I'm going to try to have the next video released on Friday Jan. 26th at 7 pm Eastern. Please turn on your notifications so you don't miss it! See you then!!!
Thanks! Hope you can use this - maybe towards your frig fund. You could also get another mini frig and stack them. You do nice videos. Thank you for the effort!😊
Thank you for the "Super Thanks"! I really appreciate it and yes I will put it towards another refrigerator! I know my mini-fridge won't last forever but it sure has lasted longer than I thought it would. Thank you and have a wonderful night!
Thank you! I appreciate you letting me know your vote on the Living Room rearrangement and redecorating! It's using what I've got to freshen up the place.
I haven't had fries with gravy in a long time! There's an old restaurant in the country I used to go for that! I like your idea to add the cheese curds to it.
Hi Sarah some more yummy food panty Items ! I have some peppermint flavored coffee it's really good! Oh & it was nice to see all the fresh fruit. Beautiful colorful food plates as usual . Will look forward to your next video, got my bell on God bless !
Thank you so much! I enjoyed putting all the meals together. The bright colors of the fruit help make it pretty! I like peppermint flavored coffee, too! See you on Friday and God Bless You, too!
Hi Sarah, I so enjoy your videos! They are very calming to me. Those chalkboard stickers are usually used on kitchen items but I don’t see why you couldn’t use them on your plants. All your meals looked delicious! Enjoy your week!
Thank you very much! I am happy you are enjoying my channel! I think using the labels on the plants would be fun over top of terra cotta pots, we shall see. I had a lot of fun preparing the meals this week. They turned out better than I thought! Have a great rest of your week!
I absolutely love cheese curds. It's just farmers cheese, very simple to make, minimum ingredients. It's just small chunks of cheese that hasn't been processed or aged. Very yummy
Loved your " boots dance". Yay,! Snow=❄️ 🐢 part two!! Ooh! I want the ice skate cookies! Soo cute❤😊. It's crape like grape! So fun having a friends day out with you. You always make it so fun & I love your grateful heart!! Thank you for elevating the simple pleasures like the gorgeous fruit colors!! It's great you thanked the pantry. Your plates are always so pretty! Ooh! Try the cranberry topping on that granola! Thanks for sharing the Snow scenes and Mr. Turtle shots are always appreciated. This video was really fun to watch!!
I'm so glad you had fun watching this video! Mr. Turtle is going through all kinds of weather! Those cookies were beautiful. The food pantry has amazing desserts! I enjoy putting together pretty plates of food. It makes it easier for me to stay on track with my health goals. I'm happy you enjoyed the snow scenes, that was a pleasant surprise to get snow! I appreciate your kind words. Have a great day!
Happy Tuesday! The snow is so pretty, you live in a lovely area. And oh my goodness, the fruit looked vibrant! How nice to add such deliciousness to each meal. Thank you for another great video - I enjoy each one! Stay cozy and have a great week! ❄️
Happy Tuesday to you! The snow was a real treat, it was a surprise to me. The fruit tasted like Summer! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Have a wonderful night and thank you for watching!
Hi Sarah! 👋🏻 Are those Cattails by the pond? The snow looks so pretty coming down. I really enjoy all aspects of your videos, but I have to say, you outdo yourself when it comes to plating your meals. They are so beautiful. You should be a food stylist for a magazine! Yes to the living room tour and I look forward to seeing you on Friday. Take care.
Hi Judy! The snow was a beautiful surprise! I enjoy as you said "plating" the food, that is so much fun for me! It helps me stay on track with my health goals. I'm adding the living room tour to the list of videos for the future. Have a wonderful day, Judy, and see you on Friday!
