"Forget the food, John, you can do that later."

He had forgotten about his experiment for now and he certainly wasn't going to be doing any cleaning. He was very lucky that Mrs. Hudson, despite all protestations to the contrary about her not being a housekeeper, was more than happy to bring him cups of tea and actually do some dusting once in a while. And that John took care of the other menial tasks, such as shopping, for otherwise he might be a very clever, but also very dead detective.

"There's a case out there, I can smell it. We're going to find it. I don't know why I didn't think of it before, why must we wait for Lestrade to call? London is rife with murderers and rapists, all we need do is find one."

So his basic idea was to go tramping around in the freezing cold with John, looking aimlessly for a murder victim or murderer.
