Today it was time to try something new... roasting a whole chicken is a favorite supper and tonite it was made even more luscious by stuffing the bird with a quartered lemon dipped in salt... and rubbing the skin with a thin coating of bacon fat prior to seasoning with salt & pepper, Penzy's poultry seasoning and ground sumac berries. The skin crisped up beautifully and the fat made the chicken taste decadent. Served alongside roasted Brussels sprouts & broccoli... paired with Trapiche Malbec for a delightful dinner.
Dessert were mini cinnamon buns baked while we enjoyed our supper. The hubs had his coffee alongside...
Today was book delivery day. Mom almost finished her last book and so around 10pm when all are asleep in at Mom's, the hubs and I took a quick drive over in the car... while I ran up to leave her books just inside the door to her apartment to surprise her in the morning, the hubs kept an eye on the car. We were there and back in under 30 minutes and Mom will be thrilled in the morning to have five new novels to take up her days.
The weather was chilly today... high was only around 60°F... a sharp drop from Sunday's stunning 80°F day... but the sun winked at us from behind partial clouds, letting us know that warmer days are ahead. As we watch the number of cases decline in the NYC area and climb in and around the U.S. we feel for those families who may experience the loss that we have experienced here. We hope that everyone stays safe and healthy throughout this crisis...
How was your day? And what's on your plate? (Photos welcomed and appreciated)