Hi Sarah.....Have FAITH & patience with your plants👍 If you know which types you have it always helps to research a bit requarding their water, light & food requirements. I think a lot of green house plants go slightly dormant this time of year ( I just found 3 new babies on my Pothos - yeah ME!🤣🤩👏) ....they CAN all continue to grow, but tend to thrive the most in spring/summer of course. CHAT with them as often as you talk with Turtle & you’re SURE to have great success 😃😂😎 BLESSINGS from Maine❤️
That's a good point! Talking with the plants will help them grow! They do tend to go dormant as you mentioned. I'm glad the petunia looks as good as it does especially coming from the dump! There's still life in it. Congrats on the baby Pothos, isn't it clever how plants grow. Have a great day!
Hi Sarah! I am happy to see another video from you! Those cheese curds are a Midwest delight, they're like string cheese consistency but in little round chunks and they are SO good! You can batter them and fry them and they're delicious. Dairy Queen should sell them at their restaurants! Your meal plates always look so good and creative, I am going to take notes haha.
Folate can aid in sleep. The form you received is a better absorbed vitamin. People that carry MFTHR genes have trouble absorbing traditional vitamins and use this form. Your meals looked so yummy this week. The fresh fruit made me crave a summer time bowl of mixed fresh fruits!
Oh that's good information, thank you so much! I wonder if the Folate will fix my sleep long-term, that would be fantastic. I enjoyed putting the meals together! The fruit was really good, too! Summer is not too far away.
Hi Tink! Thank you so much! The meals were fun to put together. I'll have to think of a clever way to use the labels in the kitchen. Have a great night, Tink!
Your meals looked so good!! I haven't had a tuna melt in a long time. We had pork tenderloins that we cooked and made pulled pork sandwiches. I love oatmeal. I have been cutting up apples for mine. Today, i used frozen fruits. Take care and stay warm. ❤
Thank you! Your meals sound good, too! I like pork especially pork BBQ. Oatmeal is such a comfort meal this time of year. Apples do sound yummy to add to it! Have a great night!
Sarah, I love your shows. They're so relaxing and informative. You make everything look so pretty. I watch on my Roku tv, so I can't leave comments. I just figured out though that I can using my iPad. A few weeks ago, you bought this two piece metal gadget that you didn't know what it was for. Well, it's a hand held ice crusher. You hook it together, place an ice cube in it and press handles to crush. We had them growing up and I still have one now. Good for little jobs.💕
Awww, thank you so much! I'm happy you enjoy my videos! That little gadget from the thrift store is fun. Thank you for sharing the info about it. I love how "vintage" items are so practical and can last a lifetime! Speaking of thrift store shopping, I have my eyes on a style of jacket I had when I was a little kid. A jean jacket with fuzzy wool inside! It is made in USA by Levi's and priced at $18. What do you think of that pricing. Thank you for watching and for your comment!
When the enzymes are added to the milk to make cheese, the milk separates into cheese curds (the solid bits) and whey (the liquid). Think of the Little Miss Muffet poem. The whey is then drained off, and the curds are pressed to create cheese wheels. The wheels are then aged to "maturity," depending on what type of cheese they are making. The curds you have are most likely fresh, unaged, cheddar. When they're really fresh, the cheese squeeks when you chew it. Yumm!!! Poutine is a famous French Canadian dish that is made by sprinkling cheese curds over hot french fries, then covering with hot brown gravy, which helps melt the curds. Basicly, it is a "heart attack on a plate" type of meal, but sooo good! It's worth trying since you already have the curds. The Canadians who watch your RUclips channel would be delighted if you did.
Thank you for the information on cheese curds! I've never heard of cheese that squeeks! In the South, we do have fries with gravy but adding the cheese curds sound pretty yummy. It's so fun to try different foods from the food pantry!
Hey, Sarah! You got some great items, especially the cheese curds!! But then again, i love cheese...lol! Thanks again for a relaxing video, i really enjoy and look forward to them. Have a great rest of the week!!♥️
Thank you very much! I'm happy my videos are relaxing for you! I like the cheese curds, it's a new-to-me product, glad to try it. Have a wonderful night and thank you for watching!
