Breakfast Independence

Almost one month later and I'm able to make my first breakfast. Cooked that is. I've progressed from being served every meal, to being able to make coffee, to coffee & cold cereal. Today is my first "cooked for myself" meal. The pancake batter is a just add water mix that I favor. The thickness and lightness of the finished pancakes is controlled by the ratio of water to mix and amount of beating. The batter cooked up just the way I wanted. The water and beating were right on the first try.

To make breakfast I emptied the dishwasher, got the electric grill and a mixing bowl out, made the batter and set out a plate and silverware for myself. When I was done everything that should went in the dishwasher. Of course there's no free lunch (or breakfast). The whole process took me about 2½ or 3 hours, normally it would have been forty minutes or so. And when I finished I needed a three hour nap to recuperate. Definitely need to regain some stamina. Making breakfast shouldn't put me to sleep or take so long.
