A culinary note.

I cooked "new" potatoes (both red and gold), cabbage, and corned beef last week.  Now, everything has lasted, but the meat better than the others.  Heavily spiced, with the packet that arrives with it, it stores well.  More so when put away in a timely fashion.  *cough*  The potatoes and cabbage are edible, but... there isn't much left to them.  If I go that way again, I will cook the corned beef to be on hand, then when I really go to start digging into it, I'll do the veggies.  Bread would be really good, but something with a bite in it.

I've got to get going on things, but really can't.  Not quite yet.  It is 73 already, though only went down to 72 during the night... in this front southern room.  And yet I feel chilly.  Strange.  Sometimes I really feel the heat.  It depends, I suppose, in part on what I am eating and doing.  And how my health is.  Diabetes can take it one way, the bad heart will take it another way.  There are possibly other things.  Just a curiosity, for me.

Bucket list?  I don't like the notion.  To be honest, other than being a billionaire or something weird, within the givens, I've... done more than most can.  Besides, I've got a long time to go.  Thirty years?  Yeah, or more.  Minus assassination or accident.  All things, born of flesh, must die.  Some, however, die much more slowly... are quite resistant.  I'm not the only one, though I think only a fool would suggest I am typical.  I just wish I could enjoy the humor in it a bit more often.  Maybe I am getting there?  We'll see.  If I get the back roof sections cleaned, and gutters, and have the kitchen, bath, and bedroom in trim by next Friday, I'll call it a maybe.

I don't think I'll be making it much longer today.  The floor is about to mop itself with me.  I have fresh cabbage cooking, though I'll just reheat the potatoes, along with the corned beef.  Hmm... they aren't old, the potatoes, so much as waterlogged, or such, I think.  The cabbage... just doesn't last well.  Fresh should be good.  Good morning, and day, to you.
