Finally - an actual PKU post!

I got an email from Promin saying they've got this new low protein rice - rice which is pretty much "normal rice" but has gone through some process to make it only half an exchange.

As someone who loves rice, I'm going to give this a try later on!

You can buy the packet of rice online here: https://prominpku.com/product/echigo-low-protein-pre-cooked-rice/

The brilliant @poconnor has shared a PKU friendly recipe - Fennel and Orange salad (with clearly detailed ingredients that have protein, so you know where to skip):

Blood test today. I think the strong wind and rained in the UK enforced some discipline in me...

Made some stir fry rice with Mevalia rice.

It's the first time I've eaten low protein rice and it doesn't blatantly taste like pasta in a rice shape.

Mushroom & jackfruit wellingtons, low protein, PKU, Christmas

This recipe makes four individual, low protein Wellingtons. They are great for Christmas or Thanksgiving, yet are so easy that I’ve been making them as a mid-week dinner.

Just some PKU fun - decided to get worcestershire sauce a few weeks ago to add a little kick to my toast and hash browns with cheese in the morning.

My recent levels are about 100umol/L higher than usual.

I checked the ingredients, and worcestershire sauce has anchovies... 🤦‍♂️

I mean, I guess it is fitting for a few days after Halloween...

It's about that time... My only fear is that the team won't recognise me from mh bloodsport this time...
