... and I'm not speaking about the usual routine, like giving Mum her weekly shower, washing my hair, taking down the dried washing and the likes.

Today I had kitchen duty. The cauliflower I had bought yesterday needed to be pre-cooked, cooled down, put into freezer bags and frozen for future use. For lunch, I made a mushroom-and-ham omelet with grated cheese and history's worst soup. For some reason trying to make gebundene Gemüsesuppe always ends in failure. I don't know why. It isn't such a complicated thing; and yet I fail every single time with it. Of course, I made a large pot. Enough for at least three days. Mum, being the soup junkie that she is, will eat it willingly enough. I might kip my portion into the loo...

Aside from the cooking disaster, I did some writing and crafting. The red felt bunnies are almost done. All that's left is the stitching of their faces, plus sewing the front and back panels together and stuffing them. I hope to finish them tomorrow or the day after. *fingers crossed*

Writing was considerably less abundant, but I did write a little bit, after I've googled for info on infected leg wounds. This is an alternate version of the TOS episode "Plato's Stepchildren", after all.

A failure in which way? Did it have lumps?

No. It just didn't have any taste whatsoever. And that after having used the boiling water of the cauliflower, adding carrots, parsley and celery root, Suppenwürfel, chili sauce and tomato puree!

Nearly impossible to do a bland soup with all those ingredients (minus the boiling water of the cauliflower for me). Maybe add some ginger, and do not forget to roast the vegetables first, to get some roasting flavours!

It is a gift. One I'd prefer not to have but I wasn't asked.

Yeah, no idea how the soup turned out tasteless with so many flavors in there, but it happens. For me, my jinxed soup is pumpkin soup. Can't ever get it to taste anything other than cardboard.

I don't know why I keep trying. There are soups I can do reasonably well, even though I'm not a soup lover, but this one...

How frustrating! Good that mom like it, at least.

Mum loves soup, so it has to be really bad for you to refuse eating it. A simple lack of taste won't bother her at all.

At least your bunny project seems to be going well. I hope your soup making skills return soon.

I don't even like soup, to be honest. If I can, I go for these powdered things you have to mix into boiling water, stir and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the brand, and be done with it.
