Well?

Too much kefir, not enough milk, always a bit confused.  Tuesday, and I am nearly out of milk?  Only two gallons, but still.  So fast.  A gallon, at this pace, lasts about two and an half days?  So... three gallons should do.  But... I'm never sure.  I keep tweaking the process.

Currently, I am trying to filter the kefir a bit more often.  The trick is, with eighteen hours, it's quite a stretch.  But with twenty four hours, the kefir has completely separated, so isn't as good.  It's a trick to do things.  So?  I don't know.  Just doing my best, at the moment.  As is, about every other day I get better kefir, versus separated curds and whey.  But, doing it sooner, on some days, means using milk faster than that which makes it last seven and an half days.

I'll... sort it out.  Perhaps find a slightly cooler place to ferment it?  Out in the back porch?  It is fully enclosed, but I do close the door to it, at night (to keep Sassy away from food for a while).  So, it is cooler.  Maybe.  Then twenty four hours will do more accurately.  In the summer?  I'll... deal with that then.  Perhaps cure it in a cooler, downstairs?  No ice, just kept more moderate, in a more moderate place?  Dunno.

I haven't done any business sorting yet this morning.  I've got a terrible headache.  Well, enough of one that I don't want to deal with things.  As well, I think I'll try to find some things on the internet, before calling, if I do call.

I did have breakfast.  Eggs, bacon, and a baked potato.  Wanted to try the homemade creme fraiche.  It is much milder, on potatoes.  But is very much as regular sour cream when used in coffee.  Odd.  I will probably continue with it, now that I have found how to make it thicker, and more sour, than kefir or the other buttermilk did.  It's... not great?  But, it isn't as chemical, and has a higher fat content.  I'll stick with it, just making one container a month should do.

The eggs, of course, being home raised, are superior.  The bacon actually turned out better than I thought it might.  And potato was... just potato.  I buy a few a month.  This one was just on the edge of going soft, so I wanted to use it before it became mush.  A kefir with it, another just now.  If I get hungry in the next two hours, I will eat something.  If not, I'm done for the day.  Just water, and plain tea, the rest of the day.  I am heading back into intermittent fasting.  Both as a form of prayer in action, as well as a health thing.  Not sure it will actually help.  But it honestly can't hurt.

Good morning and day, or else.  Be well.  God speed.  And... DUCK!  Life comes as you rather fast.  Later.

Oh... a cream cheese recipe even I can do, even on a troubled day?  Maybe.  I could see adding lemon juice, keeping it plain, using a keto jam/preserve in it, or creating a keto crust.  But... for just... a quicky?  This will do.

And?  And mood.
