Hey everyone, I finally remembered
to purchase the washing soda and made laundry liquid (wash) yesterday. This should last me a few months and for a cost of about a dollar as I used my home made laundry soap!
Just after my last blog
post I made home made cottage cheese using powdered milk and juice from the
lemons off the tree here. I'll be trying this again and using the lime juice
next time to see how it works out.
This blog link was posted in a DTE forum thread but I altered the recipe a bit as I used 4
cups of water to 1 cup of powdered milk. I also used ¼ cup of lemon juice as I
wanted it spreadable.
The "curd" draining
The recipe makes
about a cupful.
Soooo yummy!
Last of all, as I’m
finally socialising here and going out to dinner with the local over 50’s
singles group, I shuffled through my “glad rags” to see what would fit, and is
suitably warm enough, for the suddenly cooler weather. This involved lots of trying
on clothing yesterday morning when I had my RMO (Rostered Morning Off).
I was pleased to
find that it was worth keeping those clothes I was determined to fit back into one
day as I now can *big cheeky, cheesy grin*. I’ve saved myself a small fortune there
and damn if they don’t look better on me now than they did when I bought them
as I’m still curvy but in all the "right" places. Yep, I’m full of myself but I
worked hard for this and I feel I deserve the rewards. If I can’t love and
respect myself and all I’ve achieved then how can I expect anyone else to?
There’s another Discover moment.
I’m hopeless at selfies and
the natural light is awful here today as it’s raining so I’ll try to finagle
someone in the group into taking a photo of me on my mobile phone tonight and
update here tomorrow :D.
Cheers,
RobynLouise xo

You have been busy. Sounds like you have been very hard as well and deserve to be cheeky. Enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteIt was more the willpower to make myself eat well and not buy cheap "filler' food when I was tired. Also exercising when temperatures weren't optimal, like rising early to beat heat and knowing full well that even though it was freezing cold some days I'd warm up once I started exercising.
DeleteThe selfie is great! I use my own homemade soap in my laundry liquid recipe which means that it does not need shaking as the natural glycerin keeps it smooth and viscous.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The original is a bit grainy because of the lack of light but it looks ok that size :). I've been washing laundry this morning and discovered the same with my laundry liquid though the cold temperature has made it a little thicker but that may also be due to the tallow content.
Deleteyou look great, nothing wrong with that selfie!
