Grilled Za-tar Chicken Thighs, Grilled Peppers, Mushroom Stuffed Tomatoes & Baked Orange Marmalade Plantains

 Quarantine supper tonite...  Live from NYC...

Today was bright, sunny high of 72F...  light breeze...  perfect day for running errands and doing outdoor activities.  Tomatoes are ripening in the greenhouse slowly but surely as the days shorten and the temperatures slip into the 50’s at night.   


Five neighborhoods in NYC have seen a slight uptick in covid infections since Labor Day...  gives me the willies...  hoping the track and trace folks can get it under control.  Today’s awful milestone of 200,000 lost to the virus...  so many families...  such devestation...  our hearts ache for them.


Tonites supper...  (inspired by the NYTimes Middle Eastern Grilled Chicken Thighs) grilled za-tar chicken thighs with roasted peppers, mushroom stuffed roasted tomatoes and plantains baked in orange marmalade...  the counterpoint of the sweet plantains against the savory flavors of the chicken and tomato worked particularly well.  


Following our supper the hubs built a small fire in our fire pit...  we relaxed on the deck for an hour enjoying the warmth...  a delightful end to our day.

How was your day?   What’s on your plate?   Thoughts?
