Plans for today (2025)

I had a total chill out day, tho I did start planing 2 untried recipe adaptions.
I fancy trying Easter Biscuits and swapping the butter for oil (so can't cream the butter and sugar). Checked average recipe's, made alterations and now have something I can test.
I also fancied adapting a chocolate tart recipe, so I now have that recipe almost ready to test.
 
Smoker cooking day today 👏
Gotta get going though, they emailed asking me to turn up 20mins before everyone else so they can put me on a smoker nearest the host so I stand a better chance of hearing everything.
Very nice of them.

Hopefully by this afternoon I'll have eaten more smoked meat than you can shake a stick at and will know what sort of smoker I want to get 🤞
 
Preparing for some harsh weather today (heavy rains, flooding, damaging straight-line winds, hail, and tornadoes because why not?).

If the models are right, the worst of it should pass just south of us, but too close for comfort - that means my secondary concern is loss of power…and we just filled the freezer… 😒
 
For the record, it’s still March and this is our fourth severe weather warning this year…we had our first one (complete with tornado warnings) in January. January!

We were supposed to head to the family seat to call in on a visiting niece and her family, but we have no desire to drive through the storm - the timeline has it hitting right when we’d be starting back home and following us the whole way.
 
So I managed to clean up the kitchen and made DH breakfast, but I am still low energy with this head cold. I can breathe a lot better today so that's progress. I am trying to get hungry since it's nearly 3pm and I haven't eaten yet today. Hoping tomorrow I am out of the woods.

Sounds like it was fast coming on so hopefully it’s fast going away!
 
I'd thought about going out to eat, just to get out of the house . Car has been crocked since the 17th February.
Eventually, I ordered a Chinese takeaway.
If you think that's easy peasy, you've never been to Caracas.
Pick the items off the menu. Eliminate the extras they added on for no reason. Send address. Send address again and include google map location. Confirm address. Fill out name, DOB, phone number, identity card number. Send method of payment (cash). Send photo of $50 bill. Argue about the change. Resend everything, including the name of my dog and my grandmother's hairdresser. Receive confirmation. Type in special access code (which I couldn't find). Relocate the website where I made my order (3 attempts). Confirm all previous data. Re-check order. Sit down exhausted.
Time for a stiff drink.
