Some Things Lost...

avatar
(Edited)

Over the years, I have learnt a thing or two, some I have kept and carry until now, others I have already lost or shall I say set aside?



When the husband and I just got married, he spoiled me that I never had to do any cooking. Guess he didn't really like the taste of what I make so he always did them, LOL! I had little to no ounce of creativity and never really approached cooking with reckless abandon, nor I was not confident to try things out.

Things changed however when we moved to our own house and the above photo was one of those things that I learnt to love and do as I experimented in the kitchen. Back then (2017-18) I would scour YouTube for videos on how to's and that's how I made my very first ice cream roll which was quite a success.

But then after sometime, I lost it... I don't even remember when was the last time I baked something in the oven nor created something different from the usual. It did make me wonder why and because I couldn't find a reason, I'm intentionally putting the blame to my hormones, lol!

The good thing is that whilst I lost that newly-acquired "passion" in the kitchen, I did learn another and I call it mini-gardening.



A few years back (still at the other house), I brought out tea cups, mugs and recycled candy cans, planting them with tiny cacti and succulents. Even cut out plastic bottles and containers to grow my yard plants on.



Then I lost it again...

I don't know when I will be able to pick these back up but they certainly were fun memories to me. I haven't done neither of the above here at our second home, but I picked up another, something I enjoy and make time for.

What is it, you might ask...

I'd say it's what I do everyday - having a blast sharing things and memories here on Hive through my write-ups. And I'd like to think that I won't be losing it anytime soon, nor in the years to come... 'coz that would be really sad.

This by the way is my participation to the SilverPrompts for the month.

Thank you for chugging along with me today and everyday.

Smile... laugh often... love more... be happy and grateful always!

I am planning to plant some succulent or cacti now, but since I have an infant, that might not be ideal. He might destroy it when he has a chance.

Cacti are easy to look after, keep it going as a hobby for presents to family and neighbours. Nice to use old tea cups or other unused items that make for different decor.

That's true :) Some I used were those that we never really touched and were just kept inside the cabinets. Thank you Joan :)

I enjoyed so much reading your post and it made me smile indeed. Lovely to see that you are connecting to new things now and hopefully you come back to do these forgotten ones, cause that ice cream looks damn good!

Like they said practice makes perfect, maybe constant cooking will make you better in the kitchen and with time you will know how to bake well.
Recycling is also good, instead of disposing items, we recycle them to serve us a better purpose

You are adventurous and like to try new things hence sometimes other things need to go.😀 So you did not lose it - it was just time to try something new. I think Hive is a great thing that you found. However that ice-cream roll looks good. It reminded me of a semifreddo that I used to make but lost it.😀

That ice-cream roll or whatever looks supremely delicious! 👀

I think folks around here are starting to understand my adoration for treats so...

What was in it? Do you remember?

It was delicious.

The ingredients were Graham Biscuits (brown) and oreo cookies (black ones), condensed milk and all purpose cream. That's what I can remember :)
