Pretty mushy.

Perhaps overdone?  The roast.  Not... to my taste.  Though, I think it's either this, done like this, and with noodles or rice.  Or, it's much less done, and eaten like a... chewier steak.  There really isn't much choice.  I think trying to split the difference would be worse.  No, from now on, I will cook these more like steak.  Not quite to the rare stages, more like the medium rare to medium.  They need just a little longer time to render some of the harder fats, and soften some of that stringier meat.

It's... just... not to my taste.  With beef and noodles, or in gravy over mashed potatoes?  Yeah, heck yeah.  If you don't mind dying a bit quicker, or a lot quicker.  My mother made gold with this stuff.  Either this, or chicken.  Wasn't a pork girl, mostly.  If, back then, pork had a pretty strong, almost uniquely gamey, taste.  I liked it, but just once on a rare occasion back then.  Now, it is much milder, usually.  Like lamb, most of it being, or tasting like, mutton.  Just too strong.  But, pork can work, as with beef, cooked long, slow, shredded, put in gravy, and put over a heavy carb... rice, noodles, potatoes, or such.

But this?  Straight up?  No way.  At least I gave it a shot.  It really did look good.  But it won't work, not for me.  At least I got a bite.  And... it was... edible.  Just not preferred, or in any volume.  I'll stow it, see if it tastes any better in time.  Maybe try it with some canned tomato over a bit of keto rice or pasta.

I really have gotten picky?  Or, is eating just meat really that difficult?  Doing my best, but it's a booger of a task.

I did find a method of making lots of burger patties quickly.  Cookie cutters.  Still have to weigh them each out.  But, then, put them in the cutters, from the top, press them without compressing them, then stacking them with parchment dividers.  Still, have to cut the parchment... though a papercutter I have might make that easier.  And, have to figure out how to store them.  I wonder if they still sell bread wrappers?  They used to, and a local bread store.  If... that was back when I was a kid.  But those were cheap, and would hold burgers well.

Still, how many burgers can you make, and freeze, at once, in a timely fashion?  Ugh.  Always a trick, this life we lead.  But, real burger is so much better than what they plants are kicking out.  Not even sure it is meat, or at least not all beef.  One of them, I am all but sure, has pork... whether meat or fat of the hot, I'm not certain.  But there is pork in one of them.  And not the best type, nor is it an positive addition to the food.

Well.  It's 5:33, or was when I started.  I'm going to crash.  I wanted to stay up, like I did yesterday.  But it was brutal then, only did it to do the right thing.  Can't do it today, especially for no good reason.  Good morning and good night.
