Wednesday, 23 2020: in my kitchen

I made yogurt this week.  I bought a Greek Yogurt maker and went to town.  We can't get plain yogurt in Celestun and, if we get back to Mexico at all this winter, our trips to Merida will be less frequent.  So... I learned to make yogurt.  It was delicious; so thick and rich and delicious!  I think I'll make some more!
I also tried my hand at fried green tomatoes.  That was a first for me.  Yummy!!!  We got our tomatoes from Michelle.  Wonder if we can get more???

We booked our flight for 17 November.  You gotta love the airline industry.  The flight from Green Bay to Merida, through Chicago and Houston is cheaper than the flight from Houston to Merida alone!  We thought we'd drive to Texas and leave the car, maybe at Uncle Harrold's and then fly from there.  Then COVID... then Uncle Harold, then ...  And now I find it is significantly cheaper to fly out of Green Bay.  Go figure!  
Now I need to work on the paperwork for Gemma.  I have the validation that she is my Emotional Support Animal, now I'll submit that to United and see what hoops are next.  

Justin chopped down basswood trees on the preserve part of our property.  Gotta love a man wielding his chain saw!

We’ve decided not to sell and not to rent Hartung.  We will hang out there for the last month or so before we fly.  We will need to blow out the lines and shut this place down.  Justin has been trying to talk me into Hartung as an Air BnB for several years.  I am warming up to the idea.

I listed a few things on Facebook Marketplace and found success. The red couch from Brusssels is gone as is the stinking trundle bed.   I was so, so happy to see that walk out the door!  I hated that thing.  Now it is gone.  We still have the trunk and the duck decoys and a few other items. 

   

Now I need to make a giant list of all the things we need to do.  I've been a list maker from way back -- thankfully.
