Day 51

  Okay, let’s do the math. At a rate of two big Kanalele every other day, I’ll run out of them in less than a week. Meaning, if I don’t get a new meat source soon, I might have to suffer once again. Why suffer, you ask? Because eating good food is one of the three constant joys I can experience in this place, aside from sledding and the companionship of the spirits. Meat is the only ingredient that makes the eternal soup taste good. It’s important. Without the fat from any meat, the eternal soup is basically warm nut-tomato juice with bland, rubbery slime noodles. I know I shouldn’t be complaining, since it still fills my stomach, but still… I think I’m developing a withdrawal scare after eating smoked pork regularly for so long now. Or maybe I actually had a withdrawal a couple of days ago—I don’t know. It’s rather hard to reflect on myself when the only thing that could help me compare and process is only my mind. Hooo, Gods, I am so lonely. If only these spirits of my nuts could talk or—wait, no, don’t let them all talk. I couldn’t handle all six hundred of them if they are talking. Although, maybe, one or two of them is fine—

  Anyway, thinking about food, I did some inventory check this morning. As the slime boxes produce slimes so effectively, the newly reclaimed cold storage house became almost full before I even realized it. Currently, I have half a dozen stone pots worth of assorted nuts, thirteen stone pots worth of dried slimes, ten stone pots worth of cherry tomatoes, and two stone pots of nut wine. I’m planning on expanding the storage tomorrow as the nuts field will be ready for harvest the day after.

  I put the stack of burnt smoked pigs outside the cold storage, near the slime boxes, for easier feeding, and they’re almost gone now.

  Today’s menu.

  Breakfast: A bowl of eternal soup 3.1.

  Lunch: A bowl of eternal soup 3.1 + a cup of cherry tomato juice.

  Dinner: A bowl of eternal soup 3.1.
