Wasn't sure it was going to work out.

As I was pulling the meat, I was tasting it.  Dry, stringy, leftovers... and maybe bit overboiled?  Still, I was on it.  In with the water it had been cooked in, broth added, and the spices and herbs remained from in the water.  Salted to tasted.  Thickened, with some hope that would work, and back on the boil... or simmer really.

If nothing else, my house would smell better.  And it does.  Meh, probably wasn't going to turn out.  But... it... would be something.

Finally, cooked whole, ready as it ever would be.  So a bowl was poured.  I tried paper bowls.  Nope.  So I got one of my mugs.  That worked.  And a big spoon.  Adding sour cream and fresh hot spice.

And?  Delicious.  I was a bit surprised.  The meat somehow ended up creamy, the liquid was thicker.  Perhaps not a gravy type stew, but certainly not water.  The flavor is exactly as that my mother would make, if she was making it homemade.  She is a good cook.  She is the grandmother I think of, when I think of grandmothers who can cook.

Anyway.  That was worth the fuss, mess, and time.  I'll save that.  Strangely, with less than three or four pieces of meat per serving, so far (most goes to the bottom, of course), it is filling.  And... things smell of sage, thyme, and chicken.  Yes, I'll put that up for tonight.

Stuck in the game.  It wants me to do something, with something.  Usually there is an indicator.  I'm wondering if I didn't something ahead of it's time, so somehow shut myself out for doing something else.  Or if I just missed something.  These games, to game ending, are fragile, break.  I've been looking for answers.  None are to be found, so far.

I'd like to go back in.  But may have to... restart.  But I have enough saves I might be able to go back from before the break.  Though, if I incidentally, accidentally, broke the game before that... who knows.  I'll dig a bit more.  May have to start fresh.  But on a full, well fed, belly soon or late.

Trying to make it to later in the afternoon.  Not sure I will make it much further.  I'll see.  Later, or good night.