That bagged salad is one of my all time’s favorites. Looks extra tasty doctored up. I think you should use the labels in the kitchen! Always a treat to watch your videos. Thank you for showing us your meals!
Thank you, I enjoy putting pretty plates together! It's a great way to enjoy my meal. I think it would be wonderful for you to do this with your meals, too! Love hearing that!
I am inspired by the meals you prepare with your food panty items. They look so good! I am only able to go to my local food pantry once per month. I am so thankful for it, too since I am on a medical leave due to issues with Hypothyroidism. I saw a few videos back you mentioned eating Brazil nuts for your thyroid. Any other advice for thyroid health you can share? Stay warm and see you in the next video.
Thank you so much! I enjoy putting together pretty plates of food. I'm glad you have the opportunity to shop at your food pantry, even if it's not frequent, every little bit helps! What seems to have helped "move the needle" so to speak in my own thyroid journey has been walking, not eating before bedtime (no late night snacks!), eating nuts and seeds including the brazil nut, and turning the water to cold at the end of my showers (I count to 20). I cannot say that one thing has been "the cure" for me but I would add making the decision to distance myself from people who bring my health down. It truly matters the intentions others have for one's health. And prayer, that matters greatly.
Thank you for replying! Just three months after my Hypothyroid diagnosis, I was diagnosed with Hypertension. I was out of work six months last year because I developed an irregular heartbeat in the middle of this mess! I decided then I had to stop worrying and letting others try to include me their drama. Everything stabilized enough for my doctor to release me to return to work. Just two months later I almost passed out. After testing in the Emergency Room my TSH was high again. I felt so defeated and frustrated. My doctor increased my medication six weeks ago. I was tested yesterday and she called today to say now my TSH is too low and T3 too high! I just want to cry. She adjusted my medication and wants to retest me in three weeks. I pray. A lot. I know God is with me. I have faith everything will work out. Have a good night and stay warm!
I can imagine the frustration you have experienced. I believe the human body often reflects what the mind and soul are going through. Prayer and visualization is a tool to combat the difficulties of life. Do not give up hope on your thyroid. Through difficult times, good things can come. God Bless You!
Hi Sarah, your videos are uplifting. I enjoy them so much. The stickers should work fine on.your plants. Like that fruit bowl it looks delicious. Hope you have a great week. Judy
Here in Wisc. Cheese curds are a favorite of many also called squeeky cheese. The fresher the squeekier. They also bread them & deep fry them. My mothers name was Sara. Always look forward to your vlogs. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Have been sub. for about 1yr.
Your pepper bottle reminds me of the window's oil jar because it never seems to go down. Your videos are so relaxing. You could use the labels both ways.
Yes, it's the bottomless pepper jar! It's never ending! Thank you so much for watching, I'm glad you find my videos relaxing. I'm excited to find ways to use the chalkboard labels!
Hi Tina! I'm glad the temperature is above freezing for you. Spring is just around the corner, not too much longer! Thank you for watching my video and glad you enjoyed the meals.
Hey, Sarah, so glad you decided to share with us today. I love the chicken wing played. It looked delicious and say hello to Mr. Turtle for me. I love him.😊
Here's my product recall story. Months ago a store had a special on a new brand dog and cat food. I got the cat food but never took it from my car to my house. Then the dog food was recalled for listeria I think. I returned the cat food even tho it wasn't part of the recall. I reasoned if the meat in one was contaminated, the same meat was in the other. They did refund me. A few weeks later,ALL PRODUCTS by that company were recalled. I'm glad I followed my instincts, and won't be quick to buy new brands on the market.
That's a good point! It seems like there's more recalled products these days. I hate to throw out fresh foods but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! Like you said, follow your instincts. I'm glad you were able to get refunded for your pet food!
I hadn't heard of the recall either and I received two cases of salad mix that I'll probably get rid of just to be safe as well. Thank you for mentioning it in this video.
