Did my first pressure Cooking experiment today with some tenderstem broccoli. Tried the famous 0-minute technique and tbh it was undercooked! Question is, next time do we cook for longer? Cook on a higher pressure? Cook less broccoli? Or vent slower? So many options, so little broccoli to experiment

For my 59th birthday next month I've been considering treating myself to a pressure cooker. But I can't decide if I'm ready for the pressure of owning and using a pressure cooker

Trying to get into a habit of going swimming with the baby every Friday afternoon - aiming for between 2-4 ISH
Baby's nap was "scheduled"/"expected" for 2... Didn't go to sleep until 2:45... And currently still asleep
So week 2 and it's already over

The best kind of new year countdown is counting down the max amount of sleep your baby will get before they're inevitably woken up again. We're down to 28 minutes max

One thing I'm not looking forward to is navigating playgrounds/toys with a toddler. My instinct is to make myself as small and polite as possible but I don't want that for my future toddler

If I happened to run 13km on Christmas day for the last 2 years, did that mean I have to do it again?

I'm gonna say it - white eggs are superior to brown eggs on every measurable metric. The way my eyes light up when you check the carton and it's gonna be a 5 star egg week

It's actually pretty shocking how, until recently, no one with a platform made the point of how ridiculous it is to think that v wealthy ppl would completely upend their lives just cause they'd be made to pay 2% of their vast wealth,which they can't use anyway (as they have more than they can spend)

I recently bought a snapdragon surface and (while loving it) am shocked at just how hard the sell is for office subscriptions. Ads on the top of outlook?

I am struggling to figure out a fitness regime post baby - I used to go to the gym for 6 Mon/Tue/Thur/Fri and right now I'm just so tired! Even if the baby has woken up for a change just before I would wake up anyway, I just want to sleep 😴 but it's not like it was ever easy getting up for the gym

Best sleep I've had for a while and my Garmin thinks I slept for 43 minutes and gave me a score of 23! I wish I could press a "I'm going to sleep now, track this" button
