Had an appointment.

.

Missed it.  Things just don't always work.  Though, I do have a question?  When I have things I need to do?  Three, or four, things a month?  Why do two or three of them all end up stacking on the one time I could have free?  It just happens.  I missed something to keep a promise I had made, sort of generally.

Now, the appointment had been delayed, so that this other thing took priority.  I sort of got stuck keeping a minor promise.  Bleh.  I can hope the other program will work.  Life can be so frustrating.  Still, you do what you must.  

I was planning to do a bit of work.  I haven't gotten to it yet.  Went out to work on the hatch, but it started raining.  Then stopped almost immediately?  It... sure... seems like it will rain.  Dark, thunder rolling from time to time?  It did rain, then stopped.  Not much down but it could hit any moment.

I did put meat out the thaw.  And, if possible, will grill that tonight.  Though, most likely, it won't be ready until tomorrow.  Chicken, chops, and roast.  I think I'll salt the chops, and just cook those over time.  A few at a time.  I'd like to do that with the chicken, but it doesn't last well.  Not matter what is done to it.  There is cooking it, and storing it in fat.  But even that is umami to a level that is a rarified acquired taste.  The old ways are good, but can be slightly... severe.  Much like dried fish, anywhere.  Aged, salted, fish in Japan.  So, I just have to cook it, well enough.  Then try to heat the chicken as delicately as possible.  The oven is best, if I am patient enough.  Though, steaming it on top of veggies I am cooking works too.  The microwave, if I am too hungry.  Not the healthiest, I think.  Just look up what happens when you heat fats beyond a certain point.  It's very bad for you, whether that is lard, canola, or coconut oil... high heat makes it dangerous.  Microwaves target fats... and water.

Well... on to something?  Maybe.  Later.
