Breakfast!

.

.

Well, a bit ago.  From the griddle.  The potatoes took a very long time, but I did get them done correctly.  I had meant to buy french fries and hashed potatoes, but got fries and tator tots instead.  Either wasn't thinking clearly, simply grabbed the wrong bag, or changed my mind later?  I... don't remember.  Who does?

Still, I got to it.  As well, I fried two of the sausage patties.  Not big, and only two, which is... plenty.  Along with those, I had three eggs.  It wasn't all that much food.  But I am absolutely stuffed.  Everything was done just right, and warm... at the start.  Eating in the front room, it cooled off a bit too quickly.  But I have turned the furnace down to 68.

With it warming outside, 47 last I checked, I don't need as much heat.  On days that are warmer, like today, I will turn the furnace down.  Which will make some rooms even cooler.  At least until the sun begins turning this front room into a heatbox again.  Still, that will do.  I will just have to begin retreating back into other parts of the house, and putting ac up.  Only one, as it is turning out.  Though both in means I can do the cooling on the cooler side of the house.  It... does make a difference in the upstairs open room.

The patties were finished first, and set off.  But I just put them back on while frying the eggs over easy.  I didn't do a perfect job with the eggs, but didn't break the yokes, and they were cleanly done without being overly done.  It's just that they could have been cleaner.  I ripped some of the whites.

After finishing the food, I put it on a paper plate, inside a smaller shipping box left over.  Closing that up as a minor warming box.  Did well.  Then I cleaned the surface and lightly oiled it... using several paper towels to spread the oil and remove excess.  I plan on buying cloth towels, instead of going through rolls of paper towels.  Especially if I am going to eat off the thing more like on a daily basis.

To that end, I looked up how to clean greasy towels.  There... is a way.  I think I could do this.  Maybe even outside.  I need to look around for the standing burner... or double burner.  I want to get that going, as well.  For canning, and other things.  It would be a good side burner for my grill?  Not sure it is needed, as the grill might be able to get warm enough to heat pots and pans.  I will have to experiment with that to know.

Stuffed.  Three eggs, a handful of fries, and two small pork patties, and I feel like I ate a whole Easter meal on my own!  Well, I did have kefir as well.

I did reset kefir this morning.  I have made the intended additions to the guacamole.  Now I need to rest a bit, let the food digest.  Then either start the dishes, or get a shower.  I am hoping to hit all of the dishes, through to finishing them.  Get a shower.  And clean up the kitchen back to where it was until my cooking and other food work splurge left a mark on the place.  As well, with recycling and trash out, I'll get the barrels to the curb tonight.

Here is to hoping.  I didn't make it to church.  But I can get to else.  I... was a bit afraid of going to mass, with that many people today anyway.  Not sure I am quite ready for that.  But, if I could have awaken, and I did give it a real try, I would have gone in anyway.  Later.
