PB, if I didn't think you must be a flurry of activity already, I'd ask you to just walk me through a basic seed-to-hob workflow for growing lovely tomatoes (don't ask me how last year's gardening attempt went!), making tomato sauce, and canning the sauce (or just peeled tomatoes, even) for future use... in real time. Like, each step "your seeds should start sprouting in the next couple of days, and when they do, you'll need to..." My ADHD brain needs it all broken down into the basic steps. And I need reminders. So many reminders! But I do think, once I've got over the hurdle and had one success, I might be able to extrapolate to other foods on my own. I just can't get over the initial wall.
Anyway, my five:
1. I can't believe it's Friday again already. I admit I was late with last week's five, so the week is shorter, but my husband had both Monday and Tuesday off, so the work week was already half over when it started. It's been really confusing. But, yay!
2. Steaks are dry-brining in the 'fridge for tonight. My husband is cooking them, so they will be tasty.
3. I'm going to try some of the bread-making methods from the Chain Baker (YouTube channel) for today's loaf. I'm still looking at options... no overnight fermentations, though, as I've already missed that boat.
4. There's a web-based game by a software engineer who works at reddit, called
Wordle, that I'm instantly hooked on. Every day, there is a different five-letter word that you have to guess. You get six guesses, and after each guess, it tells you if the letters in your guess are in the target word in the right positin, in the target word but the wrong position, or not in the target word. Thing is, there's only one game per 24-hour day, so I find myself itching to play but unable to. I've played three days, now. I did not guess the target word on my first day, but I managed it yesterday and today. My husband got it both days he's played, and he hasn't played today's word yet. It chafes that he has 100% showing, and I have 67% showing. I hope he fails today.
5. I
need to make something for my sister, and I have an idea for something I
want to make for my husband, but I don't want to go outside to the (unheated) workshop. Ugh. At least the next gift-giving event isn't until June. Plenty of time to procrastinate.
