Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
Today was a last breath of summer feel... warm... light breeze... humid... except for the acorns cracking under my feet trotting out to the greenhouse to open the vent for fresh air. Tomorrow the rains arrive with late day thunderstorms... by midweek October brings with it clearing skies and temperatures in the low 60’s... squirrels busily collecting nuts for their winter storage... geese beginning to fly in gaggles bracing for their flight to Canada (how I wish I could join them) leaves dancing in the breezes soon to flutter to the ground... autumn is upon us.
Last nights spatchcocked chicken hit the grates today with a satisfying hiss as the hubs stood watch... tomatoes roasted into jam in the afternoon graced our supper table along with eggplant and peppers soft and pliant from the oven. Mr Sam stood alongside patiently (many meows, begging and pawing) waiting for his plate... chicken his favorite. We ended with a disappointing fruit salad of empress plums (delicious) and white peaches (flavorless)... the plums have been consumed... the peaches may be headed for a dessert... they will surely need sweetening.
Last Thursday I wrenched my back (don’t ask how... I don’t know) a few really bad days later and I’m making slow progress (back brace, gentle stretching and hot showers) standing is finally somewhat comfortable... thank goodness... cause cooking means standing... and cooking is my go to for relaxation...
We have a grim milestone ahead... we are about to grieve the loss of one millions souls to covid worldwide. One in thirty three have perished from this pandemic... and yet there is no end in sight... tomorrow we hear from the two people who wish to guide us into the next years... much is riding on the outcome. Tune in... make a plan... vote...
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
