2/ I cooked one chopped red onion, 3 potatoes, and 8 ears of 🌽 kernels and 4 cloves of garlic in olive oil for about 10 minutes. I left out the 2 capsicums and 2 celeries the recipe asked for because I am picky and I hate capsicum and celery.
3/ I then added 4 cups of stock, 2 cups of water, 1/4t hot chilli powder and 1/4t chipotle (recipe wanted a poblano pepper but I couldn’t find). Added a bay leaf (fresh but apparently they have no flavour until you dry them- my bad) and a bit more salt and pepper. Simmer 25 min.
4/ these are my bay trees. I have since been told I have to cut off a branch and let the leaves dry out for 1-2 weeks before they will add any flavour. Now I know. Thanks Jennifer Rosen. (Not on Twitter)
5/ after simmering, transfer about half to another pot, blend, and add a good knob of butter. Then combine back with the other half so some is blendy and some has intact corn kernels and potato chunks.
6/ I then added a bunch of chopped coriander, 1/3c of plain yoghurt (or shoot cream or creme fraiche) and juice of half a lime. Salt and pepper to taste and more 🌶 if you like it hot.
7/ I topped it with fresh chives, coriander, grated cheddar, and a little red pepper.

Review: 6/10. Tasty but not my fave. A little meh. Maybe omitting the capsicum and celery was a fatal flaw? May try adding shredded chicken and maybe a splash of soy sauce and a bit o ginger.

I still have hope we are not broken.
Solidarity to my medical and nursing brothers and sisters doing the heavy lifting here. Poignant message below from a doc who wishes to remain anonymous:

We wanted to help people
We were smart and driven
We loved science and physiology,
2/9
We loved humans and disease
So we made a commitment
We signed up
It was an honor
We read thousands of pages
Attended hundreds of lectures
Pulled all-nighters
Took more exams than we thought possible
Finals week felt insurmountable
But it didn’t break us
It made us stronger
3/9
We learned statistics and biochemistry
Immunology and pathophysiology
We mastered genetics, virology and pharmacology
We read scientific papers and learned how to dissect them
Scientific papers, not YouTube videos
It was an honor
We came running when you needed us

Hey @GladysB: Doherty modelling re: opening up with 70-80% fully vaxed is predicated on low case numbers.

Will not work as planned with daily cases in the 100’s. Can’t vax our way out of this without getting cases down unless we are happy for ++ deaths & kids with long covid.
Nobody buys the “we didn’t realize delta was so different.” You knew. See India travel ban. So sick of the spin.

Your stated reason for not locking down early was to “not inconvenience” Sydneysiders. How’s that working out?
Gladys, you spent so much energy demonising Victoria last year, it was impossible to learn from Vic’s painful experience.

Shame. This is not leadership. This is short-sighted lack of vision. Lack of perspective. You gambled and we all lost.

There are actually adult humans comparing being told to stay home, watch tv, and collect job keeper payments during a pandemic to being imprisoned, starved, tortured, and gassed in a Nazi concentration camp. Please. Just stop.
1/
Restricting public movement during a pandemic is a temporary measure to protect you, not a human rights violation. It is difficult, costly, and lonely, yes. But people saying these things have clearly never endured actual human rights violations. 2/
If you are really concerned with human rights, contact your local MP and ask why Priya, Nados, and their two little girls have been two yrs imprisoned on Christmas Island instead of working in their Biloela community where they belong. Have you complained about that? 3/

The dreaded call came at 6 am yesterday. Health Dept contact tracers. 1/
“We have determined that you are a close contact of someone who has tested positive for Covid-19. You need to isolate for 14 days from the day you were exposed. You need to get tested on day 11. We will call you every day to see if you have developed symptoms.” 2/
It was a patient who came to see me for a minor office procedure. A few hours later she developed a fever and turned out to be part of a family cluster.

Luckily I hadn’t gone anywhere over the weekend, so won’t have exposed anyone outside potentially my family. I feel fine. 3/
