Well, slept decently, in bed too late, need to start scaling back as there are a couple of cancer appointments coming up. I imagine Herceptin will be a longer appointment so may give 4 hours initially between Paratransit. I will need to get a loading dose and wait for an hour or so, I will see what I think. May buy some snacks to have and definitely ask for cheese.

Got laundry started, regular dish cloths first, get those spun out and in dryer then floors, quick sweep mop etc. Put together garbage and take out to my bin just outside til it can go over to the garbage next garbage day. Cat litter garbage also needs to be changed and disposed of as well as kitchen garbage to go out. Recycle is collected in house so that is easy to manage

Not sure about food, ate up all Mcdonalds, not buying anymore skip the dishes food delivery because one meal like a burger meal, breakfast meal or anything else costs about 1/2 of what I spend on groceries which gives me many more meals. I also have the lifeline alert service that I pay for now which is a big chunk out of my bills. Meal may be good but not worth the price.

I am probably going to do something with my frozen beef burger done up yesterday, I used some of it yesterday in a beef and macaroni meal then decided to have a burrito meal with the burger meat. Could also do some air fryer hashbrown and eggs. Realized that I have little egg shapers so that if I preheated the air fryer, can put a cracked egg inside the holder and do a fancy egg mcmuffin type dish or toast the muffins and eggs together in the air fryer, so much in my head. Will post later if something good happens mealwise. If no post, likely will create my own queso type meal out of white rice, chicken or beef and bean, lots of options to consider.

Hope everyone has a good day and in pockets for everyone. In my own pocket to finish everything I start.

Mara yes, watch some Youtube vids. You need to start with some store yogurt that has live culture. I use Oikos brand. They will tell you you can't make yogurt with flavoured yogurt. Pffft. That's nonsense. I wouldn't use stuff that has hunks of blueberry floating in it or fruit on the bottom. But I use a single serving cup of vanilla Oikos to start 4 cups of whole milk = tall container of yogurt. If you strain it to make it thick you will lose some of the volume to whey. You can keep the whey to bake with, add to smoothies, feed it to your chickens or pigs or dump it. But straining makes the yogurt thicker. Sometimes the yogurt turns out nicely thick. Other times more runny and gloopy. I think this is related to how old the starter yogurt is. If all the little yogurt cooties are still alive or starting to keel over from old age. Also has to do with temperature. It's all about the science! And one last tidbit before I sign off on my yogurt lecture, my secret weapon is …. a tea light candle! Unscented, obviously. I heat the milk, cool the milk to correct temp, stir in my gently warmed store yogurt then set the whole pot in the oven and also set in, beside (not under!) a lit tea light candle. This provides about 4 hours of gentle, warming heat. I make the yogurt at 7 or 8 at night and when I check the oven 7 or 8 next morning - it's good to go! Unless it's not. Cause sometimes it just doesn't work. But the little tea light set on a small plate so it doesn't fall through the oven rack, was the game changer for me.

Hi to all!
