My new headgear

A little bit of self analysis. How I work things out. How I plan ahead with the information I have. Driving a car requires looking ahead as far as the eye can see. Formulating that vision into a plan can save you a lot of problems. Whether to slow down, or speed up, or take a completely different route. A similar strategy can be applied to almost any aspect of your life when it comes to decision making. How did I know that taking part in a medical experiment could be the worst thing I ever did. After weighing up all the information that was presented to me at the time, I decided that it wasn't going to be as clear cut as they made out. There were flaws in their plan. My self preservation gene kicked in, and I avoided a potential disaster.

When I was a kid, we had milk cows and for months we would have cream for coffee, but this time of year they didn't produce milk, so we had evaporated milk. We called " canned cow".

[@jojoflowermilady1791]

Great hat and food tips. My dad was a lorry driver and he was perceptive too, both behind the wheel and in general life. As a child I used to go out with him in his wagon and I think it taught me a lot about human nature 👍 keep well Ilona 🙏😁🌈

[@joannedibben2352]

Hi ilona i use evap milk in coffee its great love it cheap to.i went ro the beach to walk today i couldve done with that lovley new hat of yours lol love jo dorsetxx

[@robertanderson2142]

Brill lassie keep warm and safe

[@janemerricks2223]

Just a thought. You could buy a jar of sauce and freeze the contents either in an ice cube tray or small containers. The small reusable pots for baby food is an ideal size to use. Hope this help!

[@anneosullivan4107]

I think your new hat/scarf suits you very nicely Ilona. Being wise just comes naturally to you. Toodle pip 😜 👍

[@pearl2910]

Love the Sloth hat it’s lovely and very ideal for the cold 💕

[@katherinekeon7034]

Love the cap scarf. Hat scarf. Loooovvvveeee iiiitttttt :-)

[@seaglasskaz6314]

Ohhhhh, I've got that chutney, it's beautiful. What a fab idea!!!!! Xxxx

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

You can put it in your stir fry, or soup. Gives it a lovely flavour.

[@Zemplex]

Love the hat Ilona . I am sure with your sewing skills you could find a bit of fabric and lengthen the scarf. Stay warm x

[@margaretpiddock455]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣honestly Ilona, you are a breath of fresh air….love the headgear….i can see the warmth in it. Having a sixth sense, isnt a bad thing. Your right, some people make their opinion known, without reading the facts, its set in stone lol x

[@user-hs1nr5wg8w]

I think you have an amazing life, so interesting and love your lorry driving stories, x

[@leighwiseman8389]

Hi Ilona, that's what I try to do in life, when I was having driving lessons in the early 70s my instructor always said that driving a car is like reading a book. You always read the road ahead. Hope you have a good weekend xxx

[@carolpatulak6013]

Watch every evening while stretching in my bed. - I am 84 and can relate to you😁

[@SuperNorini]

Always good fun! 😅

[@irenebaker8263]

I was hoping you would share with us what is coming down the pipes. Maybe you wrote about it in your blog! All the best everyone. We are in very very extreme cold temp here in my little corner of Canada! ❄️❄️☕️☕️ I think tonight with wind chill factored in -47C

[@user-hs1nr5wg8w]

Keep safe and warm x

[@ashleybosvik3031]

It reached -49 in Saskatchewan

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

Irene. I am putting the important news on my new blog, The Rabbit Hole. You can find it by going to the main blog. There is a link on the sidebar there. meanqueen-lifeaftermoney.blogspot.com

[@rockingran1957]

I often have evaporated milk in coffee. I decant it into a glass bottle. A few tins are handy to have in the store cupboard it also can be diluted and makes lovely custard or rice pud. In the Netherlands they sell “coffee milk” which. Is basically the same thing.

[@smokeshow2142]

Same here! I grew up with 'evap'. Always have a few cans on hand, and have definitely used it for baking, and it makes delicious fudge! As a child, we had powdered milk, and a bit of evap was added to make it a bit richer, more flavorful.

[@mariarooney6262]

You are so funny. 😂. I was just at Aldi and looked up the recommended items from YT Mary’s Nest’s list. I was checking out the evaporated milk, but it has carrageenan in it and I won’t buy it, plus even with it milk, like most other products, aren’t made the way they used to. The only evaporated milk without that in it I found at Whole Foods and it was delicious, just like it used to taste. I know you probably wouldn’t shop there, but there are a few things I like occasionally. I’ll have to remember to read your blog, I just forget. Thanks for being you. Until next time, enjoy!❤️

[@clairebiddle8290]

Hi ilona. Love your hat looks very warm & cosy .i hope you are well .

[@rachelmolina3995]

Yup, I understand your driving experiences. I can do the same with knowing in advance what will happen. Freaks my husband out.

[@ginavandam735]

Great video as always! And that great winterhat...🤪👍 A suggestion for keeping the milk fresh...deepfreeze it in icecube containers..small and practical to take and use.. Great wisdom as always...keep"em comin'...greetings from Sweden🇸🇪

[@teresacrowley4076]

Love your new Hat .......enjoy!!!

[@isabelclarke9198]

I always have evaporated milk in my coffee. In my rice pudding, and in jelly to make a fruit mousse. and also add a little to instant custard. So well done you for trying it. Love the hat Ilona, Im not sure Id have the nerve to wear it out in public. Past experiences help in everyday lives, but some people rely on the government to do their thinking for them, and that's when it becomes dangerous.

[@pamelacourtney8998]

Luv the scarf hat. Looks good and warm. Your lunch looks tasty. My Aldi's had the onion chutney yesterday. Will get a jar next week to try. Blessings to all

[@sheilacarter7875]

I love listening to you llona, l always have evaporated milk in coffee l have the reduced fat version.I will buy some of the Aldi caramelised onion chutney sounds delicious.People can be mean on social media,one woman didnt agree with my opinion and told me l wasnt of her social standing and an ignoramus!!!!

