The steak was excellent.

A bit surprised.  Though I did look it over, up, and down.  Sometimes that meat is very questionable, selling because it is timing out.  I suppose it depends where they have put it.  In an uncooled counter or down in a cooled place.  Yes, I have seen them put them in counters near the entrance that don't seem cooled.

A coffee after was quite good.

I checked kefir.  The new set.  It is doing well, but will take a week, nearly two really, before I can begin using raw milk, so it is consumable.  Seems like a waste.  I just don't trust homogonized pasteurized milk.  Though, sometimes, near the end, when it starts looking good, I do eat some of it.  I get hungry for it, miss it, so... live with a bit more risk.

Though I am really looking forward to having it back in stock, so I can make mayonaise and a few other things.  Ranch and blue cheese dressing this time.  I might be able to try to make mascarpone cheese, without that.  Last time I went to do it, I had forgotten to heat it.  This time I will remember.  Part of why I bought lemons.

And I bought apples, and a few other fruit.  Grapes.  I'd like to make waldorf salad.  Using creme fraiche instead of mayo?  Maybe.  Hmm... not seeing too much that way.  A suggesting to thin the mayo with yogurt or creme fraiche though, is a recommendation.  Yea, I can see that.  So... I'll just eat the apples and grapes.  Though I could see about roasting the walnuts.  

Yes, I could do that.  Wasn't sure how much was involved, only noticed that roasting was recommended for the salad.  Heck, I could do this for the walnuts, and just put them up.  See if they last that long.  Or... how long they do last.  I learn big and small cullinary processes, bit by bit.  Though, by the time I learn really much at all, I will have forgotten what I first learned, or died.  :p

It's about bedtime, I think.  At 6:20, I'm a bit disappointed.  Up so late, or not late enough.  Depends on how you, or I, look at things.  I did get dishes set, three loads.  I'll check the laundry.  Probably dry, but the wool socks will feel cool, so seem wet.  I'll wait to give them a warming run tomorrow morning.  I got the rest of the clothes folded, and separated, and those going upstairs up there.  The towels are still back in the washroom.  I'll... mess with those in the morning, or what passes for morning.

With all the thoughts about how to do this and that, pipedream material?  I decided to look at how to deal with cat messes on the carpteting.  I have fallen behind.  I do have a steam vac, and a shop vac, plus a regular vacuum cleaner.  But I'm not sure how to deal with some things.

Of course, that means clearing bigger things off the carpet first.  Ugh.  Always... more, and more, and more, just to... do that one or five or hundred little things?  Bleh.  I'll see what I can start in on tomorrw.  Goodnight, or morning too, and day.
