Small things.

Some efforts are still incomplete, others have been rightly finished.

I am not sure which was the beginning.  Eggs were set to softboil.  Worm food makings were gathered and the food processor was arranged.  I used both the slicer blade on top and the chopper below.  Hmm, I... think I had the wrong side up.  That is for cheese.  If I flip it, there is a slicer, more for the likes of potatoes and carrots... and some of the harder roots or cores as I was working with.  Live and learn.

After getting the chopping done well enough, I took in the batch, adding about a cup in to the worm.  I'll keep an eye on that over the next few days.  As is I will feed in a quarter section of the round, doing that as soon as one group of food seems to be mostly gone.  I don't want to starve them, or overfeed them.  If I get some bins shortly, I'd like four (at least) so as to make two complete systems, I will split out some in each system... in part to experiment, in part for security, in case one batch goes bad for some, any, or no good, reason.  I hope to do that soon, just in case.  I have been, unsuccessfully, searching for the ice cube trays... to freeze cubes of the food.  After frozen, I'll put them in a gallon bag.  So... not quite done, but the worms are fed so that's a good thing.

After that, and a bit, the eggs were done.  Actually, just as I was, mostly, finishing the worm food and feeding, the alarm let me know the eggs were done.  I put them in for a cool down, then went back in search of the ice cube trays.  Annoying when things can't be found... it's not like it's just one.  I think I have eight or ten of them.  Even stacked they should be highly visible.  Bleh.  I finally gave up and watched a part of a movie.

After the eggs cooled, I peeled them, reserving the shells.  This time they peeled perfectly.  I did two dozen, as I will be adding them to salads as well.  Next time I might even do an extra dozen, to play with deviled egg recipes... if I can produce homemade mayo.  Or I may just do an extra dozen soon, just... because, while the may is fresh, if I can indeed make it.  I consumed three of them still a bit warm and fresh.  I did them just right.  The rest were put in an airtight container and refrigerated.  Yeah... I've forgotten to do that before.

Actually, there are several things I can't seem to find.  One of my plastic wash basins, the ice cube trays, and... another thing or three.  I am not in shape to go double digging for hours, either.  I can do bits for a while, just not much for long.  If all else fails, I will purchase a few tomorrow.  I know, but it is what it is.  Tomorrow?  Your tomorrow, my evening... in the morning...  :p

I have done another set of groups of things as well.  Including 'baking' the eggshells.  Technically I don't need more, for the worms.  But with making two new bins, I do.  After that, I will continues to save, bake, and grind eggshells, but for the compost heap.  It's a bit of a game.  No doubt.  But it's fun, and if it actually pays off?  Cool.  If not?  How much am I really out?  If nothing else, it really feels as if I am actually conserving... not the faux government or big biz type of manufactured green for no real good sort of thing, or social or political false chest pounding.  It may all end up a failure, but it will either end up helping me eat or it will simply fail and go away.  It won't be kept, in spite of failure, as some sort of socialized conditioning or false accordance with men for man's laws and wants but without fruit.  Hmm?  Yeah.  Gosh though, have to remember not to toss paper products, and fruit cores.  Though some things will be tossed, like orange, lemon, citrus in general peels, and maybe potato peels if I ever do peel those.  Some things I just don't wish to mess with to that level... not yet, or now.

I do hope to do a bit more work, but I am still a bit down.  Weather, perhaps.  Though there are a host of potential problems, most likely working together.  A few things at a time though, is fine.  I'll take it.  Later.
