My stew was literally done and then since I happen to be on-call this week for work I got a severity-2 page. Had the teeniest of bowl servings. Got to work for 3 hours with my boss to figure out the issue.
It is now 12am. Since I left the Dutch oven with its cover on it stayed pretty warm. So I warmed it up more and started picking at it. Best stew I’ve ever made. No question. Even the damn potatoes. I had added them with just about an hour left of cook time and the cover off in the oven. So the potato chunk edges mostly all got a bit crispy while soaking in the stew. So effing good. Anywho, now waiting for it to cool a bit and then pt in fridge. Then do cleanup and get to sleep.

Also, we are so making some beef stew next week. This is all your fault. Well, we were gonna do it anyway, but it's fun blaming Spike21 for things. |

what are some of your non car related hobbies?
im really into backcountry backpacking, doing 5 day treks with a tent and sleeping back in my backpack with ramen to cook on a jetboil and trail mix for breakfast. this summer i did the idaho sawtooth wilderness loop, a 70 mile trip through 10,000 foot mountains, 5 days on the trail.

So, as Humfrz mentioned, I finished the first 1/4 of it. Though I may throw an extra chapter in to expand on a particular character. It's honestly the boring introduction part of it, although the prologue is very in medias res so quite entertaining. Mostly just setting the scene for the rest of the book as there is a lot of world and character building. Gotta talk about the main character's motivations and formulate an antagonist. As for the whole book, it's a science-fiction war novel in the sense of Starship Troopers or The Forever War. So although it's set in a futuristic setting, it's still very much an allegory for survival guilt and coming to terms of never getting closure. But for good measure I throw in a lovely little twist, which has roots planted within the first quarter. Mostly so that it doesn't become too preachy and still be entertaining for the average reader. Though I decided early on not to dumb down much of the military lingo. I had the idea of keeping it rather apolitical, but being a war novel, that's inherent. So I just try to be very vague and only have knowledge given that the main character (a recon scout grunt) would know. I should also add I plant to incorporate themes from both a war novel as well as psychological horror elements and some cliche scifi. Although I want things as ground in reality as possible. I mean, I took a physics and international relations class in college just for this lol.

I made a snowflake method outline. But that doesn't mean I won't go back and add more at some point.
