Well, not at speed, but... yes.

Dishes have been started, meat has been set out to thaw, the instapot has been partially filled with water... more when the jug fills, "brunch" was made... brunch by my time, and little bits of else are in the process or... such.  Just a bit, here and there, I am tired.  Fighting through it, but not quickly.  Giving more than what I thought I had, often, at a given time.

The chicken is getting a hot soak.  I couldn't get the blood sponge off the parts, nor get the parts separated.  I am giving it about as long as it takes the jug to fill.  I now keep three half gallon jugs of water in rotation, for everything from tea to soup.  Will probably continue that even if the r.o. tank is refilled to the proper pressure.  It just gives me instant fresh water, more than even a full tank really will.

Kidneys and liver are out.  Kidneys for a meal, directly.  The liver is going into pate, which I will store... some refrigerated, some frozen.  I want to see how it does, for how long, and how well.  Thusly, I was required to pull bacon.  It goes with liver, almost necessary for a balanced meal.  I wonder if lard or tallow would do similar?  Those are far easier to add on a whim.  I'll check.  I'll probably have a little of that liver, as is, to see about frozen liver, and how it tastes after periods of time.  Learning as I go.

As well, a beef chuck roast has been pulled.  I plan to make a instapot roast with it, see how that works.  That should keep me in vittles for a rather long time.  I do need a few fresh veggies, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem.  Half an onion, garlic, cabbage of something similar, and some root vegetable.  I am beginning to pull back from carrots, and potatoes are a rare thing.  I'm getting better, if perfection is probably anything but.

Oh, pretty soon, I will get pull the waterers.  It is cool enough that they will probably freeze tonight anyway.  And I want to put things out on the line anyway.  Might as well get several things done.  Ah, and, I'll get a fresh pail of water, in order to refill the waterers and give the girls cold and fresh water.  They like that very much.  Fresh milk or a hard cheese better, but... fresh cold water has been a true treat for them since I started doing it.

A bit of tinkering, then... to real tinkering.  Later.
