Chicken drumsticks and a chuck roast, finished, at their individual paces.

For the chicken, I sprinkled ground 90k cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.  Oh my word.  Chicken isn't... fantastic.  It is... meat.  But, even with the skin, it's rather tight.  Not a lot of flavor there.  I can, sometimes, like it just grilled.  But just a dash of heat for flavor, and it's grand.  I didn't use the really hot stuff.  This stuff doesn't even tickle my lips.  But, it puts a taste of heat on my tongue, through to the back of my throat, but not to my stomach.  It was very good.

Then I had a bit of the beef roast.  End cuts, which are more done.  I really should eat center cuts, when it is fresh, hot, and ready.  I think, from now on, I will.  The slightly overdone ends, while fresh off the heat, is... okay.  But the more rare parts would be the best.  From now on, that is what I will do.  For beef, not for pork.  Pork is fine, even if slightly overdone.  But is spooky to have underdone.

Very good.  It is staying about 86 out there.  Strange, I really would think that it would warm more through the day, hitting that temp at around noon.  But, no...  And it is still August, but toward the end.  To be honest, I am wondering if this is warmer than usual?  I haven't looked at averages, but they aren't putting out the real numbers these days, so not sure that would matter.  They may even have changed historic numbers.  Finding an older book, with numbers that are more honest, might be the way.  But... try to find that book.  Plus, with everything on amazon these days, even old books, in that format, or even reprints, have probably been altered.

Not getting to much.  Tired.  Groggy.  Maybe yet, who knows.  A bit of a break, as I digest dinner.  Then, perhaps, hopefully, to some work.  Later.
