A Penny For More Thoughts

 I always love to find a penny on the ground; I believe it's a sign that my Jer is close around me and that gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling.

It has been one HOT, HOT, HOT summer with more to come as record heat is forecast for the next week, the third week of August 2023.  The weather is not the only thing that's HOT, seems the entire world is HOT with FIRES being ignited all over the planet.  

Hmm..let's review this info from the book of Revelation;    

Then the angel filled the incense burner with fire from the altar and threw it down upon the earth; and thunder crashed, lightning flashed, and there was a terrible earthquake.  8:5

The first angel blew his trumpet, and hail and fire mixed with blood were thrown down on the earth. One-third of the earth was set on fire, one-third of the trees were burned, and all the green grass was burned.  8:7

Then the second angel blew his trumpet, and a great mountain of fire was thrown into the sea. One-third of the water in the sea became blood...8:8

He did astounding miracles, even making fire flash down to earth from the sky while everyone was watching.  13:13

Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, causing it to scorch everyone with its fire.  16:8

WOW!!  I've read the book of Revelation over and over and still I don't really innerstand much of it, but lately I've been thinking it's just the "play book" for the dark forces, ya know, what many refer to now as the Deep State or the Black Hats.  What I do innerstand is all these fires on earth seem to have been predestined to occur (be torched from above using DEW maybe?) eons ago by whomever these dark forces are.

I recommend you read all of Revelation and decide for yourself what is going on and WHO really wrote these verses (think Constantine and the boys, 325 A.D.) and what the message really is.  For the time being I'm going to be looking for a penny, listening to some relaxing music and working on some crochet project.  Love to all who have eyes to see and ears to hear. 

Nothing Special, Just Random Thoughts

 It's now been over a year since I've posted anything to this blog even though I've had many thoughts I could share.  How could anyone NOT have thoughts about the state of living during these very turbulent, insane times?  The question is whether or not I should share stuff...who the heck gives a hoot what I think?

Well, that's about all for now, maybe I'll decide to go on tomorrow or again next year.  Seems I have to engage with google products on a more regular basis so they don't wipe me out of existence.

No-churn keto ice cream

I'm like many people who love ice cream but don't buy it because it's loaded with sugar.  I try to do my best to follow a ketogenic/carnivore eating style, so I did a youtube search for a sugar-free keto recipe that would fill the bill; there's tons of them that either didn't really end up well (chunk of ice) or required an ice cream machine.  Before my keto lifestyle journey I ate my way through lots of Talenti Salted Caramel Gelato (which I love and probably is much of the reason I needed a keto eating plan!) so when a video by Chef John of Food Wishes of how to make Mocha Semifreddo (which is like gelato) with no machine showed up in my youtube lineup it immediately caught my attention.  I watched a couple of times and then went to the kitchen to come up with my own sugar-free version that came out great on the first try.  My thanks to Chef John for his method, I recommend watching his video to get the technique right...it's easy.

Here is my recipe using his technique with my ingredients:

2 large eggs

1/2 cup allulose (must use to prevent ice crystals)

1 teaspoons vanilla

1 capful vodka (or any alcohol you choose--may be omitted if desired but ice crystals may form)

Scant 1/8 teaspoon tara gum (adds creaminess)

Pinch of salt

Place all in metal bowl and beat well, I use a hand mixer.  Then beat on medium low heat for 4-7 minutes until the mixture is quite thickened and fluffy.  I use an electric stove for this and it works fine.  Remove from heat and place in refrigerator while preparing the whipped cream.

6-8 ounces cold heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla

10 drops liquid vanilla stevia (or desired flavor)

Whip together until "firm" but do not over-whip (you'll get butter)

Add whipped cream to cooled custard mixture and fold in well, you do not have to be gentle.  Place in any container of choice (I use those Talenti containers) and let freeze for at least 6 hours.  This makes about 2 pints.   

I also make coffee flavor:  Add 1 packet of instant coffee crystals (I use Taster's Choice) and I use caramel flavor liquid stevia for this.

