Got it!

The last soup I made, a few days ago?  End up terrible!  I added way too much powdered anchovy.  Wow (wouch?).  Oh, it was so potent I couldn't handle smelling the stuff.  I almost threw the powder out.  I... just... wanted to give it another chance.  Today was that chance.

Last time I added, say, almost a teaspoon, 2/3rds, 3/4ers of a teaspoon I'd say.  I could smell how potent it was, and fishy.  Wouch.  This time?  Somewhere between an eighth and a sixteenth of a teaspoon.  Everything else was the same.  And?

Still, a few bites were a bit... tight.  But, for the most part, I did like the add.  Just... gotta be careful.  If you have had potent miso soup, you understand.  If you have tried milder miso, beside more potent miso soup?  This was mild.  But, even with that tiny amount, it was rather miso like.

Yes, I do want to work on miso, and fishhead stew, and such.  Sometimes with more, sometimes with less, fishy flavor.  This is a start.

Oh, but that stew is delicious, if done correctly.  If it is an acquired taste for me, for you it is... beyond.  I have worked at eating that which I didn't, initially, like.  I have a list of a dozen to score of foods I now eat, can eat, that I used to not be able to eat.  Some have become beloved... cabbage, gorgonzola (and other blue cheeses), camembert (still working on espoisses and limburger), and some raclette cheeses.  Oh, and many other foods.  Sardines, without sauces or olive oil, if I always like sardines to some extent.  Even a few soft foods, which were terrible, but the idea...  Hippy food, like chia seed... for said reason rather than flavor issues?  Or such.

Believe it or not, I'm not a hippy.  Though, I am starting to like some of their foods.  Can never trust them.  I will always see them as Charlie Mansonites.  Never trust a socialist, communist, "green", or such.  They'll cut you, gut you, steal from you.  Can't trust them.  They church is the church of envy.  Their holiness is getting what they want, when they want it, without paying a price.  Watch them closely.

Anyway... that was excellent soup.  I have plenty for later.  When I start getting cold, or just before bedtime, I'll warm it up, grab a few bowls, the put the rest of it up for the day.  Life is good, even if I do put out challenges to myself.  More because I challenge myself?  I think the latter is more true.

Any my soup is keto, or keto enough, not to disturb my blood sugar.  All good.

Be well.  Later.
