Apr. 29th, 2020 11:20 pmI got the fridge cleaned out yesterday. Well, mostly. I'm sure there are still things in there that should be thrown out. I emptied enough containers to fill up the dishwasher and then took the trash to the bin. The containers were bad enough that Cordelia filled and ran the dishwasher immediately.
My allergies are bad today. My assumption is that it's just Michigan in April being filled with pollen, but it's still no fun. Starting up the furnace fan (it's too warm for the furnace and too cool for the AC) to filter the air has helped. Well, and sudafed and a shower as well. The furnace fan is my longer term strategy since it will keep pulling air through the filters as long as I keep it running.
I made soup this evening. My hands are not entirely happy with me over that choice, but the stuff I put in needed using up. I expected the soup to thicken more than it did and am not sure why it didn't. I've got it cooling now so that I can put it away without burning myself.
Tomorrow, if my hands are up to it, I'll make biscuits to go with the soup. I've got cooked squash, Jiffy mix, and shredded cheese. It's vastly easier on my hands if I use the stand mixer, but doing that changes the texture of the biscuits considerably in ways I don't much like. I think it overworks the flour. It's just that working the dough with a fork is really, really, really hard on my hands.
I keep forgetting to read DreamWidth, so I apologize if I miss anything. I try to catch up, but I'm skimming very rapidly when I'm doing the skip=180 thing.
