pudding and a tattie scone. Oddly, my BGs came down from 8.8 to 6.5. I'm still puzzling over that one.
Lunch: Cauli and cheese.
Dinner: The rest of the cauli and cheese and bunged in the last of the bacon.
Intravenous tea supply as usual through the day, plus a bottle of water and a home made raspberry smoothie with my own yoghurt.

Lunch - nothing
Dinner. Home-made cod fish cakes - 3 rather large - mashed potato, boiled cod, grated onion and garlic, fresh parsley, breadcrumbs and beaten egg - fried in sunflower oil. Home-made tartar sauce. Good nights sleep but blood sugars 2.1 this morning so 2 chocolate chip cookies with my mug of Yorkshire tea.

Lunch: Lean beefburger & melted mini Babybel in wholemeal roll with dry-fried onions
Fruit & yogurt

Breakfast; "natural" yogurt - spike
Lunch: Buckwheat pancake with spinach - spike
Veg curry with rice and nan ... mega spike

Back on track tomorrow....

@Ruby/London . This is an old thread I think you meant to post in this one
what-did-you-eat-yesterday.
It looks like you had a long visit from the DF, Northener normally keeps her under lock and key or buried deep in his garden but looks like she’s escaped again.
oh dear festival hair and spiking BGs, it’s just not fair is it
 
Today was:
Breakfast = slice of Burgen toast with reduced sugar jam (my one concession I just can’t give up!) 😳
Lunch = wedge of no pastry quiche & a sugar free ice pop 😉
Dinner = chicken & veg curry with cauliflower rice followed by 2 sugar free chocolate buttons 😛
 
4pm 1cracker with boursin cream cheese
1 pear

Another cuppa and water.


😛

Heaps of leafy greens needed for tonight I think.
