- My basil plant that I replanted in a pot to bring it inside to survive the winter (I even had a schedule for it -- when I would put it in sunlight, when it would go outside, when I would bring it into the living room). But apparently I didn't have a good schedule for watering it because I apparently drowned it and it died but I just left the dead basil plant on the porch for a few months. My roommate made me throw it out this week :(
- My "tack board" that I made out of quark board that is hanging on my wall but doesn't have any pictures or anything on it because I still haven't gotten tacks for these 6 months I've been living here...
- My terrace I was going to put at the back of the garden for my tomato and pumpkin plants to grow on. I put the stakes in but the terrace is still on my porch...
Whatever. I can feel hope for all of the above (and the COUNTLESS other half-finished projects) because tonight, I finished a project! I made almond milk!! It is super tastey, pure, and just GOOD. I am so happy I made it so I can experience making my own vegan milk, but it definitely took a little longer than I thought because I couldn't find the correct strainers for the almond "puree" that you filter, so I had to use loose leaf tea bags, which are small, fragile, and kept ripping.
When actual cost and opportunity cost is totaled, buying Blue Diamond Sweetened Vanilla Almond Milk is cheaper. But, it feels good knowing I can stick it to the man and DIY if I want!
And yes that's all 1C of almonds makes...
