Forced physical inactivity and limits are driving me nuts. At the very least I’d like to go back to baking. Just to be able to fucking do something. I’ve been so stressed since I hit my head

Lots of ways to adapt activities, no need to mentally suffer as well as physically. Could you use a box mix cake? Premade cookie dough? Lemonade scones are dead easy, few ingredients and very little physical effort.

I actually wanted to skill up on scratch cooking like pastry and maybe something like pelmeni. Those would keep me occupied.

I’m not sure if I can eat them though
