So this morning I went to my doctor for my quarterly check-up. I knew I was in for some bad news, but boy oh boy did she let me have it. (Can you say verbal a**whooping !)
During the past couple of months, life had taken a bit of a downturn for me. Since I gave up drinking and smoking, the only way to make me feel better and help forget the daily crap has been eating – usually far too much quantities of sugar and starches.
As a result, my average sugar level has been way above my usual, decent levels. Therefore, the following dish will be the last of sugar-laden food I’ll eat. Any sweets I will prepare from here on will be strictly (mostly?) for visitors. As for starches, I will prepare and post the same as usual, although I will have to eat MUCH smaller portions again 😦 (also more salads and veggies) 🙂
And there you have it – let’s try to live a bit longer by eating healthier !

Looks good.
I am not surprised as I had noticed your recipes are quite high in calories.
It is easier to stick to a regime if you have something to look forward to, like one dessert is allowed on the weekend.
Good luck!

Hi Stefan,
you are right. Problem is not the weight as much as the diabetes 😦 I have to make a CHOICE between small amounts of starch and small amounts of sugar. It is not that difficult, I just got careless lately 😦
Cheers !
