I suppose.

It is a Friday, after a busy couple of weeks.  I have been experimenting with food, medicine, supplements, and much else.  Cooking and thinking about cooking, shopping, and figuring.  I have a great deal to do in the next week or two as well.  But, for now, for tonight, for the weekend, I will be slowing it down.

I split the stock between two equal sized pots.  I was only able to fill one, so far, with revers osmosis water.  Yeah, I use that for all cooking and water-based drinks, and ice if I make it at home.  They add up to 72 quarts, but aren't that full.  Perhaps eight tenths full, at max.  Still, a goodly lot of water.  My system only stores, what, like three gallons?  Then goes to simple make-on-demand which is as slow as molasses in January.  Actually, I think it is.  It pretty much stopped.  Or so close that I didn't bother.  One pot is full, the other is half full?  So... I'm up until I can fill the second one.  Which is fine.  I have the full one on the back burner, the burner that is tricky to control because it seems more powerful  By the time I get the other pot full, and up to a simmer, then check that it is stable, I should have the finicky burner suited to that pot.  Or I hope so.

By the way, the mushrooms had pretty much cooked out, I think?  In any case, I decided they were done.  I did try one.  While the texture was fine, the flavor was... just not there.  I suppose if I put put them in, then pulled them and seasoned them, and put them back to finish, they might work.  Or they will just absorb grease.  It might be a lost cause, but I would like to tinker with things to see about using those to add flavor, and yet saving the meat for other things.  Maybe a lost cause but what do I have to lose?

I am hoping to get to bed by midnight.  Who knows.  I will sleep until I wake, maybe then some.  Tired.  I took off the compression socks for a brief respite, though will put them back on for the night.  I have several more light compression, some heavy compression, and various open toe to try.  Yeah.  For daily and nightly I will need... enough.  I have been using olive oil as a lotion.  Most others I have tried burn.  My skin is probably stressed on my feet.  Improving, but it really got out of hand there for a bit.  I will keep at it.
