I've watched some really interesting YouTube videos over the last few days, slotted in here and there between shopping, visiting and visits to us. Sometimes I choose YouTube in preference to watching a pre-recorded television programme because I can pick and choose and slot in viewing in the space it takes me to eat lunch or have a cup of coffee. I can also watch it in preference to the news, as once I have heard the headlines I feel a real urge to take a step back. After all there's nothing I can do except live my life calmly, quietly and as peacefully as possible.

Just recently I have been watching a few tips and money saving channels and really retro ideas that actually make sense for now. One that I came across on Saturday was this one. Try and ignore the annoying AI voice, but enjoy the photos that don't quite match up with the words, I found some of them made me laugh, so it was entertaining in every sense of the word.
Wouldn't a step back to a lot of the old ways be a welcome relief at the moment, well I think so ... but then I am a Granny. 😄
My washing goes out on the line in all but the worst of the weather, I shop predominately with cash, I don't buy what I don't need and I repair what I already have. I reuse, recycle and re-invent before I throw most things away. Oh, I make mistakes sometimes, but then don't we all. But doing our best in difficult times can only be a good thing.

This more food based one is charmingly retro, and very on point with todays escalating food prices. It's also American so I loved the completely different foods that it shows. I do like the idea of 'biscuits and gravy' still popular I believe in the USA today, but for me in the UK that always brings to mind a dish of custard cream biscuits smothered in Bisto. 😐
This mornings little 'reset' was lightly stewing up six little apples that had lived in the fridge for far too long. One portion for breakfast with a Weetabix and three more in the fridge for later in the week. Nothing wasted, everything being used up in a good way ... granny would have been proud.

ReplyDeletePressed publish too soon first time
DeleteWeird that you should have a picture and mention the washing on the line - another coincidence between our blogs today - spooky!
I only seem to find you tubes that make me cross! and have a blog post about that later in the week - more coincidences
I know!! I went over to read yours after I published this ... great minds think alike eh, and well ... it is Monday!! ;-)
DeleteI have some days when they make me cross too. I once even got a bit cross at Jude (Rewilding Jude), he kept walking backwards and forwards over and over ... I was obviously having a bad day. :-)
DeleteSue, thanks for sharing those channels. And you mentioned biscuits and gravy...that is what I make on most Saturday mornings. I brown some breakfast sausage, mix it with a packet of white gravy and we eat it over biscuits. It's delicious!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to give it a go. I'm a dab hand at making scones, and savoury scones seem to be the same as your 'biscuits'. I've never poured a white sausagey sauce over them before though. It all sounds intriguing, but very frugal and relatively healthy too. :-)
DeleteI’m fascinated by ‘biscuits and gravy’ and have often researched online recipes for same - haven’t actually made any yet but my sister ,who lives in the USA, but hadn’t tried them until recently says they are delicious and Debbie above agrees so I must give it a go 😀
ReplyDeleteTQ for the YouTube recommendations
Alison in Devon x
I'm definitely going to give it a go. :-)
DeleteThanks for sharing the videos-I’ll sit down later and enjoy watching them. Catriona
ReplyDeleteI hope you do, they were a bit different to the ones that I usually watch, but very enjoyable. 😀
DeleteI really struggle with YouTube videos, there's too many amateurs babbling on and saying "errrr", I have to turn off!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to start hanging my washing outside, it goes on the ceiling drying rack in the utility room in the Winter, it dries fairly quickly but you risk being garrotted by a maxi dress when the cat wants his tea! xxx
