Working through things.

A bit of laundry tonight.  Just the towels.  I had them all, all that had been used.  However there is something odd.  My towels, from time to time, seem to go rancid.  Is that even possible?  It smells as if oil, or something, got in them.  If I left the drawer open, and one of the girls, on a bad day, got in there and nested... or some such.  But that doesn't happen.  Could it be that the washing machine isn't removing soap properly, and that is what is going bad?  All I know is, I took extra precautions with this load, checked them after washing and drying, and then cleaned the drawer out before putting them away.  No, I really do try.  I just can't keep up on everything that can go wrong.  I keep checking with those who can smell, to make sure I don't smell off.  Seems to be okay.  And my nose is sensitive to things, like the off putting scent of the towels.  And usually I know there is something a bit off, or could be, here in the cave.  I thawed fish recently, but forgot to get that cooked or in the refrigerator in a timely fashion.  I knew that was... leaving a mark, on the nose.  Even when it was taken out, that lingers.

Never mind.  I did attempt egg fried rice.  I am either not doing something right or I don't like egg fried rice.  Perhaps brown rice just won't work for that dish, or I would have to accept it as less.  I have had egg fried rice, of various sorts, that I thought I liked.  And other dishes that taste like what I did produce.  Perhaps it's a mood thing, or as I suggested, the wrong technique(s) or basic building blocks.  The pan is great.  It is a wok, really, in the shape of a skillet.  There are some limits and some advantages to the skillet form.  Oh, and I looked up a bit on the wok/skillet of this sort.  I think it will do me well.  And, maybe, someday, or for outside cooking in the warmer months from time to time, with the open flame propane system, I might get a wok and figure that out.  I just don't want it for the flattop, or even without flame, really.  Oh, here is a video regarding these sorts of things, and cooking with them.  They aren't exactly alike, but close enough.

Oh, I should have called my friend last night, to remind him to shop for bread.  Well, and to also ask him to pick up some pastries.  It's not like I eat those daily, weekly, even monthly really.  A couple of sweet rolls every other month is... reasonable.  Ah well, I may find some other treat.  Or I could try to stay awake long enough to call him yet this morning.  We'll see.

Bits and pieces of other things have been happening.  I can't quite work at any speed or with any focus.  Medicines make a huge difference, or do when they do.  Off them and I am a flounder, out of the water.  I'll keep making jabs at this and that.  Shopping this evening, then perhaps more laundry.  I might finish off what of the dishes I have in the rinse now.  Bleh.

Good night.
