Lemon Pie with an accent

Image
Lemon Delight Pie from Andy Griffith - No Bake Refrigerator Lemon Pie - ... I do not know how all these YouTube cooks get away without getting their hair in the food. Even a Bible verse here. PS Charming but I am not sure i would make this. 4:28 hours of sleep. Gorgeous day.

YUM! Mustard greens Tofu soup

Image
Mustard Greens Tofu Soup This sounds yummy even if I don't make it exactly like the recipe. And I will be eating no choice hotel food for a couple days, so.... 4:28 hours of sleep, 3.5 hours AFTER breakfast because after an hour in bed, I got up about 5, ate breakfast, and then decided I had time to go back to bed, at least until the fire alarm test people showed up. Oh the adventures.

When a volcanic eruption is more soothing than....

Image
Giant Lava Fountains Erupt At Kilauea Before Memorial Day (May 25, 2025) 4:38 hours of sleep. Tofu sandwich for breakfast. Maybe I will bake some more tofu tomorrow. I am being a bit of an adrenalin junkie about certain protest themed videos. Situation is pretty awful on multiple grounds, I am morbidly fascinated but have NO interest in going out live.

I Miss fried things at Kidd Valley

Cats for distraction

Image
Blind cats with friends I MUST clean apartment so I can get another cat. One of these days I will actually do it and we will NOT count how long I have just been saying that. Bear with the boppy music at the beginning. Eventually there is audio narration. 4:06 hours of sleep in bed and more dozing after morning banana but still awake in time for shower before dr. visit. Primary care doc. Annual medicare wellness visit. More themes I have to ask more questions about. Fun. Weather was GLORIOUS but I lost my hat between bus stop and dr. Sun was excruciating on walk back but I FOUND MY HAT.

Sardines with rice: stretch the culinary imagination

Image
HOW TO MAKE DELICIOUS RICE WITH SARDINES/WITH JUST 2 PANS YOU CAN PREPAR... True confession: I have not even watched the whole video. It's just that I need time to get used to the idea of rice and sardines before I actually interact with the possibility of making it. 4:30 hours of sleep and another about 1.5 hours in my chair because I did not have the wit just to go back to bed.

History as reconstructed about dessert

Image
History's Oldest Dessert - 4,000 Year Old Mersu Apparently, there are multiple versions. The spicing sounds intriguing. 3:52 hours of sleep plus anoter 45 minutes in my chair. I suddenly remembered that I have a very large digits clock / radio that I need to unpack and set up in the bedroom. That will DEFINITELY help on days when I need to be somewhere at a fixed time. Making a batch of porridge and having single serving containers in the fridge is also a godsend. I had skipped porridge for several days and life is definitely saner with porridge.

Why on earth are these things called floodies?

Image
Easy Bacon Floodies – Old School Northern British Comfort Food Ignore this one if you are vegan, but this guy's accent alone makes it worthwhile. 4:50 hours of sleep. I guess it's a blessing to fall asleep right as one is about to decide sleep is not happening and just get out of bed.

I never get tired of Cauliflower

Image
Cauliflower has never been so delicious! Dinner in 10 minutes! Delicious... Ordinarily I click away from vids like this because i want audible instructions. But the music is entertaining as are the visuals. Get a load of the purple glittery nail polish. 5:30 hours of SLEEP

Red bean porridge and rice balls

Image
How to Make Traditional Korean Red Bean Porridge with Just 100% Red Bean... 4:24 hours of sleep. Not enough sleep but at least up in time to shower and have fast food breakfast before GOING TO CHURCH WITH MOM on Mother's day and then home with her to brunch. SO HARD to hear each other in the dining room but nutella strawberry crepe was LOVELY. I also washed up her cups and that seems to have resolved some foul odors. This recipe is pretty and simple. I probably would deviate from tradition with some kind of flavorings.

Yum! Breakfast Tacos

Image
No breakfast tacos today but the recipe sounds yummy.  4:24 hours of sleep. Drug comes with possibility of hot flashes. Is that what woke me up at 2ish am? I had to inventory what day it is and why I could not just sleep in. Happy saturday. At least I went out and bought bananas last night

Conclave history with culinary notes

Image
Feeding the Papal Conclave, with a LOT of conclave history Apparently the 2025 conclave that elected Pope Leo XIV was not a lavish culinary affair. Possibly this was ONE factor in a comparatively short path to white smoke. 2:24 hours of sleep in bed. NO JOKE. Followed by over 5 hours of dozing in a chair on and off. And the moon is not full yet for a couple days.

It's all in the technique? Spanish garlic cabbage salad

Image
"Better than Coleslaw" Spanish Garlic Cabbage Salad 3:30 hours of sleep. But this cabbage salad recipe was worth it, sort of. That is, I also had too many threads on my mind to write about regardless of whether I actually had brain cells to do it. Also working on stable meal schedules and exercise plans. Working on it

ART on the walls

Image
Giant red yellow purple flower against teal wall  4:30 hours of sleep. I took a shower last night in hopes of sleeping longer and then zipping out the door to my in-person event. Alas... Symptoms??? who knows?

Pinecones just because

Image
  Pinecones after the weekend 5:28 hours of sleep. Notable even after blogging and youTube

Gah! Why ya gotta put all the high-protein vegan things in one meal?

Image
High-Protein Vegan Nourish Bowl - 40g Protein, No Tofu, No Tempeh! 5:28 hours of sleep. It's um easier, I guess, to maintain sleep discipline when one is just too tired of news to interact with every single outrage Also no snacks after dinner, even if dinner is mainly munchies, nutritious munchies, but still mainly munchies. Or maybe i just got filled up with human interactions last weekend..
