Sunday
Happy birthday to me! I did not ever expect to make it to 54. My goodness.
Nice quiet day. My family is trained to send birthday greetings to me via text instead of phone call. Good job, family :)
Not super exhausted; not feeling as good as yesterday but ok enough. I made some lemon pie filling for a lemony treat. I don’t like the crust part of pie and I spotted this egg-free recipe and thought I’d give it a try. Turned out great! I made a half batch and made it less sweet and more lemony of course. My version:
Lemon Icebox Pie Filling: one 8 oz brick of cream cheese at room temperature (I left it out overnight), beaten until soft and fluffy. Then beat in 1/4 c sweetened condensed milk and 1/4 c fresh lemon juice, a tiny pinch of salt and a drop of vanilla. Chill and eat like pudding! Or double this recipe and pour it into a graham cracker crust before chilling it if that’s how you roll.
Played a lot of Zelda. Unlocked the final sky tower, found another geoglyph, did those two photo quests for the guy in the Gerudo stable, and made my way across the desert to Gerudo town. I hate to say it, but Tears of the Kingdom has taken Wind Waker’s place as my Favorite Zelda Game. I didn’t think that was possible.
Lunch was a little pot of soup made from the last of my beans and rice. I should make new batches of both soon; that was a really easy way to create fresh nutritious soup in five minutes whenever I wanted.
Dinner is three homegrown zucchini sautéed in olive oil and butter, with cottage cheese on the side.
Watching some back episodes of Tasting History while I eat, then it will be time for audiobook and bed.

Belated Happy birthday ? and just wanted to say thank you for all the joy you have given me via LibriVox. I have specifically looked for books you have narrated and have found new pleasures in books previously unknown to me. Thank you so much
