Rolling into a rest week

So this week turns out to be a "rest week"; I rest on what would normally be my first run-only day (Thurday), and my swims are shorter than those from last week. Today also marks the first day of 80 reps each for my strength exercises. That felt quite good.

I went on a long walk to get my distance in for the day. I bought a bottle of avocado oil; even from a clearance store, a liter (which is almost a perfect week's worth) is $15. I can get a week's worth of butter for about $11. On the one hand, 20-25% savings. On the other hand, it's only $4, and the benefit is no refrigeration needed. I made one meal with it; I want to see how it tastes. This morning, I also made a meal of chocolate keto chow with heavy cream, chilled it, and ran it through the ice cream machine. It was so-so; neither good nor bad. Tomorrow is a 1.5-hour bike ride at an easy pace, so about 20 miles. I should go to the hardware store with my bike trailer, buy a big basin, then bike 20 miles round trip to work to deliver some flour and get a covid test. From there, I cold go pick crab apples, a whole basin full; bring them home, wash them, and maybe get to trimming. I could be making juice by Wednesday, which I'd have to store for maybe 2-3 weeks while I await the arrival of the weck jars I ordered today; a dozen each of 160 and 500 mL sizes. Crab apple jelly and, crab apple butter, and crab apple leather. It should be worth it.
