Screen Doors, Pickled Tomatoes & Onions and Lemon Mousse

Quarantine activities of the day...  Live from NYC...
Excitement!  Today the hubs made a screen door for the greenhouse...  I am overjoyed... we need fresh air circulating and we need insects to pollinate our vegetables... but we DON'T need rocky the flying squirrel eating our produce!  He did such a fabulous job... looks perfect... fits like a glove... made the screening out of chicken wire so the holes are plenty big for bees and such...  but NOT for squirrels (no sharing this harvest season)

And so, while the screen door was hatching I pickled a few green tomatoes (from our plants) and a sliced red onion...  then made lemon mousse for dessert topped by shaved dark chocolate with cocoa nibs inside...  the mousse was tangy and acidic from the crème fraîche and the lemon...  the chocolate giving a pop of dark deliciousness to the light airy fluff.
How was your day?  Have any stories to tell?