Butter Pecan:  Use butter flavor extract instead of vanilla and add 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Mint Chocolate Chip:  Add 1 teaspoon mint extract instead of vanilla to the egg custard mixture and fold in sugar-free chips (I use Lily's).  I make the whipped cream with 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon mint extract.

Hope you try this recipe and enjoy it as much as I do.  You may of course adjust the sweetners and flavorings to suit your own taste.  I love to top this with my sugar-free fudge sauce, recipe is below.

Happy eating ice cream again!

 

Seems "Truth" came along today!

 Well, okie-dokie then....seems today is my lucky day to find "Truth" as I've just registered on the "Truth Social" platform.  It's taken a bit over one year, but the new DJT-spawned social platform has finally opened up for those of us who prefer to utilize the web and not that little black mirror everyone is so preoccupied with from dawn to dusk and beyond.  I signed up quite a few months ago but seems that Don & Friends only use little black mirrors that run on Apples and not Androids (yet anyway).   I always prefer my little laptop to my little black mirror and as soon as I caught a telegram post about being able to get going with Truth Social on the web today...I am there now!  Find me if you want:  MsLeeL

Happy "Truth" seeking!

What is Truth?

Tuesday, 27 April 2021

"Hillary Clinton Hanged at GITMO".....now that's one powerful statement, and explosive news if there is any truth to it.  The 

"Real Raw News" is a blog that I just learned of today while scrolling down my telegram feed.  I read that article and also another stating that disgraced former FBI director, James Comey was arrested on 20 April 2021 and will be transported to GITMO for military tribunal.

These are stories about two people accused of treasonous, and possibly other dark acts being brought to justice.  While the information seems credible and gives me a sense of victory, I do wonder if there is any Truth to them?  

I feel somewhat like Pilate must have felt when he asked Jesus, "What is Truth?" 

Keto Cocoa Powder Fudge Sauce

Day 59 of 365

Chocolate again, yum yum.  I love fudge sauce and peanuts on vanilla ice cream (keto of course) and decided to try making my own recipe since I can't seem to find one I like on the market.  Here is what I came up with, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

3/4 c. Allulose* (or your favorite sweetener)
1/2 c. Hershey's Cocoa Powder (or your favorite brand)
1/2 c. Heavy whipping cream
1/4 c. Salted butter
Large pinch Himalayan Pink Salt
10 drops (or more, to taste) liquid sweetener
1/2 t. Butter Flavor (or any other flavor you like, maybe just more vanilla)
1/2 t. Pure Vanilla

In 1 quart saucepan combine allulose, cocoa and cream, blend until completely combined and smooth.

Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.  Add butter and salt,  continue to boil slowly, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat, stir in flavorings  Let cool at least 5 minutes before serving over ice cream.  Also delicious over fruit, cake or stirred into hot coffee.

Store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.  (I doubt it will last that long :)

*I recommend using allulose because of the way it acts exactly like sugar.  It does not raise blood sugar level or insulin levels and although some may be absorbed by the body most is eliminated in the urine.  Visit allulose.org for more information about this "rare sweetener". 

It's a Chocolate Kind of Day!

Day 168 of 365

Chocolate!  Most people love chocolate.  It's a food that's usually brown and served sweet, a flavor for candy, drinks and cakes but can also be used in savory recipes like chili.  For now we are going to focus on chocolate as a color as shared with us today by Ruth on her youtube channel, Kindred Spirit Tarot, a reading from "The Secret Language of Color" by Inna Segal.

Chocolate--nourish your body and soul #13.  Chocolate is a mixture of brown and black that links us to the Earth providing healthy boundaries and encouraging structure.  It accesses your shadow side to offer deeper insights and growth and also provides you with nourishment and resilience.  Nourish your body and soul with chocolate.  Today, make yourself a cup of hot chocolate and sip it slowly.  Allow the warmth and sweetness to nourish your body and soul.  What does this nourishment mean to you, how can you nourish and nurture yourself more?  Get some paper and a pen, put your feet up and allow your creativity to flow.  Write down 10 nourishing things you can do for yourself in this next week, and do them.  Say:

Divine Intelligence, please awaken the sweetness

and soulfulness inside me so I can

truly nourish and love myself.

Time for a cup of hot chocolate!
