No, the meat stuff is normal, totally. The SOUP is the steroids version tho-- it grew. :~) It's cooling now, waiting to be packed.
I added another gallon of sausage-cooking liquid from the freezer, and several bags of frozen soup-type veg, including chopped OKRA. And a liberal splash of cider vinegar for its diabetic-friendly properties, to re-sour it once I'd increased the liquid.
This will be frozen in the same manner as the fruit-bars upthread, for instant-use in a nuked mug. No carb-- they can be added as needed for whatever the day's carb count has been. A solution to the late-aftn slump or that last fill-us-up after a small lunch. And a portable, cheap replacement for canned soups loaded with sugars, artifood, and sodium.
I may have to make this sometime on purpose. :~) With mushrooms.
