I did get out today. I made it to the event. I've been locked away in the cave for so long, I almost forgot there are people out there. It was a smaller crowd, and the focus was on the events. Still, I am pleased to have made it, and that I was in the condition to get ready and go. All prep, as with dinner last night, was pretty spur of the moment on my part. Since first becoming ill, that is usually the way of it. No major fuss, mind you. My guess is, that may have been the way of it my whole life. I am lousy at time management.
After the event, I made it to the store. There is one thing I forgot, that might make painting the gun a bit easier. Wax paper. Put the tape on that, then cut the tape on it. It makes it far easier to work with the tape. I am still thinking about how to get the khaki trim. I've been looking at videos, and how they do some of the various camo patterns. None are really as complicated. Often there are only a few uses of tape, over the base layer. I have seen some really neat patterns. And I have seen less complex tiger stripe designs. I simply having seen anything quite as involved as the design I want seem to be. It was too windy to mess with trying to paint today. I could have emptied the garage, and tried in there, but... Beyond the wind, I am a bit tired. I almost want to go to bed now. Nope... Not until 20:00 to 22:00. I have kept on days and would like to keep that going.
I have a new problem, in the game. It's not something on my side, however. It's not a skill or knowledge issue. A trophy, something given in the game for doing specific things, is not dropping. So... I've tried several methods others have used, to no good effect so far. There are two other options. Each requires a complete playthrough though. I'm not sure, if this first method doesn't work, if I have the patients for another, other, again, playthrough. I haven't been working on the HP, though my next project for that is to figure out how to use it's graphing capabilities. Yesterday I was busy with the game. Tomorrow, perhaps, I will begin looking for the goods on that. Why? Why not. Further, it will help me get back into math. I would like to get that all heavy again. I'm almost thinking, in spite of the tough last six months, that a corner may be on the horizon. We'll see.
Hmm... How about a deep fried hamburger? I may have some potatoes that were baked but not used as well. I've never tried a deep fried burger. It just sounds... interesting. Later.
Oh, it should be good. I deep-fry a lot of meats lately, including my steaks.
ReplyDeleteSerious nummishness ensues...
Seriously? I am surprised at you. Oh, I know, fats and protein, aye. But... are you breading some of it? Almost required for some things. However... Yes, it was good.
ReplyDeleteGreat sigmas, is it? eat alike? *grin* I have been deep frying food for about the last three or four years much more often. That and pressure cooking seem to be my modus operandi. And, no, I haven't gained a pound. Still right at 280.
I haven't deep fried a snickers bar yet... It's in the works. Oh, once a month or three on those, but... And I haven't experimented with unusuals, such as plantains or even grapes I have heard, or tried donuts yet. But, as I say, I have the rest of my life. :)
If you're feeling UP for it, would love a 'ku from you:)

No breading. I could do egg with almond flour, but traditional (wheat or corn) breading ain't on my diet.
ReplyDeleteSpices, yes. I've learned that my favorite part of virtually any meat is the crispy edges. So I tried slicing strips of steak and chicken last time and frying until dark brown on all outside edges. Heavenly!
Oh, the idea behind slicing was to maximize the amount of "edge".
ReplyDeleteI've been daydreaming about making deep-fried meatballs since this post.
ReplyDeleteAnd then there is this: Bacon Bombs
Rafael!,
ReplyDeleteI might put one or two up then, but not doing the best this and last week, on most fronts. I won't compete, but I was following, a bit. No fuss, just down lately, again, a bit.
Desert Cat,
See, now... that slicing thing? I knew why you did it before explaining. If you eat deep fried foods, you KNOW why! I am just surprised I hadn't thought of that myself. Oh, I'm on that.
I use white or whole wheat, depending on the meat and my particular hunger. I haven't used corn, but for fish I might have to try that. Oh, and panko. The thing with panko is that is must be the whitest of white flour they use. While I love the crisp it offers, there is no good flavor to it. Though... I'm trying to tinker with that to fix it.
