Wolfwalkers: Movie Review

The Before:

    I've seen parts of some of the movies made by this company; The Song of the Sea and The Secret of Kells. From what I have seen, they are really pretty films, but a bit quiet. I was ready to shut this off if it was too much whispering.

The Feels:

    I LOVED THIS MOVIE!! It was just beautiful! The plot kept me guessing and the characters were so much fun! It has been a while since I have seen such a creative movie. I love that it was about friendship and family, and it had just enough realistic/darker themes for adults to enjoy it too. The artwork and the music had to be my favorite aspects. I just wanted to jump through my screen and be a part of the word that was created. 

*A little bonus, it is very wolf friendly. I worked with a science teacher who told me about the bad rap that wolves have gotten in the past. This has led to many wolf populations becoming endangered. 

The Concerns:

NOTHING.

Rating: 10/10!!

Minimalsim Journey: Entry 5 Cooking

    I like to bake... but I really can't cook worth a darn. BUT I'm trying both! The baking this year has been fairly easy to get into. Cakes, pies; I even made ice cream the other day!! (Without a maker)

Ice Cream Recipe:

1 can of sweetened condensed milk

2 cups of Heavy Cream

Whip the cream until it peaks. Fold in the condensed milk! Add in what ever mixings you would like. I added vanilla and some marshmallows. Put this in a small container and wrap it in a damp cloth or towel. Put this container and towel inside a larger container. Freeze for 6-10 hours!

 Super easy and delicious!!

    I've also been trying to cook more. The other day I made some venison meatballs and spaghetti. Some of you might be thinking "Um... venison?" Yup. My dad is a hunter in the rural Midwest. Of course I have venison in the freezer. From what I understand, it's also a more eco friendly/ethical meat; organic, free range, local, killed as humanely as possible, and helps with the deer population which would otherwise ruin our local ecosystem. 

    I've also started experimenting with salads and different greens. I would like to get to a point where I eat a more vegetable based diet. And I'm working on it.

    My next goal is to start cooking fish! I cooked some crab in the oven and it was delicious! (Only problem.. I cannot afford that on a regular basis with my oh so wonderful teacher salary.) Soon... just not right now.

Shit Posting

 I'm so tired of the shitting on others online. I've had yet another woman and IBPOC shit on me with out even knowing me. One, said people that get into abusive relationships should have known better. The other, called me racist because I was annoyed with the way a wealthy white judeo-christian youtuber was using a word.  I forget how big of assholes people can be. I blame it on the times; everyone is stressed. I'm cranky, they're cranky. This is just people not showing each other the empathy that they deserve. Which is something I aught to practice.
