It's something.  And, currently, about as much as I can do.  Other than keeping up on water, food, medicine, and Sassy... what she could use and needs.

I have been looking over advice, for playing.  Kept getting told to do things that... weren't possible.  Then I found out why, after... realizing something was just not right.  Ah... the advice required dlc content.  Wasn't sure I wanted to buy it, but... went looking.

Free.  Free?  Sure!  I can do free!  Plus, there was a ton of other dlc content that was offered for free.  I took it all.  That makes up for the earlier problems, if they have fixed those early problems?  I won't know until later in the game.  Meh.  It's something.  But, I have the downloads, which allows me to follow the advice.

Witcher 3, if I hadn't said.  I am sure I did, just not sure how long ago.

I reset the kefir, but put it all in the fridge.  I will have a glass or two a day until Saturday, and fresh milk arrives.  And, then, I will begin resetting those again.  Now, I had a bunch of extra grains.  I didn't want to put them in the jars of kefir, but I didn't want to toss them.  So, I drained out as much as possible, of the liquid, into the jar.  Then put the remainder into a plastic cup.

I added salt, black pepper and white pepper.  I thought about other spices or herbs, but decided to just go with this, to see if I like it.  It was still warm, so I didn't want to eat it right away, tucking it into the fridge.  But I did lick off the spoon.  Hmm, yes, it tastes very much like drier cottage cheese.  Adding just a touch of cream to it wouldn't be bad.  Now I know how to make kefir cheese, and I think I like it.  Would do well with a cup of fruit or just plain.  Cream would just add a bit of moisture back... say a tablespoon per cup?  Something, and not every time, just an option.

I really do enjoy tinkering with my food.  I suspect, to get creme fraiche to be more solid?  I will need to add gelatin, or such.  My guess is, people who are showing things on y.t., or even cooking shows from the long past, they are using things they aren't telling us about.  To try to make themselves superior?  Or... because their systems don't actually work?  I don't know.  But I do know that much of what you see is a lie.  If something doesn't work, figure it out.  The world isn't fair, honest, nor upright.  Just... understand that.

Even so, I am enjoying playing with my food.  Not everything works as they say.  I am figuring things out, on my own, piece by bit.  I'll figure out how to solidify creme fraiche soon.  Oh, and the kefir in cream is the better option.  It tastes a bit tangier, and is just a bit more solid than the buttermilk and cream.  Then again, I'm not sure the buttermilk was actually cultured.  More the traditional?  Not a mark against the dairy, they do what they do.  Asking doesn't... they don't always know exactly what they are... talking about?  That's all I'm saying.  I may attempt to track down actual cultured buttermilk.  I know where it would be.  The thing is, it will be pasteurized, maybe homogenized, and... who knows what else.  But... if it is cultured, you can keep it going, much like kefir or sourdough.  Take, feed, reset.  And, in a fridge, the process is slow enough to keep up on, if you use it every week to every other week.

Playing with food.  Oh, and this stuff would be AWESOME for food-fights!  :)

Well.  Blood sugar finally broke below 118.  It was 108.  And that just shortly after a glass of kefir and fatted coffee.  I'm wanting burger and beans, tonight, maybe on a bed of lettuce again.  I have been avoiding beans, because they are so carby.  May tonight, if I can... talk myself out of it.  We'll see.  

Snowing, outside, last time I looked.  It has been mildly raining today?  Which is turning to snow.  Pretty, but a bit spooky.  Staying warm enough in here.  I need a shower though.  And to dress more warmly.  But it is a pleasant day.

I think my subconscious has a sense of humor?  While considering the combat dreams, this showed up.  If last night, or yesterday.  I... can't stop thinking of it.  Anyway... here.  Enjoy.  Later.

This?  Today?  This I can do.  *grins*
