Busyness

I’m making yogurt in the #IP  (Instant Pot) this morning. Sixty-six oz of coconut cream (two, 33oz boxes), 5 probiotic capsules, and a packet of unflavored gelatin to help with the thickness. My IP has a yogurt setting. I poured both boxes of coconut cream in, put the lid on and pressed the button twice. The ip brought the cc to a boil, and I added the packet of unflavored gelatin powder to a separate bowl, stirred until it was mixed well enough, then strained it into the hot coconut cream. Stirred again and set up my thermometer to let me know when it gets to be 115 degrees so I can add in the probiotic – I’ll whisk as I add it.  Then I set the timer on the yogurt setting of the #ip for 20 hours. I’ve got seven, 4 oz yogurt glasses for individual servings, and the rest will go into a quart jar. Refrigerate the jars for 24 hrs, then use as you like. I stir chia seeds or ground flax meal into my morning yogurt. Love it!

Here’s the other things I’ve been working on – knitted headbands, hats and scarves for anyone who needs them – I’m still looking for a charity locally. I gave our Pastor one of the scarves the other night. I have a new diagonal patterned scarf on the needles. 🙂

Hubby has been ok, but he becomes so depressed when he thinks about his troubles. They are awful burdens to bear, but he has to do it. I can’t coddle the depression.

The sunshine is starting to resemble springtime. I love daylight savings time. I’m a fan of dark morning hours and long days. I stay up longer. My body is wired to sleep when it’s dark. I’m beginning to plan my containers for herbs and veggies. It’s so exciting when I can put my hands in the dirt!

Flip

I have decided to flip my meals today. I had a small bp coffee with my leftover ground beef, celery, and spinach cooked in EVVO for breakfast. It’s late morning and I have black chai with a tsp of Erythritol. At about 4:30, I’ve planned an omelet and a  large bp coffee to see me through until tomorrow morning.

Things have been very stressful with my husband’s health issues. I pray we find a solution for his elimination issues. The screaming and crying are simply hitting their limit.

Today is our 19th Wedding Anniversary. Happy, happy us.
