I feel as if someone had beaten me.

Friends, the stew is in the Dutch oven and I´m in bed again, resting my back. I AM old. The cooking was not easy from the beginning. A Dutch oven is wonderful, except that it weighs a ton. Then I got out the meat. The meat had one very good thing and one bad one. When I took it off the plastic, I discovered that it was meat from Argentina. The best in the world! Shall we thank president Milei for it? The people from Argentina are so poor that they are selling cheap their awesome meat. The bad thing about it though was that it had too much fat so I had to cut out fat and clean it, all standing up. And ever since I had back surgery (over 30 years ago) I hurt a lot when I´m standing for too long. So I cleaned it, cut it up, diced and caramelized onions all the time hating myself because I could have fried a sunny side up egg and set it over some rice. The stew will take ages as it is an inexpensive (and a little tough) meat. But I´m not hungry. I´m too tired to be hungry. And anyway, if I do get hungry I can eat a piece of cake. OR some ice cream. I forgot to tell you that there was a sale in ice cream yesterday. And of course I bought some. I might take a nap while the stew is cooking. I wou´n make a fire. I left it simmering very low.
