81 days until spring.
The highly contagious Noravirus which is the leading cause of foodborne illness in the US has reached the highest levels for this time of year in more than 10 years. It causes an average of 900 deaths annually, mostly among the elderly, 109,000 hospitalizations and 19 to 21 million cases in the US each year. It's an illness that is "brief but fierce" Leafy vegetables, fresh fruits and shellfish are common sources of the outbreaks. Repeated handwashing with soap and water (hand sanitizer is not very effective against Noravirus) and avoiding people who are sick are the best defenses. Freezing food does not disable the virus. Cooking food can get rid of the virus; but lettuce is not cooked.
My husband's 2nd cousin will pick up groceries and my prescriptions today, take out the trash, make me sandwiches and work on my to-do list today.
Breakfast - PB&J sandwich
Lunch - Pizza Hut Personal Pan Pizza
Dessert/Snack - None
Dinner - Leftover pizza
What did you eat yesterday?

Glad I don't eat those foods even more then! The pizza you had sounds good. I had pizza hut too, but not a personal pizza.

@porwest Progresso Soup with a half pack of Ramen noodles added in. That's my favorite way to have soup.

Hope you have a good day and that the cousin gets a lot crossed your "to do" list.
After so many high calorie foods over the past week we decided to have a salad for dinner with grilled chicken.

She couldn't stay on Monday. She will work on my to-do list as the pork roast cooks on Wednesday. Have a good New Year's Eve.
