Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
Today was errand day... running here, there and everywhere... trying to get it all done before the weekend... bank, post office and finally the market...
It’s almost autumn here in the Big Ripe Apple and that means APPLES...
Fall in NYC is awash with all varieties of crisp apples from the tart Granny Smith to the sweet Honey Crisp and everything in between. Score at the market today... 5 pound bags of damaged and bruised apples for $1.99... how could anyone resist? So, of course, I bought 20 pounds of apples... eeeek... as I sit here typing there is a big 8 quart pot of applesauce puck puck pucking away on the stove as well as a huuuuge apple crisp baking in the oven (Thanks Ina Garten ❤️) It’s divine... the smell of fall wafting across my nose as the applesauce caramelizes and the crisp bubbles.
The weather was bright cheerful and chilly today under blue skies after a deluge last night that brought more than 3 inches of rain to the metropolitan area... I wish I could send it west over to Colorado, California and Oregon where the world is burning 🥵 and people are terrified...
Simple supper tonite of grilled kielbasa, pickled onions, homemade pickles, roasted fennel and tomatoes, fresh greenhouse tomatoes with basil, cheddar jack, and warm cornbread...
What is it about cooking at 2 am? It’s quiet... no one is up... just me and my kitchen quietly creative in the stillness...
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
