Baked Penne

Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
First...  apologies for the photo... we were very hungry tonite and I forgot to take a photo before we ate... it was a pretty baked penne prior to our full on assault!!  Layered pasta mixed with some sauce on the bottom... layer of ricotta above then covered with remaining sauce and a nice layer of shredded Parmesan...  top was crunchy and cheesy... middle was pillowey and soft and the bottom was perfectly al dente.  It was a lovely supper following our wine on the deck with Mr Sam.

Today was cool and delightful...  temperatures stayed in the mid to high seventies and the humidity disappeared...  I was able to sit in the sun outside with Mr Sam between appointments in the early afternoon and enjoy the feel of warmth on my skin without becoming overheated.  What a blessing for a mid July day... enjoyed it thoroughly since the heat is ON for the next week into the 90's and muggy...

The hubs spray painted our new screen door green today to match the color of the greenhouse.  It looks excellent and lets the insects and breezes flow freely keeping the interior fresh and airy.  Tomorrow we plan to build a low bench to house the vegetable containers keeping them a bit off the deck for easier access.  We have a bunch of scrap wood to use...  looking forward to the results.

We nervously watch the news as the COVID crisis spreads like wildfire through our country and the world.  We hope that people come together to protect one another in this time of disease and fear...  please stay safe... wear a mask in public... take precautions 💞
How was your day?  What on your plate?  Thoughts?
