At church last night they told us that their oven was on the blink so we invited them to come to us for a meal tonight. The weather is quite pleasant so we will take a couple of steaks out of the freezer and throw them on the barbeque. It will make a nice change... and thats southern California for you...snow one minute... blazing sunshine the next.</p><p>And talking of neighbours...ours have their Easter decorations up already. I dont know if its too early but Im thinking of putting a few bunnies around the house this week. Easter will be here and gone before we know it... so I might as well get some enjoyment from them while I can.</p><p>There's nothing much else going on this week... except for Saturday...when a friend and I are going to a free cheese making demonstration. That should be interesting... and we may even stop at an Estate Sale on the way home</p><p>Have a good week.. and when do you decorate for Easter.</p><p><u style="color: #2e2e2e; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px;"><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>Weekly Plan - 4th March 2024</b></span></u></p><p></p><div style="color: #2e2e2e; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px;"><p><strong><span style="color: #274e13;">Monday </span><span style="color: #a64d79;"> </span></strong><span style="color: #990000;">Steak and Onions, Baby Potatoes.

text-align: left;">After a hiatus from all forms of social media.. I thought I would pop in and say hi..and I bring with me chilly weather and torrential rain. I would like to say everything has been fine, but January was a month of ups and downs.. dealing with a couple of issues happening over in England, and a bout of ill health for me</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I started the year off making goals for myself... one of them being to look after myself better... and had no idea that I was going to have to. I didn't tell anyone, but I hadnt been feeling well for quite a while, extremely tired and feeling so sick after eating.. and for the small amount I was eating I was getting full fast, felt bloated and was putting on weight. I suspected that I may have been starting with diabetes.. something that is prevelent in my family... and I am now "that age". I also had a niggle that my cancer may be back... but I was due for my twice a year cancer screen and blood tests so I waited to see the doctor</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well the blood tests came back and Im pleased to say Im still cancer free. But, my liver that was damaged during my treatments has still not recovered and is not coping too well with filtering what I'm eating...and its struggling</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But... the good news is.. its not diabetes (yet) and I can possibly repair the liver myself. So..he has put me on a very low carb diet... not diabetic or keto.. but along those lines. Im now three weeks in and Im still cooking the same way for MrD...as you can see from the menu... but I dont eat the carbs. Bread, pasta and rice are limited and brown.. as are starchy vegetables such as potatoes. And my Friday night pizza has a cauliflower base. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I must say though.. Im feeling so much better already. I have more energy, am no longer nauseous or uncomfortably bloated... and I have lost weight.
