Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
Sunday... our day to visit Mom... the weather cooperated nicely... high 70’s... partly cloudy... a bit humid... but nice enough for Mom to have her best friend over in the early afternoon for a visit... they sat out on the balcony and chatted in the warm sun and delightful breeze. By the time we arrived in the mid afternoon she was in good spirits. We were thrilled to find out she has been having friends up to her apartment... sitting out on the balcony with her sliding glass doors open several times this past week and has plans to visit with a few more this coming week.
Although the ladies can’t yet play bridge, they can come together one on one and catch up. It’s been a long lonely spring and summer and with NYC covid stats remaining under 1% for the past couple of months Mom is slowly rebuilding her social network. We are so pleased to see her reaching out and having fun again.
By the time we headed home it was nearing supper time... we called our son and Andrea to see if they wanted to join us for dinner out. Instead they invited us to join them for shrimp tacos at their place. Delicious flavors of lime... sour cream... garlic... and scallions made a fabulous salsa verde mixed into a red cabbage slaw and spooned over the top of our tacos of grilled shrimp... slaw... queso fresco... and lime... the flavor combination was intoxicating... or was it the delightful wine... who knows??? Grilled asparagus and savory black beans simmered with bacon (OMG - double yum) as sides made the meal a huuuuge hit! Who knew that dinner would be so fabulous... two talented chefs!! One proud Mama!!
Our friends on the west coast are in dire straights tonite... we hope that Monday’s forecasted rain is enough to stop the spread of the wildfires and give firefighters the help they so desperately need... sending light and love to all in harms way 💞😷
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