[@lindacleveland1289]

I’m a fan of ALDIs caramelised red onion chutney too , yum

[@kasandrabrown8611]

I love Chutney ❤️. I first ate it when I was staying at an inn in Wokingham back in 1986. Your discussion of driving and being perceptive was very helpful.

[@rickiwinter1587]

Enjoyed listening to you as always Ilona. Love the head gear🥰

[@tmarie7463]

Cute hat on you, looks warm. 😊

[@raineedaytinyfilms]

Maybe this is where I learned this (being able to see things in advance ) from my Dad :)

[@dandelionwishes9842]

[@marymarysmarket3508]

I like that your sloth hat matches perfectly your hair color. I learned that when buying a coat with a fur collar, get a fur color that closely matches your hair. Nice...Fun..

[@user-gm1kl6xy4m]

Aw so cute your hat❤❤

[@grandpahickory613]

it is march 2024.....I am having Christmas Pudding.....I did not do Christmas until today....Had surgeries, a bit laid up....Long road back, but nonetheless, I am certainly trying me best...cheers to all !

[@dl4126]

How cute! We were in Aldi today too, although a USA version. They were very busy. Keep warm.

[@marilyn9155]

Oooo- hat looks super warm!! The chutney sounds delish… we also have Aldi here in the states- wonder if products are the same - I must check it out ! ❤xx

Live your new hat!

[@Deva-no3dn]

How cute is that Ilona! 😂

[@chrisjones3901]

I say I always can tell other drivers personalities.predicting others having accidents I have found easy to see,pity they dont themselves

[@juliasener9607]

Transferable skills Ilona, that's such a skill. Love your hat and scarf 😘😘

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

That's a good way of describing it. People who stay for a long time in a repetitive job never learn to analyse different situations if they are not exposed to them. Stagnation really is the way to a dominated life. People, stay in your shell if you must, but break out at the first opportunity. Look ahead, what can you see? If you are going in the wrong direction, take a left turn.

[@sherimillman53]

It's suits you 😊

[@happydodson6920]

Love your new head cover -- such fun!

[@sjbutler2330]

What the heck!, I'd wear and buy one of those hats too. But I live up north! 😟 in Canada.

[@user-hs1nr5wg8w]

Condensed milk is a nice treat as well in coffee x

[@user-hs1nr5wg8w]

And I love evap in coffee so tasty x

[@teresaearl5688]

Love the headgear ❤

[@robertaackerman6931]

Your new headgear is so you. Love it!!

[@phoenixfire1124]

I love the headgear!! Wish i got one myself, but i do have something similar.

[@danasmith9181]

I live in Newfoundland, Canada and evaporated milk was a staple in most homes when I was growing up. I never had tea with fresh milk until I was in my 20's 😂

[@joannedibben2352]

Hello there I always use evaporated milk in coffee and it tastes amazing lol blessings to you🌈

[@user-ky7pt8pp9i]

When I was a baby I was fed Carnation milk !! That was in the 1960 s

[@bracketsthepolicefan]

Head gear suits you 😂

[@leisure057blank3]

I discovered on a sale of gloves and mittens, that my hand is actually small enough to fit into the children’s size at a savings of about $2.

[@christineconnor4413]

Love the hat ! Driving horrendous on some roads . People go far too fast then can't slow down in time so accidents occur . Get there late but alive if need be !!!! Your food looks delicious ! Enjoy !

[@whichypoohs]

Amazing lady. What wisdom ❤😊

[@shanehall98]

Lol how fun I love it!.

[@Ann65.]

Me too Julie!

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

Hello Julie. Welcome. Sometimes youtube recommends my own videos, to me.

[@karen4you]

Evaporated milk was all my parents used in coffee. I am sure it was very inexpensive then. No fancy coffee creamers exsisted. Like the hat. I am all layered up for comfort here in southern Iowa, USA because it is our second blizzard and arctic cold down to -15F coming for 3 days then 0F lows for weeks. Brrr.

[@sophiawolthof1238]

👍👍👍

[@marylynch2510]

[@marymarysmarket3508]

A can of evaporated milk in Chicago costs almost $2.00 per can...1.95

[@patsyballantyne9886]

😃❤

[@Pondapple]

You can wear that hat inside out. I think it will look great!

[@Julie-ix7wv]

Love the hat Ilona 😊. I have a couple of tins of the evaporated milk in the pantry as well( for emergencies etc). I do dilute mine though, it’s quite creamy isn’t it? 😊

[@icouldbewrongicouldberight]

0:00 😹 Very practical! Winter version of jaunty?

[@sarahkennedy1481]

Soo funny😂

[@joyofthings]

If you want to get ahead get a hat.xx🐝🐝 ey up mother

[@mrh8279]

Its a sloth.

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

I didn't know that when I bought it. Now I am pleased that it is.

[@bernadettenightingale4495]

Jealous...

[@amandahyde8900]

Im pressed the like because you aren’t really bothered 😂

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

😄😆🙃 Thank you.

[@grumpy_poo]

That hat is certainly a conversation starter!! If you want to get ahead get a hat as the saying goes.... and you can keep your secret sweetie stash in the pockets. You can only go as fast as the car in front.... once I was stopped at a pelican crossing and couldn't go forward...even when the lights changed.... the guy behind was beeping and screaming abuse, I stayed where I was .. angry man decided stupid woman was obstructing the road and decided to overtake me at speed..... then screeched to a halt barely missing the guy in the wheelchair who had a wheel stuck in the divot in the crossing ..... who I had stopped for..... there are some proper idiots on the roads these days.....

[@redrobin99]

Youre a sloth i think. Good choice.❤
