Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
Today was another cool blustery fall like day... bright blue skies graced the Big Windy Apple... the sun shining down in all her glory warming the greenhouse and our chilly souls.
Spent some time in with the vegetables today nipping off dead leaves... checking hydration... humidity... temperature. Using one light bulb in a reflector next to the tomato planters keeps them above  50°F at night... today was delightful and warm... a moth fluttered away each time another plant was examined... shy fellow. Incredibly... the cool nights (mid 40’s) and mild days (mid 60’s) tomatoes are still producing... beyond pleased with results thus far...
Researched cold weather growing... found many vegetables that love the winter... lettuces... cabbages... root veggies... peas... chard... parsley... thrilled to keep growing as long as possible.
Today’s dessert was a use up of nectarines in a delightful clafoutis by Julia Child (link: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/12688-julia-childs-berry-clafoutis) the custard was steeped in vanilla and we both found its perfume truly enhanced the dish (always make dessert first... right?)
Supper was another successful meatless Monday... roasted eggplant, peppers and cauliflower tossed with Cacio e Pepe (https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017304-cacio-e-pepe) delightful... no disagreement from the hubs this time... necessary after our grilled hamburger and chips meal last night... our son and a few of his friends spent the day disassembling a dead maple tree we had taken down on Saturday... they want the firewood... huge sawing job... three of them plus the hubs... 16 burgers later...
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts
