Pernil, Red Cabbage and Carrot Slaw and Soft Poppy Seed Kaiser Rolls

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

Today the temperatures plummeted into the mid 60’s...  the smoke from the fires out west slowly drifting across the country and leaving a haze over NY skies.  Luckily the greenhouse door and vent are closed so the temps inside climbed into the mid 70’s...  tonite will be a cold one...  thermometer and incandescent light bulb keeping the temps above 62°F...  just enough to keep the tomatoes and cukes comfie.  


The next couple of days will be warmer...  but by the end of the week the nights will dip into the 50’s.  It’s time to give the greenhouse a blankie...  the hubs is already concocting a plan...  I can’t wait to see what his imagination dreams up...  I’m sure it’ll be incredible.


The new cabinet arrived today...  it’s 12” wide...  12” deep and 72” tall.  I’m calling it the pandemic cabinet...  it’s going to relieve the dining room from its current state of storage bin for all the additional supplies we have purchased for cleaning...  masking up...  gloves... hand sanitizer...  peroxide and of course... bleach.  Of course you KNOW I’m also going to store non perishables inside as well.  I’m thinking of making it into a baking cabinet for all the flours, sugars, chocolates and accompaniments needed for my “projects” as the hubs likes to call them.  It arrived flat packed...  thank goodness the hubs is handy...  the instructions we so muddled... some of the drawings were inside down...  but he managed to put it together in record time...  so pleased.  


Tonite was leftover pernil with red cabbage slaw, tomato jam and soft poppy seed Kaiser rolls followed by summer fruit salad with lime juice squeezed over the top and chocolate chocolate chip cream cheese cookies (just one each 😩).  After installing the cabinet...  we were HUNGRY for sure! 

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