Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
Welcome back folks! Our delightful moderators had a well deserved weekend of rest and relaxation... we are thrilled to be back cooking and sharing with all of you fabulous foodies!
Today was a day of two seasons... the morning was cold... blustery... by afternoon the sun made her presence known... sliding out from behind her mask of clouds to grace the earth once again. Between clients... slipping into the greenhouse to enjoy the warmth and solitude... masked children on their way home from school... teachers looking worried... hustling toward parked cars... few bikers swishing by... leaves following in a burst of color.
NYers are nervous once more as covid stats deteriorate here in the Big Candied Apple... some neighborhoods shuttered once again... eyes behind masks dart from person to person... wondering...
The president returned to the White House under care for Covid-19... Americans... wondering...
This virus has clearly defeated all attempts to eradicate it... a vaccine in the future... will it be safe... wondering...
Too much uncertainty makes me uncomfortable... into the kitchen to relieve tension and prepare supper... Asparagus, Goat Cheese and Tarragon Tart by Melissa Clark... a delightful choice. As I prep the ingredients I realize I have no goat cheese... horrors 😳... no trip to the store last minute these days... subbing out cheddar and münster... adding in bacon... because, well... IT’S BACON 🥓 ... alongside a crisp green salad of romaine, radicchio, greenhouse fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, Kalamata olives and red onion with a light balsamic vinaigrette completed our repast. Dare I say it was delicious... wasn’t quite a meatless Monday... but close!
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
