At least, that's how it feels.
Now that my husband has recovered from his head injury, while we were getting dumped on by a blizzard and he had to clear out the driveway four times he developed a fever and cough. I'm still coughing from whatever it is that I got, but I'm hoping not to get what he has so I'm keeping my distance. The youngerchild is recovering from pneumonia, the olderchild has a cold but is recovering, and I made chicken soup.
This is one of the things I tend to keep in the freezer - one bag with the carcass of some bird (today I used the chicken, but there is a turkey and a goose in there, too) and a separate bag of leftover meat. What I didn't have on hand was celery, and it took me an hour and a half to get some. First I went to the Whole Foods with their tiny parking lot that was backed up because people we waiting in line to park. I figured I did not need to wait in line for overpriced celery so I left and went to the market in the next town. By the time I got home, I'd spent 90 minutes running that particular errand.
The rest was easy - make a stock with the bones, thaw the meat, separately sauté the mirepoix and then put it all together with salt, pepper, thyme, and egg noodles.
Hopefully it makes everyone get better sooner!
