Chilly

It's not just me, right?

It's chilly here in Florida today.

It was actually nice when I went out

to feed the animals this morning,

but the house is cold.

And it's NOT just me.

How can I tell?

All my oils are solid.

(The butter one is a little melty,

but that's because I just took it out

of the microwave! LOL)

I have switched to these pretty glass

bottles for all my oils. They don't drip

or leak like the ketchup bottle ones did.

And they are pretty.

The vanilla is homemade.

I made it 2 years ago. 

It's been in the dark of the back of my pantry

since then. I tried it after 6 months and

decided it tasted like vanilla flavored turpentine

so I never used it, but I also never tossed it.

(I made 2 quart jars!)

The other day I tasted the imitation junk I've been

using lately. (Real vanilla is ridiculously expensive...)

It tasted like watered down vanilla flavored turpentine.

Huh.

So I put it in the pantry and pulled out my version.

It's DELICIOUS in stuff.

Anyhow.

Mmmmmmmmmm.

Butter flavored coconut oil is my

other new favorite thing.

I use it on everything.

Especially my favorite breakfast.

*Which I just ate, even though it's 2:30 in the afternoon.

Beau loves it too.

2 fresh, lightly fried eggs in butter coconut oil.

Half a bag of cut okra done in the air fryer.

Mix them together and drizzle some more

of that yummy butter oil and add a good

shake (or 6) of Everything Bagel seasoning.

YUM!

Beau loves the okra and I sometimes share

a piece of two with him.

Truth: not today. Or yesterday.

Today he was munching on a horse hoof.

The farrier just left.

Update: the Peppermint Cheesecake Brownies

were good last night but AMAZING today.

I had one for "breakfast desert".

That's a thing, right?

Like most things baked with a stevia blend,

they are much better after 24 hours in the fridge.

Totally tasty!
