66: FIFTEEN DAY HARD COVID QUARANTINE IN CHINA IS OVER...

It's our FINAL day in quarantine and we are elated with anticipation of getting out of the apartment after 15 days of quarantine! We are busy as bees, making granola and getting our bikes ready to hit the pavement as soon as we are freed. We need to pass 2 temperature tests though before we are given our "freedom papers". No garbage bags or messing around this time!! It's time to break out of jail! At the end of the video, there is a special surprise for you all and a thank you for supporting us through our quarantine. We had a lot of ups and downs, but in the end, we are thankful for all that we have been blessed with. Here is Brown KILLER granola recipe: Brown-Town Granola (adapted from Alton Brown) https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/granola-recipe-1939521 Ingredients 3 cups rolled oats 1 cup whole almonds 1 cup pecans/pumpkin seeds 3/4 cup shredded sweet coconut 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons regular molasses (not blackstrap because it is too bitter and salty) 1/4 cup coconut oil 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 tsp vanilla ½ tsp cinnamon Directions • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. • In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts, coconut, and brown sugar. • In a separate bowl, combine maple syrup, oil, and salt. Combine both mixtures and pour onto 2 sheet pans. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to achieve an even color. • Remove from oven and transfer into a large bowl. Add raisins and mix until evenly distributed. I like it really well cooked so leave it in longer if you like. ENJOY and let us know how it turned out?! #china #qingdao #covid19 #coronavirus #quarantine #quarantinelife NEW TO OUR CHANNEL? We are Eileen and Brown Councill. Welcome to our channel and a glimpse into our life adventure! 2020 was a year of uncertainty and change (for all of us, right?), but we overcame the challenges and decided it was time to chase our dream, to sail around the world! Did I mention that we had very NO sailing experience? Before leaving Qingdao, China, our home of 4 years, we sold almost all of our earthly possessions and started our international search to find the right sailboat that we would call "home." After 5 months of unanticipated twists and turns, we found what we were looking for, a used Leopard 44' Catamaran located in St. Lucia. So, here begins our journey, filled with unmatched excitement and honestly, a bit of trepidation as well. We have much to learn as we travel the world on our floating home and we intend to document that journey and share it with you. We are so glad you have decided to join us, and we hope that you will find our story so compelling that it will inspire you to chase your dreams too! As a viewer, we consider you to be part of our family and look forward to getting to know you. Don't hesitate to comment on our videos and ask questions. We will do our best to answer every correspondence! All we ask is that you have patience with us as we work really hard to improve our camera/video techniques and ability to tell a story. Hopefully, you will be as BLOWN AWAY from watching, as we are in experiencing and producing our adventures! HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT US?
