Tom Turkey & Our American Family

Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
Today was another bright sunny day... temperatures in the high seventies and humidity in the "feelin' dry and comfie" range.  Skies were blue with few clouds and there was a gentle breeze softly caressing the trees.

Today was the big day... the Big Apple has officially entered phase 1...  some 400,000 people were able to return to their jobs today with stores opening for curbside pickup and construction resuming...   there was palpable excitement as Governor Cuomo announced that, "we didn't just flatten the curve... we smashed it!"

Now comes the hard work of keeping the pandemic from rearing its ugly head once again as we all try to resume some part of our lives, wearing masks when needed and social distancing as well.

We celebrated by having the family together (socially distant) out on the deck for supper.  Danicha made a delicious appetizer of shrimp salad stuffed avocado halves...mmmm 😋 so creamy.  A young turkey graced our table alongside roasted broccoli, sautéed corn and peas topped with grated ricotta salata and a crisp green salad.  A rich mango gelato (also courtesy of Danicha & Eduardo) with a few Milano cookies and Dove chocolates served alongside coffee and espresso finished up the meal.

After supper we relaxed with a fire... discussing the state of affairs in the White House, the issues of race relations in America and our worries over Covid19.  We are Jewish... .Catholic...  Puerto Rican... .Chilean... .White...  Brown...  we are an American family 💞
How was your day? What's on your plate? Any thoughts to share?
