Well folks palm to forehead I will never buy icing sugar nor brown sugar from the store. I made my own icing sugar and by golly it works. Boy I feel stupid not knowing this. I could have been making my own all this time and not be caught making a cake and not having icing sugar to make the darn frosting like 🙄. Lol
Tonight I made a rice dish that my hubby's late Grandma. It was a different kind of rice pudding not with the usual raisins but chunks of pineapple. My recipe for rice pudding calls for four cups of milk to 1 cup of uncooked long grain rice, but I put in two cups of coconut cream milk then added 2 cups of milk to make the total up to four. Oh my goodness it tasted sooooo good already without the pineapple. When I put the pineapple it so kicked it up a whole lot then the vanilla. It seemed like a tropical drink without the rum. He had two big bowls full, so I think I did pretty good lol.
While cleaning out my spare room I came across a whole box of fabric and scraps of fabric. I says to myself mmm sewing time.
Going to ask my neighbor to teach me beading in First Nations Style. I like to learn more things in art to do. She does beautiful beadwork.
Since my hubby and stopped wearing very highly scented perfumes and using body washes, using laundry detergent and other manufactured things, anything with highly scented aromas we come across and smell makes us extremely sick and awful headaches. The other day I was sitting next to someone in a waiting room whatever she was wearing oh my goodness my head just pounding. Then the next day we all went out and these two young gentlemen walked by us and their strong cologne did the same thing to us.
Our move to non scented or getting rid of certain products that we have been using has really made a huge difference in our physical and emotional health. We have purged our non stick pans, gone to cast iron and stainless steel, got rid of all plastic containers I can for certain we have noticed a huge difference in our food as well.
We are not conspiracy junkies we just wanted to try a few things to see if some of the things we have observed where actually true. We have been doing this slowly for about a month or so and like I said it is working for us.
Looking out my living room window, drinking my coffee, loving the peace and tranquility this morning is. I love waking up early in the morning by myself and having time to
reflect or just marvel at the nature before me. There is nothing like watching the morning sun coming up and giving amazing light, scaring away the darkness. There is still snow on the ground but I can see in the distance a slight greening of the trees as each day gets warmer and warmer. Little patches of dirt in the field in front of the house are getting larger, the Chickadees are back. I am so looking forward to sitting on my deck in front in the mornings when it is warmer in the mornings with my coffee and just marvel more of what lies before me. To get my feet in the warm dirt, to have dirt under my finger nails because of planting. I hope you all have an amazing beautiful Sunday.
