Can't be sure when.

It wasn't too much later, after posting.  I didn't see it coming.  Thought I would have a sense of it, and do some things.  Then again, I did get Sassy fed, checked to phone... putting it into airplane mode, setting up do not disturb on top of that, shutting it off, and then plugging in to charge.  A few other things?  I don't know.

Now, as I was crawling into bed?  I wouldn't have even remembered, save that when I took a quick peep outside, I saw something somewhat shocking.  I had to get my glasses, to make sure.  Something seemed to be falling out of the sky, but it couldn't be?  Could it?

Yes, it was snowing this morning, as I crawled in to bed.  It was even looking to be sticking, to some degree.  Absolutely amazed me.  After the shock, I crawled on back into bed.  Falling to sleep very quickly, and very deeply.  I am still feeling rough.  And the cool is getting to me.  Though it's approaching getting too warm.  It's that time of year where it is still jumping from one to the other, which is a messy time for me.

The worst times are when it can go from frigid to blistering in a few days, and does.  The next worst is when it is, and stays, somewhat extreme.  Too hot, or too cold, for longer periods.  Even so, I prefer those to the middling doldrums of weather.  When nothing is too hot, or cold, but nothing changes for a longer time.  So... boring, dull.  I, to some degree, can't win.  Either weather bores me, or it beats me to a pulp... while I enjoy it, and fight it.  Meh.

Got to get something to eat.  Thinking of checking that steak, dicing it if it is still good.  Frying it well, crispy, salty... simple this first time.  Perhaps using some of the higher fiber bread, to make folded half toast sandwiches with the stuff.  Uhm, and butter.  Yum.  Hungry.  Okay, not hungry, just... want food.  Possibly lemon on some of it, to see if I like that.

A deep fryer would be good.  Though, using oil even twice, and finding good oil, are too difficult.  Is it really worth being, trying to be, a stickler about food?  I think it is.  Even if I am dying at a terrible pace, life is worth fighting for.  Failure?  Sure, can't completely avoid it, even if I do my level best.  Bad actors in food procurement, poor or corrupt government oversight of the food supply, incidents, accidents, and my own inability to always follow exactly through on the good, better, best, plans.  Well, and the limits to my knowledge.

So, I'll stay away from deep fryers.  If I want to do some such, I'll use cast iron pans.  I have a cast fryer with really high walls, as well, I have a couple of cast iron dutch ovens, one enameled, one plain.  

I keep looking for an air fryer, but one that is stainless on all the insides and the baskets (or where those would be available to replace any non-stick pans or baskets.  People really don't realize how bad non-stick is.  You can tell them.  Even if you could make them truly understand, and they finally believed?  Many just don't care.  If they end up without children, or with a serious cancer?  Still won't care.  Fated, or some such.

Now, for me?  It's as much of a game as a process and lifestyle.  Not truly living a healthy life.  I can't.  If I were to do that, I'd grow the few veggies I ate.  I would very possibly butcher my own cattle.  I would find people who sell chickens, grown on their farm.  And I would work out.  All of those things are just a bit beyond my abilities.  But I can watch what I eat, take some care, see what works best and go that way?  Perfection isn't for the here and now.

We have, at most, around a hundred years.  Why not try to make the best of it?  And so I, finally, do.  My last woman sort of... brought me to knowing more, better.  Funny thing is?  I think she was doing that more for politics, and the wrong politics.  I wonder how much of what she did she still does.  Now that she doesn't have resistance.  I generally avoid "organic", local or corporate.  Neither can really be trusted, and the price hasn't shown quality.  Go with the freshest, and local if you can, but not organic.  I haven't gone with grass fed, grass finished, beef, as I honestly can't see the price to quality.  It might be there.  Though, too, it depends on where the cattle are pastured.  If just hay, or too much of the year?  And... what sort of hay?  Well, and the other problem, is eating that much beef, for one, in time?  It's... difficult.  A quarter, maybe half, might be doable.  Though... really?  I only want ribeye (and various other steaks), chuck, hamburger, and offal.  Seems quite a waste to get that much meat.  And it goes off, through time.  Even a year old beef can be a bit tight.  And the prices?  Even their offal is far beyond my ability to pay.

I just can't afford that sort of beef.  And, am doing fairly well with storebought.  Prices keep getting jacked though, not sure how long, or how much.  Though I eat a lot less.  So, say... seventy in steaks will last... two weeks?  And I get it rather fresh, no frozen.  And that is at the highest of prices.  But at that cost, I just can't store much up these days.

Hungry.  I am.  Let me check that steak.  If good, large rough dices, and frying.  Later.
