No, I'm having a ball. Sleep is still screwy, gnats are a pain, work is at a standstill, but life is good. Oh, real gnats. The other thing was more like a gnat of the mind and no more of a problem. A little testosterone and reason to put that bug to rest. I am hoping to hit town sometime today. I would like to buy a couple stacks of tuna, maybe a stack of canned chicken, and some other food. Enough for about three months on top of filling the pantry upstairs for a month. I hope to put it all in some kind of a rotation. Maybe canned veggies and fruits too. While I am at it I will look the store over a bit better. I am almost sure they will have freeze dried and dehydrated foods, though I could be wrong. Just a few cans of pre-mixed recipes, beef stroganoff and beef stew, for example, for really easy meals. It is not perfect but it is about as much as I can reasonably plan to be able to use.
Ah! I got the trash and recycling out, plus the kitty litter dealt with. I had been meaning to do that Friday. Which seems about perfect. If I had simply tried to do it Sunday I would have had it out by Tuesday. I do put in effort, I simply have been getting swamped and confused by sleep issues and hunger, though I often miss the target regardless. Planning to do things Friday gets it done by Monday morning. I will be skipping chili, for now. But another pan of beef, beans, and rice sans rice should be quite good. And rather than try to mix a batch of chili, while I am in town I may pick up a good small smoked ham to add to the rest of the beans, along with sour cream and milk. Yum! Sour cream takes a nominal bean or bean and ham soup and turns it into super yum. Milk just does a body good. Whole milk, three gallons a week now that spring is here. Like I said, my arteries are as clean as a whistle, I might as well enjoy that.
I wrote an article for a men's site. I have advised the owner of the site of my wish to publish it there. Oh, no money is involved. Nor is there fame. This is simply the beginning of something, perhaps. As I... begin exploring my notions regarding women, figuring out what has worked that is salvageable from the past and what is simply not functional given my new goals, and of course as I put those into practice, I would like to write about the experience. Win, lose, or draw I hope some other guy out there can decipher something and go on to a win. Marriage is a dirty job but somebody has to do it. Being willing isn't enough. Being able isn't enough. What is enough? I simply hope to find out, or learn something as I try to figure it out.
The next time I am in town at the right time I hope to see what is available with regards to sauteed cerveaux. With the freakiness about some issues, perhaps calf will not be available. Lamb or even pig might do. It is difficult to gauge how "protective" the government has gotten on some issues. If I can find a source, even if it isn't available immediately, I would be quite pleased. Oh, don't get all squeamish. Besides, if we are going to bother disturbing the life of an animal for it's edible parts, we owe it to the beast to use those parts fully. As well, I should much more easily find items by which to prepare sweetbreads. Uhrm, as soon as I come into my own a bit better. Just having a source will ease my mind on these things.
Have a great day.
I'm a fan of canned tuna. Not so sure about 'all' the parts of other animals though. There are some bits that I just won't eat.
ReplyDeleteOut of state at the moment. Remind me if I forget after the first of the month.
ReplyDeleteR.W.T.,
ReplyDeleteWhile I have always been... a bit of an explorer regarding cuisine, literally starving for a couple of weeks, or even a month or more changed my WHOLE outlook on food. Here is a dare, if your health can handle it and you have some time... Do the little thing I just did. Three days of absolute starvation, zero calories. You can drink zero carb drinks and of course water.
Meh, I'll be nice, two days. My vittles (or victuals if you must) will sound de-lish when you are through (actually, they would taste quite good now, you just wouldn't try it). Now think about 15 to 20 times that (though pains end after a week or two, but return HARD as you feed back up. Though it's best to feed back up very slowly after a long haul. Just... trust me. But two days? You can eat your fill right away... Oh, the other thing. You like hotdogs, right? :p
D.C.,
I figured you had gone on vacation or business. Hope you are having fun, or... such. Either that or you died, but... I couldn't smell anything at your site, so. :p Oh, hush. You have worried on your side of things before as well. Then again, it might smell a bit here either way. Bah!
"Fiddling while Rome burns", as they say.
ReplyDeleteI trust enough the slow pace of this collapse that it would not hasten unduly while I was away gallivanting in paradise one last time.
Every day could be our last for... 1,001 reasons? Men are lucky that way. On medicine, just today, my bp was 215/166. So, seize the day, even the moment.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever wondered if, somehow, when all men are dead, women will remain for another decade or two? Oh, they will still blame it all on men, of course. If Christ hands out favors when I die... You know I'm going to ask for that... Ha!