Your videos are always so upbeat Sarah! Nice blessings received from the food pantry. It's finally above freezing here, at least it was during the day. Woo hoo! Freezing rain tonight, though. I'm still eating what I have in my freezer, fridge and pantry. Zero spent on groceries this month. I'm determined to make it to February. Lol! Your salad fixings looked so good. No fresh veggies left except for potatoes, onions, carrots, and a butternut squash. See you Friday. Stay well!
Hi Chris! Thank you! I'm glad it's warmer for you, that's good. You have a zero spend month, great idea! Smart way to start the new year. You can do it, just 8 days left until February. I enjoyed all of the meals, the fruits helped spruce up the plates! Have a great night, Chris, and stay warm!
Thank you! The items offered at the food pantry are unusually nice, for sure! Happy to get the fruits and veggies especially this time of year. It helps make the meals special for me.
isn't it great to get fresh fruit? each plate looked so appetizing. i find that eating a bit of greek yogurt with a spoon full of peanut butter really helps me to sleep well. i think it's the protein that helps to keep my blood sugar level. i hope you are keeping warm and healthy - see you on friday.
Hi Karen! You're talking my language, I love greek yogurt and peanut butter! The fruit has been a terrific treat. The plates were fun to put together, I like making them pretty! My heat's had a mind of it's own but I got it working and toasty warm! Have a wonderful night, Karen, and see you Friday!
Cheese curds are just cheese that isn't as melty, bit chewy. Make fries, top with cheese curds, add gravy on top and you have a Canadian staple, Poutine!
Thank you for watching! I'm in the South, too! On the East Coast. I haven't shared my state but may in the future. I do hear food pantries are vastly different across America. This is the first food pantry I've used, so it was a new experience for me. I actually didn't think to use it because I thought it was for folks that were in worse off circumstances. I'm grateful to qualify for the service.
If you finde a video on how they make cheese, it is actually Yung cheese that haven't been put in a box or container that shapes the cheese and then it going to meture from mild too medium or strong cheese. So cheese curds is cheese that hasn't metured. It's kinda like a ferm brie or a soft camonbere. 😊 Sorry if Im misspelling I'm from Denmark. Big hugs from Denmark. 💝🌹🥰
Thank you for watching my channel all the way from Denmark! I like the cheese curds. It looks like butter to me. The texture is unusual, but I like it! Have a wonderful day.
Some great things. I love seeing the pantry walk through. At my pantry it’s a drive through. You get a box. It’s pretty much standard items. No no food items at all. One meat. It’s twice a month. What did you think about the cheese curds. I have never had them.
Thank you very much! I'm lucky to get "personal care" type items and toilet paper at the food pantry, glad to get it. The cheese curds are good! I would get them again. Some of the Canadian viewers recommended adding them to fries with gravy, I'd like to try that!
Sarah we also got snow. But it's been raining here in eastern Oklahoma and now the snow is gone. Which state do you live in? I think the chalk labels are great. I'd use them on storage jars. Stay warm!
The snow has been beautiful! I don't share my state right now, but I live in the South on the East Coast! Yes, the chalk labels are a neat find, been holding onto them for a long time. Storage jars sound like a good idea. I hope you stay warm, too!
Sorry Sarah, understand about the state, I didn't mean to be nosy. There are lots of "unusual" folks online. I guess one does need some privacy. I am keeping warm, thanks!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel corn or rice puffs with different cheeses. Different cheeses means different colors and flavors. I still get them from Amazon, or ask to bring them as a gift. Ok, when travel, always bring a few myself. Every part of the country and every state has something special.
I'm going to try to have the next video released on Friday Jan. 26th at 7 pm Eastern. Please turn on your notifications so you don't miss it! See you then!!!
Your videos leave me peaceful and happy every single time. Thank you for sharing, Sarah!
Awww I'm so glad to hear that! That's wonderful to know. Thank you for letting me know!
