Much better than anticipated?

Though, I had two packs of brats.  One beef, one pork and jalapeno.  I went with the latter.  As well, I pulled the mustard and used that.  Very good.  Oh, yes, just the "cheap, yellow, kids' stuff" mustard.  But, it has no sugar, and the only thing dubious was "natural flavors".  Which... is probably anything but natural.  Still, for now, it was good enough.  And, really?  It was rather tasty.

I baked the brats for an half hour, starting from a cold oven.  Then added the beans and some water for another twenty, at 385 (at sea level I would have done that at about 350).  It worked, very well.  Some of the top beans became a bit dry, but the vast majority were fine.  As well, once stirred into the bean gravy, it all went back to moist.

I had four of the eight brats, and several servings of beans, with mustard mixed in.  Wonderful?  Really, it was pretty good.  Absolutely gobstopped.  I thought the meal might be okay.  But, no, it was truly delicious.  Strangely delicious.  Oh, and the beans went out this past August.  But... tasted just fine to me.  I did sniff, checked the cans for bulges, but... worked for me!

I so needed some food.  I have been so hungry.  I haven't been eating, for quite some time.  Not well.  This will keep me afloat for a while.  I'll probably have the rest through tomorrow, though... not all at once even if half remains.  I only ate what I did out of... some... hunger desperation.  I am quite stuffed.  Happily, though.  Blood sugar spike, on the way.  Beans do that.  But... it, this rare time, was worth it.  Just to be, and feel, fed.  To enjoy a meal.  Ugh.

Now to rest a bit.  Digest that, as much as possible.  Then take a shower.  See what I can do after.  I'd do some gaming, but that much food would make gaming brutal.  It slows reflexes, and thinking.  It disables something deep in me.  All I have left in the game will require... more than I can seemingly create nominally, already.  So... no gaming, for a while.  Maybe not tonight.

Wonderful.  That was pretty good.  Now to get sauerkraut, have it on hand, for the beef brats.  Though... not for a week or two.  It's great to have mustard I don't have to make, on hand.  That is good enough.  Works with sauerkraut as well.  The Germans had some good things, even if often mostly bland.  Other than horseradish... well... and some of their women.  *sideways glance*

Just... had to share my little pleasure.  Later.
