Wasn't seen room to do more. I hadn't become exhausted. I just felt like I had finished, gotten hung where I was. Still, I hoped to put the things back together on the freezertop.
I did that. Added a hotplate while at it. I have it around for odds and ends, just never did put it up, to use. I had to clean it off first, but now I have a nice little burner, off to the side. Electric. Glass flattop type. It's... good to have something extra, I think. For... reasons.
Yes, I pulled meats first. Two items are thawing, for tomorrow. Burger and lamb chops, I think. So... that part is done.
While setting everything up, I got the ice cube machine filled and going, refilled the jug, ran the r.o. to get the carafe filled, then refilled the reservoir. I cleared kefir, earlier. Pulling enough grains for the next batches, and added a third quart jar into the fermenting roundup, for now. When I get to two half gallon jugs in the fridge, full, I'll pull one of the quarts and clean it out. This is just to get volumes up, faster. Then I can slow the process.
The kefir grain supplements are working very well. It matured the kefir in two days, starting from shipped grains (which are drowsy), and whole raw milk, which fights the grains to a degree. Not only did it create enough grains for easily refilling the two jars, there was easily enough for an extra jar. The last time I tried this, it took a week, using store-bought (sterilized) milk. So... yeah. Now, I did add an extra dose to the jars, as they were fermenting. Not needed. Just one per fermenting period, I think, will be quite enough. And, probably, only when starting from frozen or ordered grains, if that ever needs to happen again.
I will be setting aside some of the bounty of grains, to the freezer. Just in case I lag, and things go to bad snot. It happens. Really, to keep up, on the room temp fermenting, you need to at least check it daily. Burp it, let fresh air in. You can use a breather, but that only gives you a day or two, at most, before having to work with it. The jugs in the fridge can last, say, a month? It'll be tight, but I think so. Beyond that, it's... garbage. Things, I think, have been lost that can't be replaced. It just won't produce full spectrum.
As to frozen grains? Those will be viable for six months to a year. Sometime in there, they too will lose vitality, various parts of their special complex biome will begin diminishing. Though, probably, you could get something after a few years. It just won't be anything like the full force fresh stuff. Well, that's... what I am suggesting. Oh, I did add one dose of the stuff to the refrigerated kefir. I want it to burn through as much lactose as absolutely possible. Just one, per jug. Until it is used, and more fresh is added.
Another load of laundry was put together and set to run. The dishes from the cupboard, most of them. As well, for dinner, I had beans and the one leftover brat. I used a real plate for the first time in... I... don't even know. One I had washed yesterday, in there, with the mostly otherwise jars.
As well, I got laundry together, and going. A load of shirts. I need to find more shirts. The dryer is open. Beginning to... get things going. I'd like to start at least one more load of laundry yet tonight. Get them both dried. And hanging is easy, if I have a place and the hangers... which I do.
A massive bag of trash was gathered, while working here and there, doing this and that, and sorting while I was at it. Two loads of recycling were arranged. Three bags to go, before long. It started snowing out there. So far, just... an inch? An inch that has stuck, so maybe two. It is down to 25, which isn't bad at all.
Some of the ice has already been stowed in the freezer containers. Some used with a late fatted coffee. Very nice. I'll have to reset that, after the last of the cubes are made. I'd like to fill both ice bins. Then... use it, fairly often. If I don't use enough, I'll back it off to one bin.
I almost feel like I'm alive again. What a grace this day has been. I would like to hit the last of the dishes, that must be done by hand. If so, maybe a shower. Oh, but I'll trim my whiskers first. Something else to eat? Maybe a few eggs. I only have eight of the two dozen I boiled left. But I have a fresh two dozen. Was hoping to fry some of those, but... may boil those this weekend, beg for more when possible, and... see where that gets me.
Uhrm, though, I really may be at the end of my run. Maybe? I don't know. If I can keep at it, I will. Lord knows, I love to push things. Right to Death's door, and beyond if you believe some fools. *rictus grin* I am hoping for more, just not certain that is possible. Hmm, oh, and a bit of gaming, sooner or later... or not.
Later. Or good night.
