Those chops were about perfect.

.

At first, being so thin, I didn't think they were bone-in.  They were.  Actually not a bad thing, just a surprise.  I love when the bone and meat right on it crisp up.  Delicious.  So thin, though, that two minutes on each side was all it took.  Now, remember, I want my pork done.  These were perfect, or as perfect as I can grill a meat.

Kefir, as well.  I am... eating a bit more of that than I probably should.  Plus a potato.  Nothing fancy, but it works well.  Sardines, this afternoon.  With crackers.  I think I'll have the lemon sardines, in olive oil.  Wild caught, but most sardines are.  If you can handle them, sardines are some exceptionally nutritious foods.  Just be careful who packages, where they come from, and such.  If it's from China, NorK, or even Japan at this point, I'd steer clear.  It's the radiation near Japan, but it's the governments involved with the others, and even more nations.  

Plus, if you ever learn to like the fish, you will generally not have to worry about anyone stealing those.  Thieves generally have as good of taste as morals.  If it isn't in a soda can, or chip bag, they don't want it.  Then again, they don't seem to be alone in these times.  If... that's... probably at least part of the problem?

Chores?  Right.  Yes.  I'll get on those.  It's not too late.  Might even be able to reset the waterers before it is dark again?  Maybe, but it... gets dark early, and with the fog and overcast, so very fast.  No lingering light in the evening.  It's like a shade got pulled, and that is that.  I just looked it up.  Sunset, tonight, is a bit after 17:30.  I don't know.  I could try... set an alarm for 16:00?  On my phone?  I'll... see if that will work.

After chores, and some rest, I would like to get a shower in.  And, sometime, perhaps check the trash and recycling, see if they went out.  Or... if they at least got the trash.  The thing is, they might still pick it up.  I don't think I have ever seen them pass by later than, say, 13:30?  Though even that isn't a guarantee.  Just, usually, they are done by early afternoon.  Still don't know if it is a recycling day...  A quick check, and... probably.  Unless folk up and down the street also made a mistake.  But, I thought most of them had at least the trash out before I got mine out.  Couldn't see whether they had recycling out already, too, though.  Still, most likely a good hit.

Still waiting on kefir.  And, other than sardines, crackers, and a fatted coffee, I am probably finished with food for the day.  Probably.  I get so hungry!  The cold just... and it's not just me.  Sam and Sassy both get pretty piggy when the weather closes in.  So... the plan is that this is that.  But... I just... can't promise that.  If I have something else, I will try to keep it small.  Say... two eggs, three pieces of bacon (it is, at least, thin), and maybe one of those... no... with crackers along with sardines, no bread, even low carb.  I can only 'afford' one carb thing a day, and then try to make it every other day at most.  Skipping three or four days if I can trick myself to forget.

Yes, on to chores.  A rest.  A shower.  Setting up some dishes.  Checking kefir... keep hoping it will rip a bit.  Then maybe a load of laundry, and some of the washed laundry on upstairs.  I would... like to start sorting and storing laundry more rightly again.  Bit by bit, will try to retake the small gains I have made in my world.  I wish I could find a woman.  Not to do it all, just to... help.  Yes, she would end up doing a lot of it.  And she would be rewarded.  But, too, I might end up doing more, and more the things I like to do, but at her request.  Plus... women... are good to have around for... a... number of reasons.  Innit?  ;p  And they really aren't that difficult to capture.  Give em' a rope, tell them to tie a knot, and... you got it!  Just... saying.  Not difficult at all.  Later.
