What did you have for dinner?

Today we had chicken breast coated in breadcrumbs with garlic in. Oven chips and baked beans.

 

@shiney The foreign muck bit wasn’t supposed to be derogatory but it was/is a saying from many years ago about eating such foods but I think people are a bit more excepting of such foods these days although they don’t tend to agree with my tum.If I eat anything slightly not right when out for a meal then I pay for it a few hours later.I have been like it since I was a youngster that is why I tend to stick to foods I know my tum can tolerate but even then I sometimes get it wrong I had read some of your article about fish and chips ages ago when I was researching to educate myself the origins of where fish and chips come from

Also learnt years ago that the Indians invented bungalows as were living in one at the time and I wanted to know where they first originated from so learnt something there.I do so love computers as a learning device

Mr Kandy on the other hand loves all sorts of foods apart from Italian food as like me he isn’t keen on pasta.Problem is though he ends up with a dodgy tum if he eats certain meals but it doesn’t put him off of them

Had this for brekkie this morning and two hours later my sugar levels are 5.7 (Sorry haven’t had din dins yet)

 

Just about to have din dins as I am a little bit hungry.Sadly the only home grown veggies on my plate is the onion and the salmon although out of a tin helps my VitaminD3 levels

So I should be right at home if ever I visit India Shiney as I will know what they are all talking about.Mind you the crowds would put me off as I hate being squashed by masses of people

Completely forgot what time I had finished my dinner think it was 12.30pm.Anyway just tested and the results are 5.8 so hadn’t overloaded on the carbs with that plateful

 

@shiney Thats crowded

I remember of one of your threads you showed us a market area and all the locals had about four people on each moped and the place was packed I think this is one reason why we don’t go for beach holidays as I would get lost in the crowds when I went for an ice cream

When we go over to Wight for holidays we can walk for miles and hours and not see another soul because they are all packed like sardines on the beaches or walking round Godshills shops

We often find when we do go in a gift shop it can be empty as we enter but you can guarantee within a minute or so the place is packed like we are magnetised and draw them in.At that point we walk out of the shop

 

Breakfast this morning.

Three eggs,some grated mature cheese,milk,salt and a sausage that I dry fried yesterday

 

@shiney Mrs Shiney will soon lose weight on a total carbohydrate diet but she will have to have some carbs or else she could start to have health problems from what I have been reading on the net recently.Most people are just on low carbohydrate say 20-30 carbs a day others slightly higher.I assume if she is on this type of diet her Diabetes is not being controlled properly especially if she is overweight? So a LCHF (Low Carb High Fat Diet) should help her but only time will tell oh and portion control is said to help with weight loss as well Get her a trampette and let her walk jog on that.My sister got one before me and lost 51lb in weight

Personally I wouldn’t have the soup for starters and the apples can be high carb especially if pan fried in butter and this is only the evening meal so dread to think what you are giving her for breakfast and lunch which is causing problems

I am starting to cut down on what I eat because when I had my eye scan a few weeks ago and had the results it said I had background Retinopathy which came as a shock as all my other results have been fine. I asked our diabetic nurse for a meter which she refused as she said Type 2’s didn’t need to test so I ordered one off of Amazon which I have started using this week and am cutting right back on what I eat and on weighing myself this morning have lost 1lb in weight which for me is a miracle with my Insulin Resistance although my 4.5 mile a day walk could be helping plus all the work I do over at the lottie spreading compost on the plots ready for Mr Kandy to rotavate

I like eating sausages with 95% pork but I saw those ones in the farm shop we visited so bought some as the majority of meat is free of carbs

We popped down to the village shop in the village yesterday and saw this reduced so got it to try but instead of microwaving the burger I dry fried it and as it was a double one I will have the other one some other time and then put the rubber cheese on top but didn’t have the sauce that was supplied.It was ok to eat but nothing special to write home about and not something I would eat every day

PS,Even the fish that gets eaten is now polluted with plastic and other filth that is in the rivers and seas so we are all doomed

PSS,Mrs Shiney can eat new potatoes as they are lower in carbs than the old sort,she just doesn’t need to have her plate piled high with them...

Quiet happy with this reading...

 

Sort of the same here. I eat proper sausages from my butcher because I know what goes in them (I've been there frequently while they're being made) and they have a reasonable fat content of about 20% so they're not dry. I also bring back a kilo or two of Sicilian sausages when I go over there for work. My naughty indulgence is those cheap chorizo rings from supermarkets - I know that they're bad but they're good to have in the fridge for standby. It takes us about three weeks to use one so it's not as if we're binging on them.
I tend to avoid all supermarket meat if I can - the bacon is downright nasty and if you look at a beef joint it still has a pulse! Beef needs to be hung for three weeks minimum and it certainly doesn't need water injecting into it to raise the weight

Tuesday was a bit of a 'Ready Steady Cook' fridge clean up night. Cut a large onion into chunks, add garlic, tommy puree, passata, ras el hanout, smoked paprika, mushrooms, new potatoes, fennel and nigella seeds, naga puree, chick peas and chicken then toss it into the oven for an hour. Even if I do say so myself it was an absolute triumph!

 

Battered fish, baked potato with salad and sweetcorn.
