Sunday Leftovers: Volume 01: Issue 47

Howdy true be-loggers, welcome to issue 47! Only 5 weeks until Volume 2 - crazy stuff. I have been sick most of the week, so I was pretty boring, not much to talk about. That being said, let's open up the fridge and see what's left over.

[Deodorant]

I have been reading about the potential impact of aluminum based deodorants - basically lot of potential brain and memory issues. Smelling good at the cost of my fantastic brain is not worth it, but I don't want to be stinking people out so I tried several aluminum free products this week.

Smells good, but kind of itchy. After a few days didn't notice the itchy.

1 1/2 cups nutella
2 cups light cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2. Make 6 sandwiches with the bread and nutella. Cut each sandwich into 6 to 8 pieces. Pile the sandwich pieces into the prepared baking dish.
3. In a small saucepan, combine the cream, salt, and vanilla and cook over medium heat until warm.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs. Slowly add the cream mixture, stirring constantly to make sure the eggs do not cook.
