A breast it was, with some of the mushrooms and veggies, in a foil
packet. Heated rightly, with butter, very good. Strangely I'm not
as stuffed as I was after the first meal. All good.
I want to trim the easy pieces, but also pick the last of the meat off the
bones, to make a heavier, thicker, stew. It's been a while since I have
had one. If I can get to it.
More gaming. More water. Waterpills in. I keep missing, so I
keep trying to make up. At least, if weight is up, I do know why.
then again, weight isn't the issue. And... blood sugar will... do what
it does, even when I eat correctly. At this point, that is pretty
good. Even a minor bump won't upset me, if it is short term.
Dreams of dreams? Yes. I remembered dreams from when I was a
child. Good and bad ones. I have lived lifetimes in dreams,
somehow. They say you can't, that time is the same. I'm telling
you they are wrong.
Falling, sometimes into a vortex. Navajo, Dine, explains that.
Well, at... least some aspects. Learning to fly? That... was
because dreaming of falling was so terrible.
I dreamed novel length dreams, not always remembering every last detail.
But, main characters, side characters, good guys, and gals, and bad.
Politics, spies, war, peace, and the waging of peace leading to war.
Even as a child I saw these things. I knew the world was
dangerous. Friends, allies, are rarely what they seem. Neither are
enemies. Though... they are, they just aren't, in both directions.
I literally have been falling into daydreams, some of them like reruns from
dreams at various stages in my life. I... remember some of them, even
now. Some will come back to me, if something reminds me.
Strangely, while I have only been with women, girls when I was a boy mostly, I
mean... as a boy, I... have been with women... Well, I mean, I never
dreamed of sex with anyone, even though I was doing it from before five
on. It wasn't until five years ago? Oh, I'd dream of women, but
not sexually? Just... as girlfriends, wife types, and such. The
roles, just not that aspect. Then they became intense. Still can
be, if still rather rare.
I don't avoid those dreams, if too I don't seek them, or approve. I can
alter my dreams, but usually choose not to. I want to see what the point
is. Often there is one. It means something, usually. If
that... meaning doesn't always translate to reality, the waking world thinking
of life. Still, it's interesting to see what patterns express
themselves. Sometimes the thinking of a child, a man, a
woman.
Even if it hurts my feelings, I like to see where it goes on it's own.
Only if it really annoys me will I shut a dream down. And, there are
some I can't close.
Some dreams are intense, strange, prophetic perhaps. I've seen hell,
there to look in on things, for God. Seen the end, of the world.
Who ever knows.
And the... other, other, ones. Dreaming of being the wolf, bear, and eagle. Actual creatures, I would guess. And more. Hmm... Such things.
Well, back to gaming. Maybe another fatted coffee. I'll feed Sassy
before going to bed, again. I offered her chicken, no go. So I did
feed her some of her food, while I ate. Made her happy. Later, or
more likely good night.
My problem boiling down a carcass for soup I ALWAYS leave the bones in too long (offputting bone flavor) and end up turning the cartilage into yuk jello soup. Timing and heat. Fresh ingredients I can do, Haven't come close with my own chicken broth.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
I can make excellent bone broth... chicken or beef. Don't generally do pork, though will use trotters to thicken either of the other.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, I don't think I have ever messed up my broth. Then again, I don't usually use the carcass, I used thighs, legs (when I can find them, literally the feet), and necks if I can get those. As well, adding trotters, pigs feet.
Oh, I don't add veggies, either. Or even much salt. Just enough salt that I can taste it, not enough for it to be satisfying. I salt, and elsewise spice/herb, as I cook with it.
Maybe you are being too picky? Or... using the wrong bones. What I will do with the carcass is a quick boil, to help get the meat off. I don't think it really works for brothing, mostly. That's... just my opinions.
Hmm, i need more fresh mushrooms, though if I get those, I might as well get fresh celery, onion, perhaps garlic (if I can find Cali garlic), and possibly even carrots (baby).
I do love homemade chicken soup though. That stuff is to die for, especially as the world cools. Thanks, I always need some luck with cooking. It usually turns out, but at various levels of goodness. I love it when it... strikes some chord, deep inside, and I know it's right. What will be served in heaven.
