Not so quick but easy to make brekkie

Hot Choco with Mallows and French Toast

For the hot choco mix, I used:
1pc Bag of Beans Tablea
1pc 200ml Bear Brand Full Cream Milk
1 tbsp Muscovado Sugar
a dash of cinnamon

Stir in low heat until grated choco melts and natural oils begin to appear.  Topped with mallows.

For the Toast:
3pcs Wheat bread sliced into half
2 egg yolks
2 tbsp approx of condensed milk
generous cinnamon

Melt butter in low heat, dip the bread into the mix and fry until brown.

Best with fruits and sausage or bacon.  I thought I have cayenne pepper to spice up my drink but cant find it anywhere in the kitchen 😅

What is the point of sweeping the floor

It just gets dirty again?

Sure can relate to Agnes on this (Hamnet, p218).  So, I find myself wanting to write something about finding the motivation to clean and it's relation to one's mental health.  Personally, I hate cleaning in general.  I get too wrapped up in the task and I haven't found the efficiency to do so thus taking more time and effort than most.  Stumbled upon the 20/10 method and seems practical and doable approach to cleaning.  I feel like I am doing something similar already as I attack smaller tasks but will keep in mind the shared tip on keeping the activity in short bursts and track with a timer.  Not sure about getting others involved, honestly I don't like cleaning when people are around, it makes me self-conscious and well it hinders my movement and thinking lol if that doesn't make sense maybe it's just me.

Speak plainly

So I'm barely making progress with Hamnet and the jump between two timelines took me a while to adjust.  I'm at the part when Agnes is gone missing and Will, in his attempt to find her whereabouts, went to ask his brother in law.  I find it funny how Bartholomew impatiently prompted Will for quick but simple answer to his question:  Is all well? @p128/789 ebook.

Anyway, didn't share in goodreads as I've just updated my progress a couple of pages ago :D  I feel the need to post and share here instead.

Followed up by these words: "I cannot divine" got me googling, who the heck still speaks like so nowadays.