Thanks! Hope you can use this - maybe towards your frig fund. You could also get another mini frig and stack them. You do nice videos. Thank you for the effort!😊
Thank you for the "Super Thanks"! I really appreciate it and yes I will put it towards another refrigerator! I know my mini-fridge won't last forever but it sure has lasted longer than I thought it would. Thank you and have a wonderful night!
Good evening everyone! Leaving my comment to help the channel. Stay warm everybody!
It is a good evening! Thank you and I hope you enjoy the video tonight!

Thank you! I appreciate you letting me know your vote on the Living Room rearrangement and redecorating! It's using what I've got to freshen up the place.
if you have french fries put gravy on and sprinkle some cheese curds..look up Canadian Poutine
I haven't had fries with gravy in a long time! There's an old restaurant in the country I used to go for that! I like your idea to add the cheese curds to it.
Hi Sarah some more yummy food panty Items ! I have some peppermint flavored coffee it's really good! Oh & it was nice to see all the fresh fruit. Beautiful colorful food plates as usual . Will look forward to your next video, got my bell on God bless !
Thank you so much! I enjoyed putting all the meals together. The bright colors of the fruit help make it pretty! I like peppermint flavored coffee, too! See you on Friday and God Bless You, too!
Hi Sarah,

Thank you very much! I am happy you are enjoying my channel! I think using the labels on the plants would be fun over top of terra cotta pots, we shall see. I had a lot of fun preparing the meals this week. They turned out better than I thought! Have a great rest of your week!
I absolutely love cheese curds. It's just farmers cheese, very simple to make, minimum ingredients. It's just small chunks of cheese that hasn't been processed or aged. Very yummy
The cheese curds have a different texture but I do like it. It looks like butter to me. I'd get it again! Thank you for watching my video.
I would love an updated tour !! ANY tour anytime ❤❤
Alrighty, that's good to know, thank you!

Hi Sarah.....Have FAITH & patience with your plants👍 If you know which types you have it always helps to research a bit requarding their water, light & food requirements. I think a lot of green house plants go slightly dormant this time of year ( I just found 3 new babies on my Pothos - yeah ME!🤣🤩👏) ....they CAN all continue to grow, but tend to thrive the most in spring/summer of course.

Hi Sarah! I am happy to see another video from you! Those cheese curds are a Midwest delight, they're like string cheese consistency but in little round chunks and they are SO good! You can batter them and fry them and they're delicious. Dairy Queen should sell them at their restaurants! Your meal plates always look so good and creative, I am going to take notes haha.
Thank you very much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the meals. The cheese curds are yummy, and "new-to-me"! Good idea for Dairy Queen :-)

I've been in iccu with pneumonia. I really missed your calming voice ❤ Another great video
I hope you are feeling better and are comfortable! Thank you for making the time to watch my video, I appreciate that so much. God Bless You!
Chalk board labels in kitchen! Those meal plates looked pretty and delish ! Charka yellow container was interesting ! Great video ! ~Tink
Hi Tink! Thank you so much! The meals were fun to put together. I'll have to think of a clever way to use the labels in the kitchen. Have a great night, Tink!
Your meals looked so good!! I haven't had a tuna melt in a long time. We had pork tenderloins that we cooked and made pulled pork sandwiches. I love oatmeal. I have been cutting up apples for mine. Today, i used frozen fruits. Take care and stay warm. ❤
Thank you! Your meals sound good, too! I like pork especially pork BBQ. Oatmeal is such a comfort meal this time of year. Apples do sound yummy to add to it! Have a great night!
You can make Poutine with the cheese curds, which is one of my favorite things ever! You just also need fries and brown gravy. Very easy to make :)
That sounds delicious, thank you for your suggestion! I love fries with gravy!
I always use half the salad and dressing for salad. I use the other half of salad and dressing to make a wrap the next day ❤️
I like your suggestion! Good way to get your salad greens! Thank you for your suggestion.

You do an amazing job . And I love to see what you will come up with nexts.so many good ideas.

Hi Sarah, your videos are uplifting. I enjoy them so much. The stickers should work fine on.your plants. Like that fruit bowl it looks delicious. Hope you have a great week. Judy
Hi Judy, thank you so much! I'm happy to know that my videos are uplifting! The fruit bowl was yummy. Have a wonderful day!
Sarah, You gave us a choice of 3 types of videos. I have a 4th type Going To The Dump. Thanks, BOBZ.
Thanks so much for letting me know. The Dumpster Diving is fun to find "new-to-me" items!

Thank you for being here! I am going to check for the squeek with the cheese curds. What an interesting piece of information!
Enjoy your tea, stay warm.
Thank you! The weather has been up and down with snow and rain. I'm happy to have tea to keep me warm!
Your pepper bottle reminds me of the window's oil jar because it never seems to go down.

Near Chicago. It's above freezing. Enjoy your food. Tina, Al's wife
Hi Tina! I'm glad the temperature is above freezing for you. Spring is just around the corner, not too much longer! Thank you for watching my video and glad you enjoyed the meals.
Hey, Sarah, so glad you decided to share with us today. I love the chicken wing played. It looked delicious and say hello to Mr. Turtle for me. I love him.😊
Thank you so much! The wings were really good. I hope I can get them again from the food pantry. I love Mr. Turtle, too, he's a cute little gentleman!
Here's my product recall story. Months ago a store had a special on a new brand dog and cat food. I got the cat food but never took it from my car to my house. Then the dog food was recalled for listeria I think. I returned the cat food even tho it wasn't part of the recall. I reasoned if the meat in one was contaminated, the same meat was in the other. They did refund me. A few weeks later,ALL PRODUCTS by that company were recalled. I'm glad I followed my instincts, and won't be quick to buy new brands on the market.
That's a good point! It seems like there's more recalled products these days. I hate to throw out fresh foods but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! Like you said, follow your instincts. I'm glad you were able to get refunded for your pet food!
Cheese curds is cheese that hasn't been pressed. I like them as a snack.
The cheese curds are good! It has an interesting texture. I like trying new foods from the food pantry!
Some types will squeak when you bite into them when at room temp.@@CareFreeLivingChannel
That's pretty interesting!
I hadn't heard of the recall either and I received two cases of salad mix that I'll probably get rid of just to be safe as well. Thank you for mentioning it in this video.
I'm glad it was mentioned to me, and happy to share the info! Thank you for watching tonight's video!
Your videos are always so upbeat Sarah! Nice blessings received from the food pantry. It's finally above freezing here, at least it was during the day. Woo hoo! Freezing rain tonight, though. I'm still eating what I have in my freezer, fridge and pantry. Zero spent on groceries this month. I'm determined to make it to February. Lol! Your salad fixings looked so good. No fresh veggies left except for potatoes, onions, carrots, and a butternut squash. See you Friday. Stay well!
Hi Chris! Thank you! I'm glad it's warmer for you, that's good. You have a zero spend month, great idea! Smart way to start the new year. You can do it, just 8 days left until February. I enjoyed all of the meals, the fruits helped spruce up the plates! Have a great night, Chris, and stay warm!
This was a delicious extra special fancy haul!!! All the delicacies!! Fresh fruit is sooo pricey now! You did awesome!
Thank you! The items offered at the food pantry are unusually nice, for sure! Happy to get the fruits and veggies especially this time of year. It helps make the meals special for me.
Yikes 3 bags are hard to carry when you are walking! Great hall though.
Thank you so much for watching my video tonight!
15:59 Oh that looks so good.
Thank you very much!
isn't it great to get fresh fruit? each plate looked so appetizing. i find that eating a bit of greek yogurt with a spoon full of peanut butter really helps me to sleep well. i think it's the protein that helps to keep my blood sugar level. i hope you are keeping warm and healthy - see you on friday.
