Such bad luck. We are 47 people, ages 4 to 93. Some came from Beijing and Taipei. Others from all over the US. It is our largest reunion so far and it is truly wonderful to be together. We are celebrating my mom's cousin's 80th birthday tonight!
So far, 7 of us (including Ruby) have succumbed. Some had to go to the ER, others got off more lightly. It's been hardest for the youngest kids, who had so looked forward to being together, but instead, have been quarantined. We are trying our best to keep the older generation healthy. We are armed with wipes, bleach, gloves, and anti-nausea medication.
It's challenging, as we are self-catering breakfast and lunch. As with any respectable Chinese family, every meal includes ample amounts of Chinese and Western food.
Just for example, today's breakfast:
French toast casserole, crepes (with berries, Nutella, whipped cream, maple syrup), toast, yogurt, granola, bacon, sausage, peach cobbler, peach pie, cold noodles with cucumber (with hot sauce), rice gruel (with ginger sauce), shredded chicken and scallions, sliced cold beef, tea eggs, coffee, and juice. I'm sure I left a few things out.
Fingers crossed that we four will make our red eye tomorrow night to NYC. We are SO ready to be home.
