Now, either you love, or hate, kefir. Some may tolerate it, and learn to... accept it, for nutritional reasons? I would like to say I couldn't do that. But, cabbage and a dozen dozen other foods would call me a liar. Still, with this, I am not sure it is possible? Anyway, I... do love my kefir. More so since I brew it myself. From grains I trust, using raw milk, on my counter.
My first half gallon is ready. It is not the best, in spite of being double fermented. Not that it is bad, just that it isn't all that strong yet. It will take a bit to get to the strength I like. But it will get there. Still, for now, it will happily do. I am having a cup of the lovely stuff right this morning. It was finished last night, to before bed I put it in to chill. I can't quite wrap my bean around warm kefir. Your mileage may vary. Raw, today. Though I can see adding egg whites, protein powder, and frozen berries, into a smoothie. I have chocolate and unflavored powders arriving. They were on a very good sale, and all other things checked. Tasty? Probably not. Some of that will be up to me, as with egg whites.
Protein is the new name of the game. Odd, how, when I finally sort out how much fat, for a traditional keto diet... and begin hitting the target fairly well? I realize I need to change course. Still, I think I'll get onto the new system before long. My one concern, despite what some suggest, is protein based blood sugar spikes. I'll... sort that out in time. Some of it will have to do with how fast the protein uptake is, much like with sugars. Everything has some sort of sugar or starch, or is a protein which can be used AS such. My guess is, the more complex, the more difficult to pull the proteins in order to create glucose... insulin. Can't be sure, and will have to try various protein sources.
Well, I made a mess of things again, with blood sugar. It... does get messy, or can, as I restart. Especially if I get impatient. Too much fast acting insulin yesterday. But the readings were over 200, so I thought 20 cc's would be fine. Twice. But, it seems, while blood sugars will go high, they are till prone to being brought down quickly. Especially with slow acting now being added again. I crashed a few hours after going to bed. I had to gobble two and a half packs of glucose tabs, and some candy. Ugh.
Today? I want to get the jars cleaned. The hydrant ate yesterday. Hopefully to some use. But, if nothing else, I did learn a few things. If it is flowing, or not actually, on a warmer day if it is, I'd like to do a bit more tinkering with it. I think the plunger is set too deep. Over time, that will wear it too quickly. It can be replaced, but... that... is a whole other and extra animal.
Jars, trash and recycling set up, maybe put out, and something cooked, or set to thaw to be cooked. Taco salad should work well, after this chia breakfast and kefir side. Oh, and cat litter. Probably a complete refresh. I need to see about local cat food and litter prices. It's a lot more work, but I think I am being ganked about that online. Or... cat food has become nigh on unaffordable? Same with litter. Online just doubled prices, which were already a bit higher than local. But delivery made the premium... premium. But... not double premium.
A shower, today. Gotta be. Needed. Wanted. Even the cats let me know it's time. Women! If a critter that licks it's own butt turns up it's nose at you... yea... :p That, and maybe milk. Or sometime this week. A couple of jugs, to keep the kefir going. But... I really have to get the other jars clean and ready. That and milk are both bottlenecks currently. So, I gotta do it.
Later.
