Steak, Salad, Elote & Roasted Onions and Tomatoes

Quarantine supper tonite...   Live from NYC...
ITS FINISHED!!  Came back from a visit to the dentist (yuck!) and 💥POW💥
there it was...  our 1927 original clapboard and cedar shake house looking all fresh and new again (before and after photos attached) Time to celebrate!
Busted out the steaks for the grill...  let them sit on a sheet pan to thaw while  circling the house in amazement.

Weather was a dream today...  temps in the high 70’s...  low humidity...  tonight’s low will be 66°F...  feels like fall...  but don’t be fooled...  Sunday the heat and humidity will be roaring back and 90°F is forecasted...  

Our salad was capped off by delicious tomatoes from the greenhouse and basil tips from our monster plant...  trying to keep it sweet by pruning...
the hubs made elote on the grill...  swear I could eat just corn for supper when it’s made this way, right?  Medium rare steaks... caramelized onion and roasted tomato slices atop the steaks...  leftover tomato goat cheese tart...  and a glass of Pinot noir to round out the meal.

Watching President Obama last night brought back so many feelings...  America hasn’t had a statesman in the White House for over three years...
surprised at how much tone and words of leadership soothe the raw nerves...  so much to grieve now...  so many lives lost to COVID...  we have missed the kindness and gentleness of leadership at a time when it is badly needed...  Bush after 9/11...  Obama after Sandy...
How was your day?   What’s on your plate?   Thoughts?
