The smells.

Even if you aren't so much a meat eater, the scent of baked bones, and broth makings, is easily alluring.  If you are more a carnivore, such as myself, it is downright cruel.  I soldier on.  I am not sure this will make much stock, to be honest.  It sure doesn't seem to have much flavor yet.  I am hoping the halves of the knee I baked and added will... do something.  I may simply have too few bones, not the right kind, and all such.  It is, after all, an experiment.  It does have over a day yet to cook as well, plus or minus even another full day, or minus what I wish.  Plus I can play with the level.  Too much for flavor?  Reduce.  Too strong?  Add water.

The t-bone is thawed.  So I will be having that shortly.  I had to rearrange the pot to the back burner.  I thought about grilling, but just didn't feel like that today.  I believe I will make a lemon, butter, caper pan sauce to top it.  I'm not usually in to pan sauces for steaks.  I've probably been watching too many chef vids.  Then again, that I have such things on hand... probably means... yeah...  I'm a foodie, of sorts.

I'm Back!  Yeah, well, doing two things at the same time, food will almost always win... especially when I've been teasing myself with the scent of food all day and night.  I did do the pan sauce.  Frankly?  Great, but not for steaks.  I like just meat when eating steaks.  No sauce, no ketchup, no... no nothing, expect maybe more steak.  However, that did give me an idea.  That would be a perfect mix into which to saute spinach.  Oh could I go through spinach that way.  Pop-eye my eye.  Oh, and mushrooms.  And, you know, toss in some raw nuts of some kind.  Maybe all of that in one dish and call it really good.  I would, will probably.  AND that gets my fats, easily.  It's strong enough to even take swiss chard or kale or such.  No more fond farewells?  Definitely no more waste.

I had a couple of the eggs, split longways, on the side.  I think I made a mistake, threw ketosis off.  I'll have to get back to fats with a bit of protein and a tad of carbs.  And, perhaps, back to fasting if I can get potassium back under control.  Ugh.  Getting my blood sugar down to the 120's and several times, until I hit the orange juice.  That really tripped things up.  I guess I am amazed at how bad, and what, can mess things up.  I am not even close to finished learning though.  Just, hopefully, I can learn more with my eyes than with the diabetes tester.  Read the label!  If that doesn't always get it either.

Oh, and I'd really like to fix ribs... using the pressure cooker to cook them mostly done, then a dry, unsugared, rub.  I thought about this and that, but anything on my mind required sugar.  After orange juice, I just... won't go there.  My body seems able to handle a couple of beers even.  Just, repeat after me, no sugars... no direct sugars.  At all.  Those, though, I will only do on the grill.  I'm not sure if pressure cooking them will work out.  I'm, since seeing that, now just really curious.

On with the day.  Later.
