Hi Dale,

 DS> We have not really been too close to groups of people, but Gail woke
 DS> up with a sore throat -- and then tested positive for Covid. I tested
 DS> negative, but expect that by tomorrow I'll be positive.  The result is

 DS> Day 2, I tested positive.  I was sure that I would.  Neither of us
 DS> have had really critical symptoms.  Gail has had a bit of diarea -- a
 DS> listed side effect of the special medicine doctor gave her.  My legs
 DS> wobbly than usual.

Not fun, hopefully it's a light case for both of you.


 RH> Ouch! Hopefully you'll both get over it fast. I know you had the
 RH> initial shots; did they come around with boosters? When I checked in at

 DS> We have had two initial shots and two booster shots.

I've had the 2 initial shots, one booster. Will be talking with my
primary care dr when I see him in Sept. about the need (yes or no) for a
second booster. So far we've avoided Covid but the bronchitis has been
worse for me this year. Now that we're home for a while, I should have
time enough to get fully rid of it.


 DS> that we are on quarantine for ten days.  Mail, prescriptions and food
 DS> will be delivered to the door.  Food is a selection from a limited
 DS> menu of about five things.

 RH> Do you have enough supplimental foods in your fridge and pantry to
 RH> round out what is furnished? Also, can you order in from outside and
 RH> have it delivered to the apartment? Some of the lock down rules may
 RH> work in small facilities but I can see the need for some flexibility in
 RH> a place the size of yours.

 DS> So far we have not seen the need to use any supplimental foods from
 DS> the frig or freeze.  The real problem is that our wake-up schedule
 DS> does not sync well with their times for giving dinner choices.

Sigh! I can understand the need for doing everything on a schedule in a
place that size but it's too bad they can't allow a few exceptions to
the rule.


 DS> These days, this recipe as stated makes more than four servings.  I'd
 DS> guess between six and eight.

I think we've all cut back on our eating. We did a bit of grocery
shopping Friday night and Saturday morning (Wegman's and farmer's
market). I think we'll be doing low fuss cooking for a bit longer,
probably a protein and fresh veggies that don't take a lot of work to
fix.

This does look good, and extras can be put into the freezer for quick
and easy meals. I'm going to work on going thru the stuff in the
freezer, hopefully a lot of easy meals will come from it. I do know we
have some racks of ribs--will probably pull one (maybe 2) out this week
and have Steve smoke it.
