Mass of Makgeolli

Today, I started a massive batch of makgeolli. I tried to steam 4 KG of glutinous rice, but the rice touching the steamer basket seemed to shield the rest of the rice from being cooked. So I transferred it to a pot with water, and let it cool for a few hours while I went for a walk. I then transferred it to my new (to me, and now clean) dehydrator at 135F. It will shortly get added to 800 grams (ish) of nuruk, 4 tablespoons of yeast, and 8 liters of water.

This week has been generally a success. 48 km of running and over 100 km of biking. On Thursday, I volunteered for a few hours at a local bike repair workshop. I achieved 100 reps for every bodyweight exercise 3 days this week. Next week, I should reach 66 km of running, which leaves me at 72 for the next week.

I zested about 16 oranges and added the zest to 1.75 liters of absolut vodka. I also bought two 1.75 liters jugs of Texan vodka for future cordial recipes. I also juiced the oranges; it wouldn't do to let them go to waste.

I went on a long walk today, and bought a fair number of things for a survival kit. Woven wire from the craft store (bead section), safety pins, needles, and thread from the craft store, hooks, sinkers, swivels, and braided line from the tackle store, and some gorilla tape. I also bought needles, thread, safety pins and a pair of scissors for a proper sewing kit; they all fit nicely into a small otter box.
