Hello my dears! Thank you so much for waiting. The video upload was being delayed today due to my sudden bad feeling. I vomit 4 times today probably because I ate left over food that was 5 days ago. Still feel bad but try to publish this video for everyone who patiently waiting. Thank you for always supporting me. And hope everyone has a nice day! ❤

Get well soon! 🤕 A tip, without guarantees: adding cayenne pepper can combat some bacteria. There are a few related scientific studies, yes. So when I have food that is a little too old for comfort, I fry the heck out of it and add cayenne pepper. Rice or pasta balances it out, right? 😎 Oh! I have another tip! 😊 Get a daylight bulb and put the lamp on a timer. Waking up in the winter becomes much easier then. Try it! It's amazing what a difference it makes.

Hello, your channel came up last night and I watched I think 5 of your videos! I appreciate your content and what you share with us. I am much older than you, however what I realized is that there are so many of us around the world, of all ages, who experience living alone and who are alone much of the time. You have taught me a lesson in your videos I have seen so far. Even being alone, you take care of yourself, you do nice things for yourself, and you celebrate yourself and life. I am 62 years young, and I don't do these things for myself like you do. You make yourself a priority in your life. Thank you for showing me how I need to be my own priority and to take care of myself and love myself. I am very important! It's time for me to prove it to myself. You are such a nice girl. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you so much. God bless you 🙏

A tip from 81 year grandmother for your consideration….. use a bag (can be small paper one or zip lock plastic one) put your flour and spices in bag and close and shake mix. Add meat in bag and shake-shake-shake. Lift out meat to skillet. Save flour in bag for recipe gravy but don’t save for next day cause bacteria will grow in it.
@wetjr09 ай бұрын
Just a question. Wouldn't putting the bag of flour in the refrigerator immediately prevent bacteria growth until ready to use?

Instead of flour you can use corn starch and you won’t have any lumps in the gravy part of your dishes. Easier to use too. Use equal parts of water and corn starch for a smooth mixture. Also, when you remake your bed after washing, put the furthest corner on first. That would be the top right corner of the bed if standing at the bottom. Then do other top corner and finally the bottom. So much easier!! Merry Christmas!!
