And it rained... and rained... and the clouds shook with the crack of thunder and the lightening ripped across the skies... the humidity soared and the people perspired (sorry, I sweat... especially in the kitchen) and the sun hid its shining face from the Big Apple...
Today was THAT day... ugh... thank goodness the temperatures didn't soar as well... apparently the rain accompanied by heavy cloud cover took care of keeping the heat away! Today was supposed to be food shopping but the heavy rains made the unpacking portion of the trip impossible and thus the food foray was postponed until tomorrow when the skies will be bright and the rains gone.
The hubs couldn't continue his projects today as the dampness makes floor polishing impossible and the rain wouldn't permit him to do anything outside... except possibly get drenched.
Thus there was time to fuss over supper... Cajun andouille with black beans, sautéed onions and garlic cooked in a crushed tomato white wine sauce... spicy, smokey, delicious... served alongside our favorite Line 39 Sauvignon Blanc... mine with a squeeze of cooling crema... the hubs with shredded cheese melted onto the top.
After supper the rains abated and we were able to finally get outside and take a quiet walk in our neighborhood (masks on) followed by the news... the coronavirus is now expected to claim 200,000 American lives by September... we are deeply concerned about our neighbors to the west... we have seen the dire consequences up close (too close) caused by this pandemic and don't want to see it play out anywhere else... please stay safe everyone... you all matter to us and we don't want to lose you 💞
How was your day? What's on your plate? Thoughts?
