We have been preparing for the hand surgery by getting some food into the freezer. Yesterday I got a deal on 11lbs of chicken breasts from a local poultry place. Today will be baking, slicing, and freezing for handy usage. So there's protein sorted. Usually at this time of year I am also processing pumpkin, but I just can't manage it with this hand. I am legitimately sad. Chopping up several pumpkins with a cleaver is great for dealing with stress and I could use that right now.