Hi Karen! You're talking my language, I love greek yogurt and peanut butter! The fruit has been a terrific treat. The plates were fun to put together, I like making them pretty! My heat's had a mind of it's own but I got it working and toasty warm! Have a wonderful night, Karen, and see you Friday!
I enjoy your video's because it gives me idea's to donate to our food pantry at out Fellowship so thank you.
Hi Lois! That is so great! I'm glad to know that.
Cheese curds are just cheese that isn't as melty, bit chewy. Make fries, top with cheese curds, add gravy on top and you have a Canadian staple, Poutine!
I have not seen the cheese curds since, but would definitely get them again. They were good! I would like to try the Canadian fries.

Thank you for watching this video, too!

As always a good video ❤
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed my video!
The snow is beautiful. I live in the south we don't get much snow. Our food banks are different. I was wondering what state you live in.
Thank you for watching! I'm in the South, too! On the East Coast. I haven't shared my state but may in the future. I do hear food pantries are vastly different across America. This is the first food pantry I've used, so it was a new experience for me. I actually didn't think to use it because I thought it was for folks that were in worse off circumstances. I'm grateful to qualify for the service.
If you finde a video on how they make cheese, it is actually Yung cheese that haven't been put in a box or container that shapes the cheese and then it going to meture from mild too medium or strong cheese.
So cheese curds is cheese that hasn't metured.
It's kinda like a ferm brie or a soft camonbere. 😊
Sorry if Im misspelling I'm from Denmark.
Big hugs from Denmark.
💝🌹🥰
Thank you for watching my channel all the way from Denmark! I like the cheese curds. It looks like butter to me. The texture is unusual, but I like it! Have a wonderful day.
@@CareFreeLivingChannel
Thank you so much.
Cottagecheese is kinda the same.. 🥰🌹
I enjoy cottage cheese with fruit! A great benefit to shopping at the food pantry is trying new foods. It brightens up my day!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel
Yes and it is werry health too eat. 🌹🥰
Some great things. I love seeing the pantry walk through. At my pantry it’s a drive through. You get a box. It’s pretty much standard items. No no food items at all. One meat. It’s twice a month. What did you think about the cheese curds. I have never had them.
Thank you very much! I'm lucky to get "personal care" type items and toilet paper at the food pantry, glad to get it. The cheese curds are good! I would get them again. Some of the Canadian viewers recommended adding them to fries with gravy, I'd like to try that!
Update living room tour!!
Alrighty, I'm adding the living room tour to the list for the future!
Please an updated tour❤😊
Thank you for letting me know and for watching tonight's video!
Plants labels!
I like the idea of plant labels, too! I enjoy having plants and hope they begin to perk up more.
😃
Thank you for watching my video!
Sarah we also got snow. But it's been raining here in eastern Oklahoma and now the snow is gone. Which state do you live in? I think the chalk labels are great. I'd use them on storage jars. Stay warm!
The snow has been beautiful! I don't share my state right now, but I live in the South on the East Coast! Yes, the chalk labels are a neat find, been holding onto them for a long time. Storage jars sound like a good idea. I hope you stay warm, too!
Sorry Sarah, understand about the state, I didn't mean to be nosy. There are lots of "unusual" folks online. I guess one does need some privacy. I am keeping warm, thanks!
@@KingKongFan No worries! Have a great day!
Really funny about cheese curds. I bet you've never heard about Pirate's booty ether? Lol
Isn't that like cheese puffs? Instead of orange it's yellow, I believe. Foods are always fun to discover!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel corn or rice puffs with different cheeses. Different cheeses means different colors and flavors. I still get them from Amazon, or ask to bring them as a gift. Ok, when travel, always bring a few myself. Every part of the country and every state has something special.
I'm going to look for it! I think I tried it some years ago and it was good!
All that fresh fruit is made me hungry for fruit and I don't have any.
The fruit has been yummy!
