So a bit over 3 miles today with the folding bike. It was a good walk, and I saw a bit more of Chelsea. I got curious later in the day and looked up the city limits and some statistics. This is the smallest, most densely packed city in the state; it's also one of only three with a majority latino population. Fully 93% of the people here are either registered democrats or unregistered. Interesting.
A coincidence resulted in me getting a box of free produce; lettuce, green onions, white onions, parsley, celery, peaches, plums, thyme, mushrooms, yams, limes, and blueberries. I can eat most of it on keto. I consumed my last two prepared keto chow meals for breakfast and lunch today, so dinner consisted of two large bowls of salad, which was more satisfying than I had anticipated. Having all this produce puts me in a bad position when it comes to the whole "minimum stuff in the fridge" experiment, but I'd rather fail at that experiment than let good food go to waste. I'm going to give myself an out. With the exceptions of the lettuce and yams, I know how to dry all of these things very well. So if I start down the road of preserving all of them tomorrow, I'll let the lapse in fridge use slide. The plums and peaches need time to ripen anyway. The white onions can become onion flakes, the parsley and thyme dried and powdered or just crushed, and the mushrooms and celery sliced and dried. The lettuce (and the bit of fresh spinach I have left) will just get eaten as salads over the next few days. The limes will be juiced for salad dressing or drinks. The blueberries I will allow myself as a treat tomorrow, IF I do my full stretching, strength training, and get a good bike trek in. Today was 30 reps of pushups, situps, and squats. 35 tomorrow. And a solid bike trek; I mean REALLY solid. I did easily 13+ miles of biking today, and I'm anticipating little to none tomorrow, so a longer trek is easily manageable.
