Day 3. Wheat Porridge
Today was a day, when I committed myself to at least try cooking (since I hate cooking and everything connected to it, it was quite a stretch). So, today Anya was showing me how to cook wheat porridge (don’t laugh, it’s hard for me still!). I wrote down notes, steps “how to reproduce the cooking”, made some photos. Tomorrow will be showtime day, where I will be trying to do it myself! But that’s tomorrow. Since I’m writing this, I will first add the notes “as is”, and then translate to my best ability and with some help, since I don’t know those kitchen-related words all that well.
As Is version:
1) маленькая кастрюля
2) rye flour box (currently)
3) мерная баночка, ситечко
4) насыпать фулл фулл баночку в ситечко над раковиной, промыть под водой (пол минуты)
5) набрать полторы баночки воды с под крана
6) высыпать кашу после воды в кастрюлю
7) поставить на нижнюю правую комфорку, помыть сразу ситочко
8) 1/2 teaspoon (tsp) соли и высыпать в кашу
9) накрыть крышкой наклонённной в бок, приподнятой, с дыркой
10) ждать пока каша закипит (вода начнёт булькать)
11) помешать с spatula пока вода выпарится +-
12) выключить огонь, кинуть кусок масла (как на картошку), (при необходимости попробовать и добавить соли), помешать, чтобы масло расстало, подавать.
Translated version:
1) small pot
2) rye flour box( currently) (the box that contains wheat porridge has the wrong label :( )
3) measuring cup, small strainer
4) fill the measuring cup to the brim, then rinse the porridge under tap water (half a minute)
5) gather 1.5 of measuring cups with water
6) pour out water, and then porridge into the pot
7) put the pot on right lower burner, wash the strainer right away
8) add 1/2 teaspon (tsp) of salt
9) cover with a lid, slanted to the site, not covering the pot completely
10) wait until water starts to boil
11) stir with a spatula until water boils
12) turn off the burner, add a bit of butter (the same amount as for mashed potatoes), (add more salt if needed), stir, until the butter has melted, serve.
Additionally, Anya bought Phasmophobia today, and we tried it. Played one game without the tutorial, then at first nothing was happening. Then somehow some monster attacked and chocked me to death. Then we went to a garage, Anya as a human, me as a ghost, and she died in there too. We played though the tutorial in parallel, but after that decided not to continue, since the game didn’t excite us enough, unfortunately. I was going into this with an open mind, even though I had some negative associations with the game, but alas. Well, at least we tried, and one more thing off the to-do list, I guess.
That’s all for today.
