Cooking.

I am setting up burger... half beef, two third ground turkey, and a third ground pork (without additives, just meat).  This cuts calories, and changes the taste a bit.  I am frying it in the bit of lard which was used to confit the garlic, but which wouldn't fit in either of the containers for it.  It was too low of fat meats, anyway.  So... I... well... so much for calorie reduction.  Still, should have a nice garlic flavor!

I tasted the onion I pickled last night.  It... really was pretty good.  Now, for my dollar, I added a tablespoon of salt.  It's how my mother would have done it.  Well, she would have added sugar too.  I won't add sugar.  Still, splitting the difference.  The odd thing is, while it seemed full yesterday, it looks about a quarter full now.  Odd.  I will drain some of the liquid and add more onion.  I did add a couple dozen peppercorns as well.  No garlic, I like that separate?  Will see, in time.

I am hoping to craft creme fraiche yet today, or get it going.  Kefir whey and whole whipping cream, plus time.  Overnight, or two.  But, just a bit.  I can only use just so much of the stuff.  A dab on these veggies, perhaps on taco salad, but not by the cup, by the tablespoon.  So, a pint or half pint.  If I have a special meal, or some other reason to make more, sure.  But, for now, a cup or two at a time is plenty.

It is somewhere between 74~75 F out there.  There is a breeze which cuts that.  And it is partly to mostly cloudy.  So it doesn't have the hard feel.  That is twenty degrees or more than the recent averages.  Yet, as mentioned, if feels good.  I have the windows and at least one door open.

While a very nice day, I think medicine is getting to me.  It's just slowing me down.  I haven't done much, other than cooking.  Hope to do some things.  Will see before long.  Maybe food will help.  I did have eggs and bacon for breakfast, with kefir.  Good, it just didn't push me to much else.  Will keep trying.

The hamburger is done, and cooled enough to put in a container?  If so, I'll start on the turkey and pork.  Then have a taco salad.  Soup for tonight, beef.  Later.
