I am not well today (only physically though my brain functions seem pathetic and that is physical even if mental…), I just write about my food, okay? As the weather is gloomy too (I took flower photos yesterday, I will check them later).
Not that very hungry but food felt a great idea when we came home from shopping (we didn’t find the nice items on sale 
I bought a small pork hock but IDK what one does with it. well roast it, surely but I always bought smoked hock, not raw one. oh well. I badly need lard at this point!) so I ate. It was simple, leftover fried pork chuck and freshly made chicken liver! I tossed it into the oven with some butter (500g liver minus the liquid I don’t like but the cats are crazy for it, 20g butter… and it didn’t even need that much, apparently but it was welcomed) and just left it for an hour. It got so ugly (liver tends to be that anyway), black and hard (for soft liver, at least) on top, moist and pink beneath… And it was absolutely fabulous, we inhaled it all (except a lil piece, I had low appetite and low hunger and I had to eat pork chuck too 
). The looks were so deceiving!
And that’s it, no dessert or anything. I did had coffee as I was miserable and subtly headache-y but I almost run out of it and I hopefully will stop soon.
I never will give up tea myself, I drink quite much. Even better hydration as coffee but both can do the job. I just don’t like when coffee does it, that’s unneccessarily costly and messy. I am drinking a glass of spicy tea now, I like it. All the spice I had was in my tea, not in my meat dishes as they were tasty without…
Carbonated water got way pricier suddenly, Alvaro must have been in a bad phase (well he is, working in a cooling room due to fuel theft) talking about stopping drinking it… I find it very, very useful and while the raise is significant, I must say $1.1 for 3 liters isn’t such a high price… It’s still rather cheap. It lasts for weeks! I mentioned my coffee costs to Alvaro. That’s not that low, to put it lightly, not even now. Or my tea cost but I never counted that, I wonder how much it can be…
I need very much water every day and I need variety. Carbonated water works for me way better for strong thirst than anything else. And it’s fun too.
Our orders arrived so we almost can swim in coconut oil now. Alvaro’s chocolate (160g coconut oil per week) is safe and that’s important. I just want lard but we have butter and it is delicious so things aren’t dire. Oh we get a young rabbit again on Monday! Egg lady has them pretty frequently in the last years and Alvaro almost never says no to one or two The taste is subtle but still very nice and the meat is so very tender! Nice for variety.
Oh and I have carni sugar. As I ordered milk and whey powder too, just a tiny bit. I have some off-carni plans with them but I probably will use them in a pinch 
For now, I try to focus on meat.
But if I am here, I talk about a video I saw. The kids complained about the vegs in the chicken soup (apparently, many kids hate the texture. I never had that problem but some vegs were to add flavor, not to eat by me. just a few) and the parent made a soup with only the ingredient approved by the kids: chicken, water, salt and noodles. And the kids disliked the result and understood why vegs are important. The comments were mostly predictable, praising the parents and talking about how vegs are mandatory in a healthy diet - but some people wrote their family did the same and the kids LOVED the chicken soup lacking vegs. Not surprising, some kids must have that taste but it was nice to see it “backfired” a few times… I wrote my own adult opinion. I probably wouldn’t like a mere chicken soup but let’s add some pork or use a very very superb home-raised chicken or rather a nice hen (even store-bought has taste) and the result will be quite delicious without any vegs or spices.
I probably will make a soup using pork chuck bone and pork hock bone really soon. It’s still little so I may add the front legs of the rabbit… Or some other parts but it’s easiest to cut those when we want to put the rest into the freezer.
Oh, nice food in my belly (not much but enough for now) and a comment here and I got somewhat cheered up. (And Alvaro is at home, that helps, I can go and get a comfort hug any time.)
I write about goals next time. Except the one where I try to be concise. I failed that now but it really helped me to write about nice things here.
One of our best topics so far is all the zc food pictures and what we eat for our meals. Honestly seeing the wonderful meals you guys post, I so enjoy that part of the thread!! Plus it is great we have many total experienced zc’ers on this thread, it makes it a great place to feel in good company!
and nostalgic. we kids used to eat milk powder. no one cared for making milk out of it, that isn’t good… but the powder alone? just like the lemon drink powder, no one added water to that either).
