Things are going.

I did get the watering done.  Four zones?  I skipped two possible zones, but figure out how to mostly overlap all by one zone.  All good.

As well, dishes.  The oven racks were the most difficult.  There was some baked on grime, that really had to be hit, soaked, hit again.  Several times.  But, it really did come clean, mostly.  Oh, still a spot of smoot, here and rarely there.  Must, mostly, it's looking quite fresh.

Which also means I can get back to cooking again.  I am out of charcoal, which I can't really fix this month.  And, with the racks being cleaned, and the oven before it, I really didn't have a way to easily, reliably, cook.  Neither do I know how to use the microwave, nor do I use it for anything with fats in or on it, save lightly melting butter, or coconut oil, and that with great care.

So... I haven't been cooking.  There is, of course, panfrying.  But what I have to cook doesn't cook well that way.  I should have the oven set to go tonight.  And, I will check on some of the thawed meat, see if it is still good.  I may have lost it, but I would otherwise have eaten it this week, so...  I hate that, either way, but, it happens.

I am rinsing the pans, pot, and racks for an hour.  I may try to get the last bits of black/grey off, when the hour is up.  But won't worry much about that other than giving it a light go.  I'll dry them and put them in the oven pretty much right away.  I dry the high carbon pans with paper towels, because they are greasy, hold it, no matter.  And will destroy my white kitchen towels, much as cast iron does.  But, the chrome stainless, including racks, will just be dried by cloth towel.  I prefer that.

Yes, I may make something to eat yet tonight.  I am hoping the whole chicken, thawed a few days ago, is still good.  I was hoping to split it, and grill it, but ran out of charcoal.  So...  Not sure what else I have, but... should get one to three meats cooked up, tonight, for the week.  I still need a few things from the store, butter, whole milk, salad makings (hopefully a package of it, if they still do that).  Maybe a few other things?  Ah, pork roasts, too.  But, trying to keep it low, so not looking for extras.

Though I will be trying to make homemade ranch dressing.  Since I have sort of given up on making mayo, I have finally found actual keto, low omega-6, mayo.  It's not my favorite, but I know what it is, and can do.  It requires mayo, cream, and sour cream, plus herbs and spices.  I'll have to look over the ingredient list again.  See if there is anything else.  Chives?  But, to be honest, chives... don't really add much flavor.  I suppose home grown, rightly grown, might.  But stores often don't really carry that.  Still, may see what they have.  But also look over that list.  I really would like to figure out how to make solid ranch dressing.  And, maybe, may my own blue cheese type dressing with the base, from there.

Hmm... on to some more gaming.  Then on to dishes, a shower, and maybe some cooking.  Have a good night.  Sleep well.  Or... play long and well.  *grins*  Later.
