Hello All,
I hope that everyone enjoyed their Christmas as much as they possibly could.
I was a wee bit ambitious with having a Puff Pastry Steak Pie for dinner. However, I could not chew the beef as it was way too dry. I did manage most of the pastry and all of the vegetables; including air-fried Roast Potatoes.
While doing the online weekly shoppng at Tesco for this week, i noticed something that I thought that I would like to try. It was a processed ready-meal of Liver, Bacon & Mash and I thouroughly enjoyed and finished it completely - although I had added some additional gravy. So that is another Onward & Upward step for me to celebrate.
I did have a setback recently where my GP called to say that my HpA1C was too high at 65 and that I needed to amend my diet somewhat. I must admit that I have been compensating with sweets and biscuits a lot after the radiotheraoy affected my eating. So, I have cut out the sweets and biscuits and not putting sugar on my Weetabix.
Take Care,
Bob
Hi Bob well done yes meat can be difficult for a good while. Liver if you like it is soft I can’t stand it. I used to get my butcher to triple mince the mince so I could make my own meals instead of processed its a fine line . Sweet things are calorie laden but not good for us. Can you manage bananas I still have one sliced most days on porridge or weetabix.
onwards and upwards

No questions too daft to ask.
Hi Bob. Great to see you trying different things. The best meat to eat is lamb. Partner it with a slow cooker and you’re cooking.
