Finally!

.

.

I did make it to the post office.  Boy was that box full.  Plus, there was a package.  I was informed yesterday, and said I would be in.  I just made it this morning.  Had hoped to be out later, but getting the shower took... a while.  It was supposed to be the first thing of the day, ended up near the end.  So be it.

That isn't what the "Finally!" is about, however.  Gizzards.  I loved them, how my mother made them.  I have tried to make them... a dozen different ways?  I'd bet.  Never was I satisfied.  Well, today that changed.  I put them in aluminum foil, with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powders, and baked them for 45 minutes at 400 F.  Then I put coconut oil in a frying pan, got that good and hot, and put the gizzards in, with a bit more salt.  I fried each side for about three minutes on medium high.  Then, salted them just a bit more before digging in.

I was afraid the coconut oil would be offputting, with these.  Being that these really are a savory dish.  But, no.  That was fine.  I started worrying that I had added too much salt.  But, again, no.  These need salt.  And, while lard, a mild one, or tallow, would have been even better, this was a success.  I now know how to make gizzards.

Oh, and it looks like my neighbor got the Christmas lights up!  Last night?  The night before?  I am never sure when things happen.  I'll have to text him a thanks.

Getting a goodly little bit of projects done.  While I haven't gotten to boxes yet, I'm... digging my way in that direction.  I may go ahead and start feeding the rabbits in the morning, this morning.  Checking their waterers while at it.  I think I got litter tended, though may check again.  And, one final feeding?  More treats.  I sliced one of the gizzards, and offered it to the girls, but it just wasn't their thing.  More for me.

Later, or goodnight, morning, and day.  Amen.
