    Woodland Walk

    Oh, each of these is wonderful. Thank you for sharing the sights and sounds of your walk with us.
  5. We are still consuming our strawberry squares. They are soooooo nice! Wow.
  6. That looks great. i put meat in mine but mainly cuz that is how my Husband likes it. But not a lot, a couple of sausages or some beef shank. And i use green cabbage but red would be great too. It's making me hungry.
  7. Okay.. i will now be quiet ... much too much talking today.
  8. Soup is easy and has been proven to keep you full longer. If you have an instant pot, look for a beef and barley recipe. I recommend making it the day before and letting sit overnight. Great soup. But you dont really need a recipe. I often make it with my own stock, or store bought, some onion, carrot, celery diced... shredded cabbage, some beans and or barley. Just put in stuff you like and have in the house. Last time i dumped in some canned sliced beets. It tasted like borscht, which i love. I added some sliced mild Italian sausage. It was great. When it was cooler, we made end of the week soup. Leftovers, small bits of veg etc, went into the soup pot. You all can cook ... so go for it.
  9. There's loads online about it: https://www.thespruceeats.com/many-uses-for-whey-1327494 The cheesecloth thing has been around for a long time. I just rinse it well after and let it dry and reuse it. But before it was called Greek Yogurt, it was called yogurt cheese. And you can use it like cream cheese. It's nice. I saved my little bit of whey and i'll put it in with the next loaf of bread i make this week.
  10. I needed 1/3 c of greek yogurt. so i put in slightly more than that in the cheesecloth and sieve and left it while i did other things. Must have had a good 2 or 3 tbsp of whey afterwards. But that's all Greek yogurt is.
  11. yes yogurt.. greek yogurt is simply regular yogurt.. which is drained of its whey.. you can buy a tub of astro plain.. and some cheesecloth... put the cheesecloth in a sieve over a bowl.. dump the yogurt in... leave it a few hours and you have .. ta da... greek yogurt. That's how they make it and why it is an environmental disaster. They dump all the whey.. and it can affect our water in a negative way. If you make your own you can drink the whey, or add it to soup or smoothies.. rather than dumping it.
  12. i dont buy it cuz its too expensive to me, but i made a little to make these squares.
  13. Okay, i am officially in love with chia seeds. i've been adding them to my homemade bread for a while but made this today: You need chia for the strawberry filling to thicken it up. I had a bit too much so Michael and i added the left overs to some yogurt. Wow, how wonderful.
  14. i never really got to listen to music until about 3 years ago. So, i listen to whatever is on the radio we finally bought. Music was not allowed in my home as a kid and then well, i was homeless so never heard much music really. When i met Michael, He listened to some on his laptop but He didn't have a stereo or anything. We did buy a little stereo which i like to listen to maybe it's 4 years now... i really like the 80's station and i like classical music too. But i like to listen to lots of things.
  15. Well done for keeping quiet! Aww, sorry he was so nervous. Next time!! Do they have a fake hill? They should have a fake hill, imo.
  16. lots of us do, especially now. We saw a lady who lives here as we went to the store today. We were talking about this sort of thing and she said, "In lockdown our world is 4 walls for the most part. We need to find brightness in where we are and who we are with if we're lucky enough to have someone." She always has nice plants so she's doing that. I bought a new one for our place too. Just a little brightness. I also started to feed the plants we did have. Well, they are all actually GREEN now. Plus i have my hobbies.. and i manage to write a poem now and again. We just need to keep on.
  17. Back from a trip to the shrink. Meds are being adjusted again. i wish once they find the right combo it could be made into a magic pill ... but of course that doesnt work, because we change too. Oh, well. We've seen some like this before.. but i dont think we can be reminded too often:
