UN-ICK-A-FIED (plus new Valentine banner)

Hello Saturday. Lovely to see you again. Today we had organic sprouted brown spelt, oat and buckwheat waffles with a little strong flour, homemade vegan yoghurt and dried strawberries tossed in. The strawberries were meh, I would not use them crushed again. Maybe if I make a strawberry powder, that could work.

All that's needed now is a new camera card (good fast one), because this time going back to video, I get to correct the things that went sideways last time. Which includes housing raw video. So ... headed to a store with a door to snag me a new card. External storage for another day. What's gonna be nice is one card will house ALL new videos and the second card will house all related photos for the video and bake book.

I always wanted to write my own bake book. I've talked about it many times and haven't done anything to get there. Now, I've got a fresh start. So by Monday, when the new non-instapot brand air fryer oven lid arrives, I'll be rockin' in the ktichen. 

In other, other news I am stinky. It's time to get un-ick-a-fied. Because boy do I need a shower. Or two. The last day or so I've had a battle with an earache. Today is the first morning that it's gone, gone, gone. 

Gone.

In other news, this is my new banner. Shug and Mad Snapper decorated their blog with hearts and I thought heck, that's fun. I wanna play too. 

And that my Boogerbutts is about it. Smoochie Face ran to the post and the market for a few goodies. Mostly gonna be a work/play day. And come Monday, I press the record button. 

Let's see what happens. 

Huggs and Bugs, Me.

    1. Hi Lori! Headed to your blog next to see what fun you had in the kitchen. I made more yoghurt and tasted it this morning. Oh my gosh, so good and easy to make at home. Hard to believe I ever bought it at the store.

  11. It sounds like you’ve got a lot of exciting things in the works, from your bake book dreams to the video project! Those waffles you made sound so unique and delicious—definitely a fun twist with the sprouted grains. I love the idea of using strawberry powder next time too. It’s great to hear that your earache has cleared up, and you’re feeling ready to tackle the day! Good luck with getting that new camera card and the air fryer oven lid—sounds like you're all set to create some awesome content! Enjoy the work/play balance, and here’s to a productive, fun Monday!

  12. About my hearts on my blog...what I find works best for me, is when I draw something and then take a picture of it...crop it and then post it as my theme page. OR....if I see a free illustrated photo of something I like, I will use it. again, cropping it, and using it as my theme. I've never had it turn black on the side....I always love your headers...Perfect everytime!!

    1. Thanks. The size is good and my art upload works. Just that it also changes another setting that unless I remove the background, won't reset to white. Very odd. Might change the template I'm using down the line and see if that makes a difference. Thanks!

  14. Your new banner is very cute and perfect for Valentine's Day! After publishing a Soups Cookbook, I can honestly say that a cookbook takes a lot of time! I pulbished mine during Covid when I was stuck in all the time .Glad your ear is better.

    1. Thank you. Yes, I've been writing formulas for bakes and meal for decades and those are just for me. It does take quite a long time, I agree. That said, very cool that you did a soup on. So fun! Soup rocks!
