I tried the tomato pie recipe; it was off-the-charts delicious! Thank you for posting these culinary extravaganzas to brighten the long days of covid.

It is a terrible thing to be laughing while reading a blog about having Shingles, especially since I’ve had them three times (twice before the first vaccine was developed, and once years later, the same day I filled the prescription for the first shot of the new vaccine). The fatigue and general malaise was a real puzzle to me, until I realize that duh, i had a virus. The very painful rash is just a symptom, like caughing/sore throat/fever is with the flu or a cold. I hope you are starting to feel much better! Thanks for the very yummy sounding recipe.

Oh dear Pam, How awful- that nerve pain and and the fatigue is debikitating. The antibiotics will help a lot. I had it twice —you are a reminder to me to go get the follow-up shot next week!!! Take care and rest up- it gets better, ds xo PS Tomatoe pie sounds wonderful

Pam – very sorry to hear you have shingles and I’m sure it’s painful
I had a very mild case last year and got the medication immediately and was more fortunate than most people I know who have had shingles
I did get the first vaccine shot and postponed the second shot when the pandemic struck
Now I will remember to get that second shot ASAP!
Thanks for the posts which I always love reading and the wonderful photos and recipes.
Hope you feel better soon
Marg
