It’s SO odd I definitely don’t want eggs now… Well I did eat the little on my plate (about half a whipped egg?) - for 2 meals… My 6 yolks + 4 eggs sponge cakes make 13 muffins but the mold only has 12 holes so I fry the 13th in a pan. It’s fun and fluffy and then it deflates… But still very different this way.
I got super easy satiation and negative appetite when a bit hungry today. So I ate this for 2 meals where I really did my best to stuff myself, it was borderline forceful… Some meat still was left but I ate – not that (as it was just some lean stuff without any nice outer parts) but some nicer pieces later.
I had eggy, milky coffees and 5 sponge cakes too (with butter and cream cheese) as they were easier to stomach than meat after a point. Had 3 meals, almost could skip the 3rd but I had tea and tea is wet and I want something dry with it (just like I like some liquid with very dry food)… Especially that I was borderline hungry…
I ate at 4:45, 6:15 and around 9. Wasn’t particularly hungry today, I even wondered at 4pm that what if I have all my roasted pork and I can fast? But no, soon I clearly felt my body wanted food.
I am barely satiated now, it’s emptier than the perfect satiation but still quite okay. I am easier to tempt in this state but I ate okay and I am determined anyway.
I shot some raw pork yesterday.
The left one is the thing called “thigh” here, green ham, I often call it “leaner pork”. Well the slabs in the city tend to be fattier, with a thin fat layer on it but this one is even fattier 
But the meat part was still quite lean and the fat isn’t enough for me. It’s probably the actual muscle? Sometimes this cut is lovely and juicy and pink when done, sometimes it’s white and feels leaner… It was far from dry but it was leaner what I like except the lovely fatty bites.
On the right there is some pork shoulder. It is fatty but I saw fattier… Now that I ate some of it, yep, even the meat part is noticeably fatty everywhere.
I just prefer pork chuck in its perfection… Sometimes I am really into the above cuts too but those must be very good slabs, they just aren’t always the same. Just like I am not always the same either. Today I kind of wanted pan fried pork, not roast… But I had a low appetite anyway. Maybe that’s why I needed 2 meals for this tiny food.
And actually, below the 2 big slabs (I cut off pieces and froze them. I roasted most of the leaner one and a smallish part of the shoulder) there is some hidden tenderloin I shared with Alvaro. Only ate a little. Way too lean just as expected, of course he liked it. It’s more expensive than my fav cuts but it was on sale in tiny amounts so I thought I should try it once.
Lazy to track (and I am clueless about the fattiness anyway. I still will track how much meat I eat 
) despite the simplicity of my day (could be done even better, of course), maybe tomorrow. But I am very sure I didn’t eat very much.
We had NO RAIN today… Wow. We had it every day last week I think… And often quite much. So we have rotting fruits as both are sensitive to rain…
{Only garden stuff from now on. I got a bit carried away.}
My June radishes (the actual name involves John’s nameday, that’s on the 26th here if I remember right) are happily flowering in white and purple. I never want to sow radishes again, they just don’t behave this year and it was not perfect in the past either but better.
My sorrels are flowering too but they are allowed, it’s not like I eat more than a few leaves per year… I don’t need to sow them, that was one year, now they are just other green leaves among the grass. That’s the one good thing in green leaves, they don’t need to take space in my tiny and more and more flowery veggie patch as they look fine enough somewhere in the grass. The original raw was in the ex-raspberry patch, those are among violets now. ZILLIONS of violets. After the raspberries suddenly died out for some mystical reason. But the sly things went to places, they jumped down on the wall (we have a wall in the garden with a few stairs in the middle. as elevation is very serious there), got into my pansy/periwinkle (oh I still need to buy the latter, my pansies had their usual summer heat death weeks ago) flower box… Just because I don’t need them multiplying, what’s the harm? Just green leaves.
I keep my decorative red/green swiss chards behind the tulip row around the veggie patch. But they keep popping up in the veggie patch itself… I get those out, they aren’t THAT pretty (too tiny for that). And I tested them a few times, not particularly edible either. And people eat them… They have ZERO taste, maybe it’s the plant, maybe it’s me. But they are attractive when big and healthy and very green and very red. And they get to that eventually, even bugs don’t bother them here. My poor cornflowers got aphids but I have ways against them. Morning glories are always pretty but they barely started to run up to whatever they can find, I realized I have no strings for them so they need to wait a few days more until I give them their proper path, up to the top of a quite tall lamp nearby!
It’s a joy to have a garden And work too, now that the rain is over, I suppose I will mow the lawn every day, my big bold dream is cutting it in the whole garden (and outside both direction). Never did it that quick. Good timing, even the latest hawkweeds are done with their flowering (I want them to go to places, to win over the ugly, messy grass that just can’t behave… one can dream, right? but they are cute too. when flowering. otherwise barely noticeable).
Of course we still heroically cut off dry branches and try to burn them all when we do outside cooking… It never will end. And there are dead thujas to cut off…

i think we are very blessed on here to have such a good community.
Just love looking at your patio and flowers!
i can’t make a decision so i get 1 or 2 of each ! No idea where i will put them but hey ho … we will see what develops. They weren’t expensive, i got some fr9m the supermarket and they were buy 2 get 1 free and some i got from pound shop (which i dhould hve gone to first because yhey were only 40p each) Here are the lillies i got from the pound shop last year and i wasn’t expecting them to return but they have come back with avengence , so many buds waiting to bloom! 
cancelled the CF class at 6.40am and then i decided to go afterall. I did about 50 or so stair runs then ran to the box did a wod which consisted of a lot of running and walked back home.
