My wife and son have the virus (who knows maybe me too, but no symptoms). They have very different symptoms. My son can't taste much, but my wife can. She has been sick for over a week, and has had some rough days. Today, she requested that I make chicken and noodles. I started a thread about these a few years ago, and have mentioned them from time to time on the site.
In my neck of the woods this is Amish comfort food at its finest.
Made some noodles
Sauteed some veggies in butter, then made a roux. Potatoes simmering on the back burner, and some butter and milk on the grill.
Added the semi-dried noodles to the pot
The noodles further thicken the mixture as they absorb the liquid. A ladle of mashed potatoes, followed by a ladle of chicken and noodles over the top.
This meal takes me back to childhood every single time. Can't beat it on a chilly night when you are under the weather.
