I keep thinking about custard.

Not for daily consumption.  But, from time to time, just... a different, softer, meal.

My mother used to make it for my father, fosters.  When he would get ill, or down, this was the thing.  I got a sample of it a few rare times.  Something about it.  Maybe it was because it was a special, or rare thing?  Perhaps because it was reserved almost exclusively for my father?  All I know, is... I would like it.

Now, I would have to make it keto.  But that isn't a great difficulty.  I have several keto sugar replacements, liquids, powders, grains.  If I have found that a mix works best.  So, I went looking for a recipe.  And found one that looks just right.  For me?  I could go with half the ingredients and be just fine.

Yes.  Today though?  I could.  I am having to add milk back into the dairy order anyway.  And I have some left, if it's storebought.  Not the best, for long term use, but it would do in a pinch.  Not sure if it was homogenized, though, like I said, even if it was, it would be okay for a short thing.  The thing is, I'm not sure I can do it.

I did cook pork chops, eggs, and toasted some bread in the oven.  Well, and had a potato.  It ended up being a rather big meal.  But...  So, another part of the problem is that I am not quite ready to eat again.  I want to sleep.  Overate.  Not for the day, but for a single meal.  Strange.  My apatite is huge, but my actual physical capacity is what I would have at one time called tiny.  There is a time I could have eaten this, and then doubled it.  And still had a meal or two more through the day... if not that large.  I'll be lucky to be able to eat another meal.  Then again, custard can be enjoyed warm or cool.  Truly a delight.  Or... as I remember it.

 I would like to make a, say, crushed, buttered, spiced almond or walnut crust under it.  But... maybe not the first go.  Perhaps when I get some practice.  I want to practice the crust, for cheese cakes, too.  Which are also on my hit list.  Just... thinking of food and sharing some ideas.

Oh, if I can stay awake a while longer, and if the roast and chicken thaws, or is thawed, I may cook those.  Though for tomorrow.  There is no way I could eat more protein today.  Those chops were rather thin, too.  I don't quite get it.  But... all good.  I really didn't... four thin smaller chops, four eggs, and a potato?  By my stomach and sides, the way they feel, I'd have thought I had a two pound chuck roast, two potatoes, salad, and two veggies.  I don't think the chops weighed a pound total, and were rather bony to top it.  And the eggs, while absolutely delightful, are on the smaller side.  All good, though.  I prefer being a cheap date, foodwise.  And drinkwise, were I to drink.  :p

Well... on to a bit of gaming.  So tired though.  Having what feels like a heavy meal slogs me down, but other things add to it.  Later.  Or goodnight.
