Day SeventyOne: Thursday 4am... Heather woke up turned on the alarm for 5am... then promptly went back to sleep. Ya me not so much, awake... might as well pee... great now I'm up... some morning scrabble? Sure why not. Heather made it off to work at 6... 6:15 Lawson gets up... oh dear lord it's going to be one of those days. Minecraft HardCore started early today... we went on a little walk about looking for supplies. We had a few near death moments and called it time for breakfast... back to omelettes, sausage, cheese, onions, peppers... but not the boy... PLAIN... Just Cheese... Boring! We briefly got back to Minecraft for a bit but as his friends started to get active on the Xbox he migrated to the basement to kill shit with them... I hear a lot of noise coming from down there... sounds like we are raising pigs and he's down there yanking on their tails or something... the squealing is horrible. Made some soup for lunch, a little left over turkey from the freezer, some stellini, other assorted stuff from the spice rack... All is good. Then some more Fortnite with his friends and some videos... I should really get back to that book and some home work for him but this afternoon was spent getting rid of bigger things around the property, trying to clean out all the vehicles and unloved trailers... down to 4 trailers, 5 cars (1 parts wagon, my daughters car, the bee and 2 daily drivers), and a firetruck... now to see if I can get the ones leaving to run or be in a position to at least be pulled from the yard. Heather braved the grocery store on the way home for some basics... Our kitchen is getting depleted, honestly it's a good thing... at the start of this we could have made it until now without shopping at all, we wouldn't have starved... we wouldn't have been eating as well as we normally do but wouldn't have starved... if we had to go another month with what was left I'm not sure concerns about what we ate would be including: does this have too many carb? does this have too many calories? does may ass look fat in these jeans? As this point I have no ass left... I think I must have scratched it off. Pretty sure my stomach hurts because I can't easily digest that is better than my stomach hurts because I'm starving to death. Pretty sure we could have made it at least 6 months before running out of food before we got rid of the freezer. I can see the conversations on day 174... any idea what this is? Nope... looks like it's been in the bottom of the freezer a long time. Want to thaw it out and guess again? Not really. Ya, I'm not really that hungry either. Hey maybe we could slice it frozen and swallow the pieces without having to taste it? What, you don't like the taste of freezer? Good Point... There must have been a lot of eggs at the store... Heather came home with our weekly Pre-COVID19 egg count (4-5 dozen) - Our cooking involves a lot of eggs. Dinner tonight was a double request for a Rehash of Breakfast Food... Lawson wanted Waffles and Heather wanted some of my Pancakes... I was thinking about trying my mix in the waffle iron (last attempt was not pretty, but also wasn't this recipe) but I opted to change the recipe slightly to try to make the Pancakes more Waffley... A little baking soda, a skoosh more water, separate the eggs, whip the whites and then fold them back into the batter... still letting it stand for at least 5 minutes before cooking them... I think it might work, they tasted more like waffles and had the same texture... and looks like they might hold up better... I'll let you know how it goes next time when it actually makes it into the waffle iron. More Bacon... she got more bacon... I hope it's not the micro sliced crap again. You know I'm thinking about it... there is a reality based cooking game show in all this someplace, just wait for it. 'We've taken normal people who like to cook, put them in a kitchen with 500 ingredients... none of which have ever been successfully added together in a single recipe with any success... Today we are going to find out: "What Makes Me Barf or Not!" All the ingredients are in water damaged containers, no legible labels, mixed up on the shelves like even the apocalypse survivors have turned there noses up it the whole lot... You have 5 minutes to shop, no dollar limit, everything is free, not everything is edible... GO!" Tic toc tic toc tic... BBbzzzzz... OK Steve let's see what you got... Ya well I saw the pots and pans we have to cook in and thought I would definitely need some Pam to keep stuff from sticking... this stuff in the Yellow can looks a lot like Pam but I tried spraying it and it has a caustic lemon scent to it, so I may use it to flavor some lemon pudding or something like that. So after cooking has ended the players have to predict if it is going to make them barf or not as they will be the only ones subject to eat what they have made, purely for legal reasons... If you guess correctly you score 10 points... If you guess 'Not' and are able to keep it down for at least 3 minutes you score a bonus 5 points... if you Barf and get any on your opponents they get the option of taking your points (points divided evenly between all those in the spew zone that actually have chunks on them) OR they can opt to let you keep your points but have to eat a second helping in hopes that you won't be able to physically compete in the following round.... SORRY Where Was I? Ah yes after dinner Lawson played some more with his friends on the Xbox I tried to get a mic hooked up so we could have our phone back but no luck... I have to have something lying around here someplace that will work. Meh! A job for another day. GN
