Sleep cycles are way off.

I thought I was going to get to bed early... earlier... last night.  Nope.  I don't think I crawled in until... nearing sunup?  Damned vampirism!  I did get dishes started.  Most of the last?  Most?  I... am really getting down.  Things I thought I might throw out.  But stainless cookie sheets and those sorts of items are so expensive.  I just... have to try to clean them.  Stored, unclean, for quite a while.

Just soaked, last night.  Two trays of dishes.  Big, bus boy cart, type trays.  Stacked, the only way they fit even in the tub.  I'll drain them shortly, then hit them with one more soak.

I got to the eggs recently.  boiled, and peeled.  Been eating on them a bit.  This time I did everything just right.  The time stored, the cooking time, the cooling time.  Peeling was a breeze.  I did slightly overcook them, but only for my tastes, preferences.  They are perfectly hard boiled.  Which... works.  Half the reason I want them a bit less hard boiled is as much because I like that, as because I really dislike too overcooked boiled eggs.  These are the perfect hard boiled, if you like them absolutely solid but not overdone.

New eggs today.  So, I can fry some, from time to time, and have boiled occasionally.  Milk and cream is in.  Will be setting up kefir shortly.  Sort of excited about that.  Will take a couple of weeks to get that stuff into proper trim.  But, being raw, I can consume the weaker versions until the solid stuff is ready.  And, that's good.

Going back onto kefir, full blast, at it's most potent, is quite a shock to the system.  Even the weaker stuff will have me cleaning and clearing, inside out, like a cow pie manufacturing plant.  It'll be a bit rough for a bit.  But, once the gut biome is back to tops, it all levels out.  As I've mentioned, I always used to see corn for a week, in my bm's, after eating a dozen or two fresh on the cob corn.  After doing kefir?  I saw nary a kernel.  It... makes your gut a lot more... functional.  Might help with nutritional absorption, too.  Which is excellent, as my liver and kidneys aren't in great shape.  Anything that helps, that way, is good.  This is like giving the stomach extra sets of mechanical and chemical teeth sets by which to absolute crush foods into their most basic, wanted, and needed components.  Like adding food "car crushers" in there.  Absolutely demolishes even fresh corn off the cob.

Of course, the first thing is does, is hunts the bad things in your gut, the less effective things, and... eats them first.  Then begins setting up shop, like a good gut mafia, taking over the joint, and creating a smooth profitable operation.  Plus, the stuff is excellent, when you get used to it.  Even the bitter part.  I wonder if it is a form of bitters?  It's got that... taste, if not that intensely?  I'll have to look that up.

Not really finding a link, if I suspect kefir is a bitter.  It has a particular form of acid.  Which seems to be the same with the other bitters, like apple cider vinegar.  Different acid, same idea, methinks.  Might not be considered a true, or proper, bitter.  But more because of traditional definitions, not based on chemical truths?  Like a schnapp might have a particular historic definition, that excludes a similar (or even same but foreign) drink, concoction, mix.  Just... wondering.

Anyway... I'll get that started.  Later.
