These look divine! Can’t wait to get back in my kitchen but am currently locked away in the spare bedroom (with bathroom privileges 🤣).

I travelled to Hobart last week to visit another son for his birthday. Always a delight to catch up with him, his wife and sons (18mo and 4yrs) - and doesn’t happen often enough due to distance (4-5 hours if the flight is direct).

Due to the inevitable flight changes and delays, both trips were 12 hours, via Melbourne and with waits in airports. Despite wearing masks most of the time, those little gaps for eating and drinking must have enabled a sneaky covid virus particle to aerosol in.

It’s the first time it’s got me 😞.

Just before the official pandemic, I had visited family in Europe and UK, returned Sept 2019 and developed pneumonia. It was horrible so I have tried really hard to avoid Covid, successfully so far- and I work in a hospital!

But with pneumonia, the only thing I could eat was homemade leek and potato soup (chicken stock, garden leek and thyme) - so I made a massive pot and froze in case I got covid. Oddly, I ate the last of that frozen soup last week, figuring it was well over time it got eaten.

And a day or so later- started coughing!

So now that I finally have succumbed to covid - no soup on the freezer 😭 😂.

Maybe I will see if my partner can follow your instructions with the chicken- he does his best but he’s an engineer not a chef 🤣

Ain’t it the way...
