  • I have this silicone lid I got from Aldi. It’s just a giant flat circle of silicone with an indented lid in the middle. I bought it for my giant soup pot as I didn’t have a lid for it, but it’s so much more than a lid. It’s amazing as a splash guard, it seals via vacuum to pots so you can lift from two points instead of just the handle, it’s good for covering food and keeping it warm… I love it more than I ever thought I would. And it’s super easy to clean!








  • Mortgage and three cats (plus a clingy stray and three chickens outside). Luckily the husband has a good job so we’re ok.

    I always try to live my life imagining this all being a memory to my elderly future self, and thinking about how I’d be reacting to it. Am I feeling strong pride or regret about my choices? Is there something that feels like it matters right now that will totally be forgettable in the grand scheme? It really helps me when I encounter difficult decisions, and it’s how I realized that I need some time to realign myself with the things that bring me joy.

    Best of luck to you, I have a sense (knowing nothing about you) that elderly you is SO freaking pumped that you’re doing this.
