Our weather has been so delightful on repeat the past three days. We are enjoying the break from soaring temperatures and stifling humidity. It will be back in force by weeks end and that's not a song I'm looking forward to singing.
Phase one has begun in NYC. The hubs returned to work part time today. Neither of us was psyched about it... but it is time to venture forth and peek out of the bubble into the rest of the world and see what life has become.
I am still working from home via video chat or phone calls... my kind of work (face to face interaction) won't resume until we reach phase 4... a looong way off.
When the hubs returned home he was stressed... not so much from the work... more the interactions with others who seemed cavalier about the risk of infection. It never ceases to amaze how folks can forget the horror here in NYC we all witnessed over the past three and a half months...
He scrubbed off in the shower and we shared a good stiff drink to wash away the days angst. There's nothing better than a plate of pasta with bolognese sauce after a hard day, covered with shredded cheese... it soothes the soul and fills the tummy. This one came out especially comforting... the sauce made with a whole carmelized vidalia onion, minced garlic, a splash of white wine, over a pound of ground sirloin, homegrown thyme and bay leaves, and a good shake of marash pepper. It had a nice kick without losing that deep tomato flavor.
Finished off the meal with a slice of almond lemon tart from last night and a coffee for the hubs...
How was your day? What's on your plate? Thoughts?
