An indication of the level of executive function stupids I’m dealing with today:

I want to make some comfort food for supper, which originally calls for cream of mushroom soup (“our good old southern béchamel” 🙄) in the sauce. Which, these days, means making my own GF creamy sauce. Usually not a problem, besides kinda defeating the purpose of a shortcut ingredient. Not that much of a hassle, for something that tastes better.

(Recipe for assorted cream soup equivalents that work well substituting a GF flour, for anyone who might find it useful.)

If it’s going into another sauce, it’s usually easier just to incorporate those ingredients instead of making the “soup” separately.

This evening, though? Hahaha. Figuring out how best to accomplish that is enough of a holdup that I’m just going ahead and making it in a separate pan to add in like the canned stuff.

Also a decent example of how this crap can snowball and make everything else harder, but hey. At least I do know the words “executive function” and “burnout” now. Still frustrating, but at least I have some reasonable explanation and hopefully a little more patience now
