The Susanne

So I’ve been quite cocky regard­ing the pan­demic, going on and on about how I’ve most likely already been exposed and didn’t catch it so I’m def­in­itely not going to become ill now. Well. I have to eat my words as I am cur­rently in bed for the sixth con­sec­ut­ive day with flu-​like symp­toms: fever, muscle aches (my skin hurts!) and extreme fatigue. I’ve no way of know­ing for sure if I have it as doc­tors want you nowhere near their offices if you think you might have the swine flu… So I’m just stuck at home for the pre­scribed seven days and I am going  stir crazy to the extreme! I’ve no energy to really do any­thing and I can’t go out and see my friends. I can’t even allow them to come over as that would mean expos­ing them to the ill­ness. It sucks!

But I’m not too ill to watch tv (or stream tv shows online as I had to get rind of my tv in favour of a new book­case a few months ago…) and I’ve now gone through all of Hell’s Kit­chen, The F Word and Kit­chen Night­mares. For the third time. Yep. But it’s still fun and it still leaves me ver­it­ably itch­ing to get back in the kit­chen. I’ve really no energy for cook­ing but the other day I felt better and I made a lovely and extremely simple spa­ghetti with wild mush­rooms and black truffle oil. it was abso­lutely deli­cious! Also I’ve got some food left from before I became ill which I made fol­low­ing my dinner with Cecilie’s par­ents at D/S Louise, where Cecile and I shared an appet­izer of Skagen salad and caplin caviar. I abso­lutely loved it and hur­ried to recre­ate it at home. Of course I’m too ill to make del­ic­ate little hors d’æuvres so I just had it as a sand­wich. But it still tasted fant­astic. Am plan­ning to make it tomor­row (the proper, del­ic­ate ver­sion!) for Johanne’s birth­day dinner (if my tem­per­at­ure is down to normal that is!) I’m so so so excited!

So now all I have to do is get well by tomor­row. Because there’s no way I’m miss­ing out on one of my dearest friends’ thir­ti­eth birth­day! HAPPY BIRTH­DAY MY DARLING!!!
