Cooking madly

wiseheart... because tomorrow there will be cleaning, and that's bad enough for one day. I made Topfenknödel for today and two days' worth of Mary Berry's Chicken Panang stir-fry with rice and zucchinis and tomatoes. It's a bit different from the original recipe that uses paprika and celery to the zucchinis, but I have to use veggies that we like and that Mum can eat. I love these kind of dishes where everything goes into a large frying pan (well, rice has to be cooked and the meat has to be pre-fried a bit, but still) and is ready in 20 minutes. I also made carrot soup - not the one I learned from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
curiouswombat because the stir-fry already had ginger in it, but this version is good, too.
All that cooking ate the whole morning, but I still finished two more lavender sachets in the early afternoon and glued on a felt appliqué to a third one; the only one that's already filled, or else I'd have sewn on the appliqué. But I refused to undo the whole sachet just because I got an idea concerning decoration.
The rest of the afternoon was a bit chaotic, with doing a short walk within the building with Mum (since it's still raining), multiple phone calls (none for me, but I had to answer them) and some telly watching. I also called H. (so much for family connections) and had a nap. And now I'm trying to type up the rewritten pages for Chapter 2. That counts as writing, right?
