Today was cool and sunny... the skies were bright and cheerful as the sun reminded us that life continues despite the pandemic... morning coffee was a breezy affair on the deck with the hubs... tending to tomato plants that have suffered severely as a result of the recent cold snap. It appears some of them have not survived... the squirrels have been no help, digging in the planters for nuts that aren't there and uprooting young seedlings trying to survive the chill.
It was cool enough tonite for stuffed cabbage and the warm aromas drifting from the pot simmering on the stovetop tickled the nose and spurred the appetite. Leftover cabbage leaves and rice made a lovely dolma, slow simmered in olive oil and water while everything else cooked. Mr Sam 😺 wandered around the kitchen watching the food and making sure there were no mistakes (he is a terrific supervisor) A few days ago my 1 lb bag of instant yeast finally arrived. Last night before bed it was time to make bread. The no knead dough mixed quickly by hand just before bed sat on the kitchen table overnight and into the afternoon for its long rise. Two loaves of crusty yummy bread were the result. Our opened bottle of Sauvignon Blanc accompanied the meal nicely.
How was your day? What are you drinking? And what's on your plate? (Photos welcomed and appreciated)
