Wednesday the 2nd: Puzzles and recovery

 *The Husband caught Covid on the way home. The Son and I tested negative twice; we did have varying symptoms but apparently not enough of a viral load to cause problems. We did wear masks for two weeks and stayed home as much as possible.

*That gave us time to finish our puzzle of the astronomical clock in Prague; we are now taking a puzzle break to play Ticket to Ride before we get another puzzle ready to go.

*While sick I pulled on all the menus I know to make almost automatically, using up lots of supplies at home so we could go to the store as minimally as possible. One meal that I forget that I know how to make is fettuccine Alfredo; we make this recipe every Christmas Eve, and I am the official sauce maker. It's very simple: one cup half and half, one stick butter, and almost 8 ounces of Parmesan. The trick is getting everything to emulsify together; sometimes it's great and sometimes it breaks, but it still tastes wonderful. I like some fresh black pepper on mine.
