So far so good.

I didn't sleep until 3:00.  Since I had dinner, and wanted corn, I had to sort of jog through the food in my stomach.  I didn't do really well.  Still, I got the corn going.  I actually had miscounted the number of ears in one bag.  I only had ten in the one I used.  As it turns out, that was fine, I couldn't even eat all of those.  I ended up eating six, which isn't bad.  Yes, yes, as is customary with the first large batch of corn done by and for myself on any given year, I burned the top of my mouth.  It seemed okay, until later.  It's not as bad of a burn as it usually is, just a mild doughy tenderness.  I am not having to deal with... cooked meat.  Yes, that and pizza.  I can only assume the top of my mouth is not as sensitive to heat as it should be.  Still, this is much better than usual.  I may have the four remaining ears this morning.  I am not sure how to reheat.  I don't trust microwaves, for some things.  I may just boil water, put these in that once it's boiling, turn off the heat, and give them ten minutes to warm?  Yeah.

I have a bit of business to work through this morning... day.  It's almost afternoon.  I am almost sure I won't get to a thing until afternoon.  I did transfer one kefir container out.  Which gives me a gallon and a quarter to half.  The remainder will tank me off.  It seems to last fairly well in the fridge.  If not I'll just have to change it out.  I am doing fairly well with culture farming, always having some going.  I never tried sourdough because it sounded too fussy.  Well, and I don't make bread often enough.  My next big project is a wheat grinder, so I might consider that.  Though, from what I have heard, grinding wheat by hand, even with a good machine, is a bit of a beast.  The little ones make it easy, but you don't get much flour for your time.  Something I need to look into before I get that, I suppose, are a set of screens by which to separate good from fluff between grinds.  I won't be grinding from berry to flour in one pass, two at least.  I'm not sure about other types of flour, such as rice.  That would be interesting.  I've avoided that because of the cost and unfamiliarity.  Just... thinking.

After business, and corn, I am still hoping to hit the kitchen.  I'll know more later.  It's a good day, everything is doing well, I just can't seem to get the machine kicked into gear lately.  I will push today.  Push, push, push.  Later.
