  • Definitely Oat.
    There are brands that make some specifically to emulate the flavour and texture of cow milk, often named something along the lines of “not milk”.
    Alternatively “Barista” variants often have a slightly raised fat content and added soy or other protein to improve foamability.

    Cheapest option is to make it yourself: ~90g oats per 1000ml water

    • soak and rinse oats
    • blend oats, pinch of salt and water
      • don’t blend too long, the mix gets a bit gluey otherwise
    • strain through a cheese cloth or similar
    • leave in the fridge overnight

    Optional stuff:
    add ~2 dates to the blender for a bit of sweetness
    you can experiment with adding some cashews to the blend, or ~2 tbsp of neutral tasting oil to the blender for creamier consistency.
    I heard xanthan gum can also be added to thicken the mix.





  • Painting miniatures, 3d printing to make it more affordable in the long run

    Playing (optional) single player board games - picked that one up during the pandemic. I enjoyed some free print and play (or basic playing cards) games like:
    Utopia Engine (both parts or expansion, whatever Beast Hunter is) - pretty much an exploration rpg? Very simple to setup and learn.
    The Quiet Year - a map drawing game that gives you prompts to expand the map and lore of a small commumity/civilisation. Very peaceful.
    Gridcannon - a single player puzzle/tactic game played with a standard deck of cards. Been a while but I enjoyed it a lot in pandemic times.

    You can also play games like Gaslands or even Warhammer by yourself if you’re into that sort of stuff. I enjoyed gaslands by myself the other day :)
