Trying My Hand At Overnight Oats

Last night I put rolled oats, chia seeds, strawberries, sliced almonds, raspberries and oat milk in a jar.

Assembly last night
Overnight results

I’ll report back on the taste.

Here’s a good article about he benefits of Overnight Oats From Bob’s Red Mill

Update:

OK so I just tried the first batch.

It was OK. Felt good eating it but a little lacking in flavor and sweetness. I may add a little honey drizzle next time.

I do feel satisfied though and ready to tackle the day and Pickleball. 😄

Bright Spots on a Grey Day

The recent grey damp days were starting to get me down so I went out looking for some inspiration. Despite the dreariness, there are still many bright spots to find out there if you seek them.

Happy Humpback Cafe Will Be Opening Soon And The Food /Coffee Will Be Glorious!

Chef Aaron Budak invited us to a preview tasting and……..WOW!

An adult Herring Gull at the Jodrey State Fish Pier late in the afternoon. Unfortunately there was no light at that time because it had become dull.

Hopefully Not a Sign of Things to Come

I can’t lie…. it took me a few seconds longer than I am proud of to figure this out. It is now obvious that those balloons spell out “2022” but I saw S.O.S first.

Dance Like Nobody’s Watching

Some inspiration to start your week from Mark Twain, Scottie Mac and Joey C. Probably not the combo you were expecting, but from Mark Twain: “Dance like nobody’s watching; love like you’ve never been hurt. Sing like nobody’s listening; live like it’s heaven on earth.” Thank you Joey and Scottie for the reminder.

I didn’t remember the liquor store but I do remember the Hallmark store in between CVS and Papa Gino’s. Great times riding our bikes to Papa Gino’s for pizza and pizza pumping quarters in the individual juke boxes at the tables. Back when parents let their kids ride bikes all over town. When they were young. To football, baseball practice. Everywhere.
