Strawberry ice cream - recipe versions on several sites. 1 pt heavy cream whipped to peaks, add chilled can of sweetened condensed milk and a little vanilla and whip again. I divided into 3 parts I think and added flavors. then it has to freeze for at least 4 or 5 hours. In this version I added a little (1 T strawberry jam) and about 1/2 c of cut up strawberries. The fresh strawberries were too icy in this attempt.

Cabbage Casserole - I found several recipes on YouTube. Some asked for a ton of butter. I changed up so there wasn't as much fat. Took photos to show the measurements.

Received someone else's meds today, instead of Buffy's. The packages had been opened and things taken out. Used the RX label to call their pharmacy so they could reship, and called Chewy's to resend all of Buffy's meds.

Watched Endeavor Session 2, episode 1 together - first tv all together in a long time. Guess it was my anniversary gift.
Bernie's pots are looking very nice now!
Alex's plot is filling in very nicely.
Aquafaba ready to be frozen.
this is how it starts out...
Used the blender to created powdered sugar. Think I will get some powdered monk fruit to see if that will work instead of sugar.
Took another long walk in a different part of the neighborhood - actually went out of our neighborhood it was such a long walk. I liked the way this house didn't have mulch nor weeds! Bernie met me about here in the walk - it was really nice to have his company for the walks.
At the park saw the high building in the distance. It is in between the trees - have to enlarge to see. I can't figure out where that is!
Nice way to finish a fence.
I have a friend sending me photos of the moose and bears at her Colorado home. Here is my wildlife.
Interesting leaves.
Can you read the names?
Pumpkins?
Texture of the tires at the side of a house.
Surprise fence posts! I like that from the front it looks like a solid post.
But from the side can see that the posts are made from bricks! They seem to be glued to the circles at the bottom of each post - not dug into the ground...
More wildlife on the walk.

Recipe to try:
3 Ingredient Banana Bread
Serves 10
INGREDIENTS
5 medium overripe bananas + 1 ripe banana to garnish
1 tin condensed milk
2¼ cups SASKO Self-Raising Flour
Serving suggestion:
Butter
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 180 and grease a loaf tin.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas lightly using a fork.*Chef’s Tip: If your bananas are underripe, place them on a tray in their skins and bake at 180 for 15-18 minutes until blackened on the outside and soft on the inside.
Pour in the condensed milk and mix well.
Sieve flour over condensed milk-banana mixture and fold in until just combined.
Pour the batter into a greased loaf tin. If desired, arrange two banana halves over the top of the loaf.
Bake for 60 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. If the top becomes too dark during cooking time, cover with foil.
Allow the loaf to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Slice the banana bread while still warm, spread generously with butter and ENJOY!
A few of the figs are ripening!

Sorry my photos show the extra stuff on the side of the plates...
The toaster oven has stopped working. Company is sending a replacement. In the meantime, I'm so used to use the toaster oven, it seems wasteful to use the big oven for just one dish. The microwave is easier to clean up too...
