Losing the COVID-19+ ... 79 days to go... or more?

 





I keep coming back around to it.
Even when I wake up motivated, I can't give up the carbs. 
And two pounds/week may be too much for me. I need to slow it down to 1 / week. 

Otherwise I'm not feeling satisfied. 

It will take me actually until April this way. But I've been struggling. 

Hopefully this is the key to my (slow) success. 

Rome wasn't built in a day, right?

Day 10: 40 Days of Lent: Cookie Brownies and Double Chocolate muffins!

Image
Chocolate is my addiction, I must admit. Especially when it's warm. I think about it, dream about it, bake it, make candy with it, eat it after lunch or dinner nearly every day. So when i think about birthday cakes or even the charity I bake for, I'm always looking to make chocolate-something. Or when its Saturday and I have some time on my hands. I think about it then too. :) This week, I had been cruising around the internet, and my sister in law mentioned that it was time for Chocolate muffins. I agreed.

The mix was pretty simple and it turned out much more chocolately than I expected. (That's a word, right?) It was the pe...

Did you know you can can milk? You need a pressure canner, but yea it's even shelf stable after that! I didn't know. Here's a link to learn how. It says the milk might turn a little yellow since there is milk sugar in there and the cream will rise to the top. You just shake it. https://hoeggerfarmyard.com/canning-milk/?fbclid=IwAR16ITMysULeFWJGlOBMvxHBcw_nf2qJbv81pRKiYcDQfL96_IsTVyFFKY0 Apparently you can also can meat, seafood, venison, poultry! https://food.unl.edu/canning-meats-poultry-and-seafood I've only ever canned tomatoes and Jam because I don't have a pressure canner. So all my projects have to be hot water bath only. But I thought that was pretty amazing. On the dinner front: It just wasn't a good day. The idea was to make fish and chips. The russet potatoes were all used up so I cut up some redskins, oiled, salt and peppered and baked them. They didnt get done in time for dinner. No one ate them. The fish batter didnt stick to part of o...
