Weekend Ramblings :-)

We had company earlier in the day (my brother brought 12 of his boys/workers), so while they took good care of things outside, I was so busy cooking (to be fair, the hubby prepared all of them and all I did was watch, stir, and taste, lol). Breakfast was served at half past 8 in the morning, midday snacks at 11 am, and then lunch at 1 pm. Saying I was tired is an understatement, but it felt good and satisfying to have had them fed well while they were here.

They left around 5 pm after some light snacks, which included my homemade cold treat - magnum ice candy. I enjoyed one myself while checking out the crypto charts. It's a simple delight made from three ingredients: evaporated milk, sweetened thick creamer, and chocolate. Sweet and surprisingly yummy!

I came across the recipe online and thought I'd make some. Maybe it will rekindle my forgotten love for making cold treats. Well, the candy turned out to be very tasty. The boys loved them and even teased if there were enough leftovers for them to take home. Sorry ^{(not sorry),} but I only made 22 pieces, so maybe next time?😅

Kidding aside, I'm just happy they came and extended a much-needed helping hand, especially when our four boys (hired helpers) couldn't do everything on their own.

Anyway, it's the weekend, and with it comes evaluating our progress during the last seven days (today included). I was not going to give an update today, but the optimism in the crypto market got me feeling enthusiastic. So, here are the numbers for week 28:
