That was a pretty good steak.

Well, there is room for improvement.  But, just for a trial run, not bad.  Next time?  Twenty minutes in the oven, and two minutes on each side, in the hot oil... then one minute on each side.  It was slightly more done than I absolutely want, and not as crisp on the outside.  Oil, butter, lard, tallow... this time I used coconut oil.  Next time one of the others?  It's not bad.  Different, a bit, but pretty good.  I just want to try one of the others.

I did turn the heat up.  And then again.  I finally warmed.  But I am so tired from fighting the cold that I will need a nap.  Hopefully just that.  Who can tell.  I've fed the girls twice today, plus offered them some of my steak.  Sam liked it, Sassy didn't seem interested.  Just small bits, but they were offered some of my meal.  They keep begging though.  Well, plus a treat (a small handful of treats actually), and all the hard kibbles they can eat, plus plenty of fresh water.  And, yet, they are still so very hungry.  I don't quite understand.  And I won't feed them more.

Well, on to a nap.  I... I just can't stay awake longer.  I will turn the furnace down, at least while I nap.  Ugh.  Later, or much later.  Can't tell how this will work.
