Revenge of the Chia

Today I hoped to get around to cleaning out my refrigerator.  Since going on a fairly stringent carnivore diet I haven't eaten 'sugar-free' preserves or jellies and I knew there were a number of half used jars in my refrigerator, along with other nameless concoctions.  After cleaning out the revolving shelves in the corner cupboard and disposing of some things and consolidating others, I didn't think there was enough time left in the day to clean out the fridge, but I went ahead and did it.  I had expected to have to sign for the delivery of a power supply for my scanner so I only went to the temple for about an hour this morning and performing initiatory ordinances.  I stopped by Smith's looking for some bargains on beef and found a whole leg of lamb for $5.99 a pound, which was more per pound for meat than the boneless leg Jing  gave me, but I had eaten the last of that roast and wanted some stored in my freezer.  I put a thermometer probe in the meat and it was done sufficiently for me to eat it at around 11 AM.  I then cut the roast into slices and portions and stored it, rendering down the juice and fat in the bottom of the roasting pan and putting it in a silicone muffin 'tin' to stiffen up and then be frozen.  This means I will have the lovely sauce to eat with each portion as I thaw it.  My daughter Lucinda visited with her children and each one brought me a flower as well as several nice little gifts, including tiny stone animals.  Finally, after closing the door on my chickens and observing that they had picked all the meat and gristle from the bone of the leg of lamb, I decided to go ahead and deal with the refrigerator.  I found a really nasty mess in the bottom.  It was super tough and very sticky and black.  I finally identified it as chia seeds that had spilled, been moistened, then it swelled and stuck and made a really nasty mess, but not as bad as if it had been the mold that I suspected.  It is nearing time for me to wrap up for the day and I have finished cleaning out the refrigerator to my satisfaction.  I still need to tidy up the kitchen, but that is not nearly the challenge it might have been.  I'm grateful that I kept to carnivore today, eating lamb, taking some butter and drinking some whipping cream.
