Out and to it.

.

.

A package returned.  Nice.  Was worried that wouldn't get back in time.  Still not sure.  But... I think so.  They took it, in any case.

Then to dinner.  Pizza.  I know.  But I did have tea with it, not soda or beer.  If... I'm having some beer now.  Oh well.  But, just a tall boy.  Very good.  Very bad.  I did have a salad with it.  It's been so long!  I do miss salads.

Then to groceries.  Yes, I did order the chuck, as fat as they could.  Haven't seen one yet, but one is out and will be cooked tomorrow.  Most of the rest of what I got was meat too.  Well, and butter and cultured cream.  No, I didn't take a list.  Found some steaks on sale, plus on clearance.  Always a risk, but... so rarely do I have them.  I... got some.

As well, I obtained fish, and a fishhead.  That's a first for me.  But I would like to make my own fish soup, with one of the packages of fish and the fishhead.  A chowder.  I'll get a potato replacement, simmer the fish head, add cream, perhaps a few other veggies... should work out well enough.  Not this week.  Perhaps when I go back to the store in the middle of the month?  Maybe.  I didn't get burger, it was all a bit high for my wallet.

Oh, but I did get more organ meat.  A few more packages of gizzards, a few packages of beef kidney, and a few packages of chicken liver.  Sort of an exotic mix, or oldschool.  If you can learn to eat kidney, the rest is a picnic.  Though the fish head stew might be a little tight.  We'll see.  A bit of a learning curve there, but I... like learning curves.

Oh, mom called.  Bad news.  They are closing her nursing home.  She is going to try to get in to a nearby place.  Not sure if it's possible.  I made it clear, if all else fails, she always has here.  It's a mess, but...  She said it wouldn't be for long.  All I ask for... is one room.  Oh, and speakers for while she watches t.v.  I hate that thing.  But want her to enjoy.  I use them for my games and computer, so I won't bother her.

I doubt if she would come all this way.  Beside being an Iowa girl, I... just don't think so.  But, she is welcome.  I would... make room for her.  And... lose my house in the meanwhile.  :p  That's how women do.  Even the barbaric part of my genes knew to... well... women owned the house.  Just... they understood this.  And, in a divorce, the house was theirs.  The more things change?  Right.  Beaver badgers?  Or... the other way around.  Crazy.  Mean.

Funny though, women complain when we leave them alive, we complain if they don't kill us?  Something... like that.  I've... enjoyed my part, for my part.  Ah...

Opposites certainly attract.

I even have the food put up.  Nice.  Oh... while I did look at the coconut milk, I didn't like the ingredients.  However, I found a milk that may work, in smaller amounts... goat.  It's pricey.  But... I could use that in things.  I wouldn't even mind a cup to sip, once a week.  Though, really, I'll just try to make hot cocoa with that, cream, cocoa powder, a pairing of keto sweeteners, perhaps a touch of vanilla?  Maybe some water to thin it if that is too thick.  I'll... get something.  Can't find the nutmeg or I'd try that.  Not sure if I like it or not, to be honest.

Well... on to a bit of gaming, then on to bed.  I'll need to cool down a bit.  It's only six, last I looked?  Zero?  It's... cool.  Pizza warmed me up.  Carbs will do that.  It's 61 in this front room, and I am sweating.  Check.  Good afternoon, evening, and goodnight.
