Actually I can.

Think about food, that is.  Even on my off days.  I don't get to eat until tomorrow afternoon.  Fine.  I can still consider what I might eat.  And, maybe, do some cooking in prep.  Some things are better left not cooked, like meats.  The scent is too much.  Even God suggested the oblations from such were... much favored.  If cooked meat can claim God's attention I simply would not have much resistance.  However, there are some things I can cook.  Rice, for example.  It smells okay, for cardboard.  :p  It tastes better, more so with butter.  Simply on a smell thing, it just isn't all that tempting.  I'm thinking making Elmer's glue probably might be of a similar order.

And I can watch vids.  Make plans, set things to thaw, stuff like that.  Hmm... if I could get the kitchen in order, I could probably do more prep.  Like, if I want onions chopped, sliced, diced, or such... or carrots... for stew or saute...  Of course, that would mean cleaning.  Have I mentioned that I need to do cleaning?  I do.  While there are a thousand things I haven't eaten, that I know of easily, which I would like to try, there are also thousands of things I know to eat, like, and would like to eat again.  Some from longer ago, some from more recent learning.  One of those things, and maybe sometime this week, is liver.  Beef, though really calf, liver.  With onions, and gravy.  Absolute favorite?  Yes and no.  If you were raised on them, you learned to like them as a part of family and home.  There is more than just the flavor.  Now, if my mom cooked them, than probably both.  But, cooking them on my own, I have a 50/50 chance of scoring it right on the flavor front.  And yet, that is on the menu for this week.  Trick is to thaw in time.

Actually, once I fully figure out my system, thawing is much easier.  I am learning how much I can eat during meal periods.  I am learning that, over time, I am actually eating less (and enjoying a whole lot more).  In a bit more time, I will truly peg how much to have prepped and thawed for each day.  More?  Since one of three days I don't eat at all, I have time to thaw just the right amount.  My two eating days have to be consecutive, so... it is much more regulated and segmented.  Now just to figure out more exact amounts, if also to have extra good food on hand just in case, and then put regular practices into play.

It's actually fun to tinker with food on the off day.  To consider what could be made, might be made, or even just examine fantasy foods I would most likely never be able, or possibly willing, to make.  If video could convey scent, yeah, no.  Since it can't, I can play all day in the virtual kitchens.  It's sort of like women on video aren't tempting.  I can't sense them.  I can't smell them.  We can't look into each other's eyes.  Simply not tempting.  Oh, well, yes, ideas.  Nothing more, usually far less.  Must be difficult for those who have no control, or... such?

Liver?  Yeah.  I really am thinking that, gravy, onion, and a big glass of milk would be super.  Not tomorrow.  I'm going to let the thought simmer.  It'll be thawed.  But I'll wait until Tuesday.  I may be adding something new... a bit of bacon for the fat.  Why wait a day?  As I told my last, others, and even you.  Because I can.  *wink*
