Slow.

.
.
Being cool, 62 last I checked if an hour or two ago, isn't helping.  Lack of good sleep last night is piling on to that.  And, work this week has taken it's toll.  A good week, mind you.  And I hope not to be done.  I hope to work more, even today.  Speaking of which, I think I'll get a shower before too long, then cycle laundry through, as well as setting up dishes.

I'll be eating in about an hour.  I'll try to buns recipe I spoke of... including the video below.  And, set up a right keto flour, to compare the two.  I'll see if that works, or if both works.  I'll be cooking it on the grill?  No, I'll bake it?  I don't know.  I'll see what I have that would work for cooking it, keeping it's form.  I wonder if I have dough cutter rings, a set of them maybe?  That would work on the grill, or in the oven with a cookie tray and parchment paper.  Oh, after experimenting with the carbon steel pan, cooking an egg with parchment paper, I suspect that might work on the griddle.  Though, I think I can use enough fat that it wouldn't be necessary.

I suppose I will feed Sassy now.  She is probably hungry again.  I pushed it a bit late.  Both the first and this time.  I'll get her fed shortly, and check her litter while at it.  I changed her water yesterday, so it's good.

Yes, a smash burger, smush?  Smash.  I'll go with smash.  It sounds cleaner, more direct, and... right.  I have fresh onions.  I won't cook those.  Oh, and tomatoes!  Nice.  Yes, I should be able to have a reasonable burger.  And, creme fraiche.  Might not be perfectly American, but I can do some French from time to time.  Happily, in fact.  I do need to make mayo, though.  The only probablem with mayo, homemade, is it takes a while to set up.  Then again, that... perhaps I can get that done quickly, and put it in the freezer to set up while time ticks by until I begin cooking?  Sure, maybe.

Oh, yes.  I had a dream last night.  An atheist friend of mine, no not you, was getting ready to die.  But he didn't want to go to hell.  He had found out about a guru, in India, who had found a relic which could salvage souls.  He knew of Catholicism, and believed it, as a form of salvation, but pride kept him from it.  So, he... spoke with me.

Not sure why he spoke with me, he knew what my answers were.  He would have to join the church, seek forgiveness of all sins... explore to understand those first if necessary, become baptised (if necessary), and take his first communion.  There might be other things, such as taking a class to learn the church's teachings.  But, give or take, this is the way.

Instead, he went to this guru.  He was so... sure.  But, when I was introduced to the guru, and spoke with him a bit, I understood something my friend didn't know.  Former friend?  Can never tell with such.  For my friend to find slavation through this relic?  He... would have to seek forgiveness of his sins in order to cleanse his karma.  He would have to forgo his own beliefs, doubts, distrust, and hatred of other people and of systems of faith.  He would... in essence, have to do what I would have advised, but through the Hindu religion.

The guru was not even considering offering salvation for my "friend".  For the very reason I couldn't answer his question to his liking.  His karma was... black?  It was something, and the shaman could see it.  He couldn't offer him salvation, for this is no salvation for such.  I... had to decide whether to let my friend know, what I understood at a glance, or to... let him keep with the hope of salvation without change.  A dead man, even if still breathing, sometimes cannot be helped.  Both I and the shaman looked eye to eye, with a deep sadness for this man.  He... isn't dying, we both thought him dead already.

I never did make up my mind.  But I am hoping I did tell him, and had the shaman confirm my words.  He couldn't be saved, even if that relic might somehow have had the power, because he was the problem.

When speaking with that one, I am sure I am not always speaking with the one in front of me.  I... can't see all, but I can see some.  The name(s) elude me.  But the nature does not.  I cannot cast out what is allowed, willfully.  So be it.

Well, on to mayonnaise.  And making the other flour, while looking for a way to shape the buns.  Oh, and the recipe vid... here...
