We are trying to make butter!

 Today, LB2 is trying to make butter since we used the last of it. He's running some heavy cream with a little salt in the blender. I hope it works. I want to make something buttery.

Saw The Man from Toronto on Monday. Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson are a trip and a half. Their comedic chemistry was on point.  A wonderful comedy of errors turned buddies film. 

As always, feel free to leave a comment below. I'll let you know how that butter came out. Let me just get some bread......

P.S. The butter was super delicious! Could've used a little more salt but unsalted is fine.

Two series are Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 I have mentioned before that I hate reading incomplete series. Cliffhangers and I do not agree. So last week I was overjoyed that Melanie Cellier finished her series, The Mage's Influence. I have been waiting for months for it to be done. I read books 1 & 2 and hope to start book 3 soon.  

I might be slow getting to it because Tara Grayce finished her series, Elven Alliance. I started this series awhile ago thinking it completed. It wasn't. I discovered that I really suck at being patient. Because of that wonderful realization, I have yet to read the last three books. I was doing my mind a favor by avoiding an insomnia trigger. So, now that it's done I might have to read them right now. I mean, the last novel was released yesterday. I need to read now!

I hope you all check these series out. They are so awesome! As always, feel free to leave a message below.

Is it me or is it blazing in here?

 Hi, Everyone! I hope you all are staying cool in this nasty heat wave. My toes are currently freezing so I have no complaints. We are keeping the air on because we got little ones and others with health issues.

I haven't really done much today aside from helping the sibs online and work on Operation: Shrink Ray. For those who are curious as to what that is.... I just got smaller copies of movies. That's it. Sorry to disappoint. 

In other news, I am sort of on the fence about Lightyear. I keep swinging from "I don't want to see it" to "I can't wait for it to come out". I just don't know. I probably will see it but the sibs may have pushed me into it. I did enjoy Encanto and Turning Red, though.

If you have any thoughts, feel free to let me know below.

Uncharted: A super brief review

 I watched Uncharted earlier this week for the first time. I'll be honest and say that the casting is what intrigued me. Tom Holland, Mark Wahlberg and Antonio Banderas in a movie? Yes, I was going to see it. I even got my dad and the Sibs to watch it.

I liked the film. I thought it a little fast paced but still easy to follow. My dad thought it a little Indiana Jones-ish but since he's a fan of that franchise, no complaints. Due to it's open ended ending, the sibs demanded a sequel that doesn't exist as of yet.

I thought it was cool they took this video game and made such an appealing movie out of it. I had never heard of this one. I do hope a sequel is in the works, if only to get the sibs to leave me alone.

Mulberry Picking

We have a Red Mulberry tree in our backyard and it has ripened. Today was the third day of berry picking. I did some picking alone this time. The Sibs helped with the earlier work.

For those of you who don't know what a Mulberry is, I will try to explain. Red Mulberries look similar to Blackberries. They are sweet with their own very light flavor. They grow on trees as opposed to bushes or canes. Our tree has so far required little to no care aside from pruning. In fact we didn't even plant it. Score one for bird poop. 

When picking, you do have to be on watch for bird poop on leaves and falling from above. LB1 hates that tree because he keeps getting poop in his hair as he works in the garden. I don't mind. So far, we have frozen about six cups worth of berries for later. Below are some pictures.
