I think it would be fun to make my own yogurt

Maybe I have written about that before on this blog. I don’t remember.

Anyway right now my favorite store bought flavor of yogurt is peach.

I am thinking about what flavors of yogurt I have tried. Lets see plain, vanilla, strawberry, peach.

It makes me wonder when is the first time I remember eating yogurt? I don’t remember eating yogurt a lot when I was younger. I don’t even remember what my favorite brand or flavor of yogurt was back then.

I wonder what flavor of yogurt I want to make? How about kiwi, or dragon fruit. Yes, that is it I could make dragon fruit yogurt. i wonder how that would taste since I don’t even know what dragon fruit tastes like.

So I think I would want to make dragon fruit yogurt. And probably lots of other flavors off yogurt I have never even thought about.

I think I accomplished some of my goals in 2023

I probably wrote my 2023 goals down in this blog somewhere however I don’t want to take time to go looking for what I wrote.

I am sure I said I wanted to write more code. Or any code for that matter. Since I did not write much or any code in 2022. And I accomplished that. 4

I followed along with some godot 4 tutorials. And then I added some of my own code to the project.

In 2023 I also realized that if I want to make computer games. I should make computer games. Even though I am not good at making them right now I just have to keep practicing and who knows I might be able to make a game on my own one day. I hope.

As for blender I certainly did not get much done. So I did not reach my goal for blender. So in 2024 I hope to make a lot of projects in blender. Probably make assets for 3d games. And I also want to learn how to use blender grease pencil.

And in 2024 I also hope to get good at using krita and mtpaint. I have not made much with 2d computer graphics programs. So I hope this year that changes.

I also want to do more machine learning and find my first computer bug as an ethical hacker.

One thing I did in 2023 that I had wanted to do for years was use obs and stream on twitch. I also hope I can stream blender and godot. Its a thrill to stream on twitch.

And this year I hope to drive an RC car for the first time in years.

The other day I was thinking about Salami

And I realized I had never thought about how it is made. I thought it was maybe like sausage where it had to be cooked. At least I think sausage needs to be cooked.

When I was younger we used to eat salami, with cheese, crackers, pickles. I used to look forward to that. The food would be sliced up and all I had to do was put together what I wanted and eat it.

I probably had not thought about Salami in years. So while thinking about salami I thought it would be nice to make some of my own.

So I want to make my own salami and also make my own sausage. Maybe I could do regular and meatless versions of both.

When I was younger I remember I liked grilled cheese sandwiches

I don’t remember the last time I had a grilled cheese sandwich. I was going to say cheese sandwich then as I was typing cheese sandwich I remembered grilled cheese sandwiches.

I liked my cheese sandwich with only cheddar cheese. There are lots of things that I could have put in my grilled cheese sandwiches but, I probably never thought of putting anything other than cheese.

Oh, that reminds me that I used to like Monetery jack cheese. I don’t remember the last time I have eaten Monterey jack cheese. Probably a year or two.

I don’t remember if I ever put Monterey jack cheese in a grilled cheese sandwich. If I didn’t I sure wish I had thought of it. I probably have not even thought of Monterey jack cheese in years.

I even forgot its my favorite cheese.

I will have to read a book on making different types of grilled cheese sandwiches.

I want to improve my memory

I have read Remember it by Nelson Dellis two times. The first time I practiced a technique from the book about remembering names and grocery lists. But, that did not last long.

The second time I read the book I practiced the name remembering technique and write down my Person Action Object representations for playing cards and the numbers 0-99.

I have worked on remembering playing cards but, not much. If I read remember it twice I must want to improve my memory so I have got to set aside everyday to practice. Otherwise I will never improve my memory.

So this year I want to work on remembering names and playing cards. And memorizing my PAO for the numbers 0-99. So I will see where I am at by the end of 2023.

Years ago I got a little booklet on how to make soda

In the booklet it showed how to make soda with a tank of Co2. I probably never read the entire booklet even though it was maybe not more than 30 pages long.

And I never got around to making my own soda. And I am sure making my own soda would have been a fun project. I wonder what flavors I could have come up with.

Anyway this year I want to make my own soda. Oh, I know what else I was thinking about. My favorite soda flavor is root beer. I also like root beer popsicles.

And since I was working on modeling an ice cream cone in blender yesterday that got me wondering is there root beer ice cream? I will have to look it up. Or how about root beer yogurt. Yummy.

I found a video of someone making root beer ice cream. Not that I searched to hard. I never usually go past the first page of search results.

This year I want to play rocket league

I have watched rocket league tournaments on television but, I had never found the game that interesting or wanted to play it.

But, in one of soft drink tv’s videos I believe he said its one of the best or maybe he said its the best sports video game out there. So him saying that made me want to try it.

And also since rocket league is free why not try it.

And who knows I might end up liking rocket league more than I think. So this year I hope to play it and see what I think of the game.

This year I also hope to read Learn how to program

I have tried to read the How to design programs several times but, then for some reason stopped reading so this year I want to see if I can read the book all the way through.

Because I had fun thinking about how to come up with solutions to the exercises and learning how to use Dr. Scheme.

I believer I started with the first edition but, I am not sure how much I read of that. Then I tried to read the second edition maybe 2 times but, never finished that. I probably got to maybe example 100. I am not sure how far I got exactly.

So hopefully I will get it read this year. I will see.

Earlier this week I watched a video on how to make ice cream cake

So a goal for this year is to make a ice cream cake. I think I have only eaten ice cream cake once in my life and I liked it.

I know that I like eating cake with ice cream. Particularly chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. An even better way that I like to eat cake and ice cream is to mash up the cake in the ice cream. Yummy.

I am not sure if I have ever baked a cake. I know I have baked at least 4 pumpkin pies in which I used a pumpkin that I grew myself. And I am sure I also roasted the seeds from that pumpkin and ate them also. What fun.

I want to jump rope regularly

When I was younger I just could not get the hang of jumping rope. I probably could not even jump over the rope one time.

It was only later when I got older and got a cheap jump rope that I found out that yes I too could jump rope.

I suppose its like juggling. When I was younger I wanted to juggle but, when I tried it I was horrible at it. Back then I thought well I have to be good at something right away or there is no way I am ever going to get good at it.

Now I know different. If I want to get good at something I have to practice practice, practice.

So this year I hope to eventually jump rope every day for at least five minutes.
