I’ve seen my neihborhood slowly shifting in the few years I’ve been here.
I got everyone on my small street to start gardening and they got other blocks to start, we all share our extra crops for the most part. No one is very good quite yet aside from a few houses who’ve been doing it for years and have been trying to help us non green thumbers.
There’s a plumber 2 streets over who’s lived there for a decade, I used him for a job and now he’s the go to guys for most of my direct neighbors.
I make my own oat milk so I buy oats in bulk. A few people in the neighborhood buy a bunch from me for much cheaper than the grocery store and some have even started making their own oatmilk with me.
Anytime someone needs tech support they come over to me first, I used to see a geek squad van in the niehborhood weekly since there a lot of elderly. I hate doing it, but my god those tech support companies are slimy.
I’ve done a couple carpentry projects in the neighborhood and helped fix quite a few fences.
I feel like I moved here and said “why don’t we help eachother out?” And it was a revolutionary idea that no one had thought about before.
When I was in the city it’s just what you did. People survived with eachother but out here in a weird mix between the sticks/suburbs it seems like most people don’t even know their neighbors names.
Is it difficult to make the oat milk? I drink a lot of it and have been thinking about trying to make it at home to save money, but I wouldn’t know where to start.
Super easy, we just throw 1 cup of oats and 4 cups of water in the blender, blend it for ~45 seconds and put it through a cheesecloth bag a time or two. I like to throw a little maple syrup in there to sweeten it up a bit.
As another commentor said, you can soak the oats overnight, and that makes it better, but most of our oat milk is for my toddler and I’m not prepared
It is very easy. You soak your oat overnight, throw away the water add some fresh one, blend it and strain it. That is the same for pretty much any vegetable milk.
