When did I crash?

.
.
According to the phone it was probably between sixteen and sixteen thirty.  I received a return call from one of the rabbit ranchers.  It was a good conversations.  It regarded the rabbit breed I was less inclined to consider, if in part due to ignorance.  She was vastly more cordial in person.  :p  she does, and will, have rabbits available, currently and in the immediate future, but summers are off for breeding, so after the arriving lots, it will be a while.

Anyway, I want to research the breed.  Rex.  Another, pig latinized?, word for king?  Her clarification was what I generally want in a rabbit, if she spoke right and true and if I heard what she actually said and understood corretly.  From what I gathered, a reasonable meat rabbit, if a bit slow to grow, which is pleasant enough to be a pet?

A lot of caveats, but... those are the questions everyone needs to ask about every conversation and reading they do.  We, too often, hear (read) what we want to hear (read), censor what is disfavored, inconvenient, or too complicated for one blink set understanding, and make assumptions about the data follow, lead, and speaker (writer) which truly isn't from the data.  Leading it.  Following it.  Or turning the mere messenger into the prophet, or orginator, developer, actual author instead of merely the or an observer.

I did put the last load of laundry over, put the food away, and cleaned and soaked the lettuce, spring onion bunches, and radishes.  As well, I left a few packs of meat out.  I had wanted pork sausages, or ground pork.  While most pork was reasonable, ground pork was terribly expensive, but I found slightly diced pork on a serious sale... easy carnitas!?!  I think that is what they are called.  That, brots, and the roast will all be cooked tonight, to last the week.

The carnitas will be made, most being added to an egg casserole.  I... have heard of simple egg casseroles and baked omelettes.  I am definitely an omelette guy!  So I had to do a bit of digging as to the difference.  After just the first vid on baked omelettes... just as I thought I failed to see, it hit me.  Whipping.  It is a matter of how long and well you beat the eggs.  Gotcha!

Prices.  Mostly upward, none down, if mostly not as bad as anticipated... except with beef... $7 or $8 a pound, for chuck roasts!  Availability wasn't too bad, if I didn't check tp or such.  Beef was bad, but not as bad as Iowa, at $4 a pound for hamburger, $6 and more there.  Pork was actually similar or less... to Iowa.  I bought enough meat for two small packs a week for about two months.  Not a lot of meat, and pretty light eating, with as much better filler as possible.  Carnitas, warmed and spiced, would do well on salads too.  I hope to add to the larder early next month.  I am definitely not wasting.

Tonight?  Another shower, finishing laundry and dishes.  Hitting the counter tops... finishing those, and cleaning the stove and oven, then doing sweet cooking!  A clean oven will call even the Lord's blessed attention.  Cain, Cain, Cain, veggies are second place, even in God's way.  Offer them up, not in pride but humility, and your reward will be fitting.  ;p  Later.
