Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
It’s debate night once again in America... just spent the last 90 minutes chuckling while a fly sat on the Vice President’s head... how can we be serious when a fly is taking up our attention??? Reminded me so much of the ad for the laundry detergent pen with the talking stain... all I could hear was bzzzzzz...
The weather in the Big Apple was reflective of tonites debate... strong winds followed by mid afternoon dusk and rain... I did see a fly sitting on the deck rail at one point... a prelude of things to come... he eventually was blown away.
This past weekend (when we were in the no posting zone) beef stew was on the menu... tender and moist with a fulsome gravy... crisp tender carrots... smooth baby Yukon gold potatoes... buttery crimini mushrooms... simmered low and slow on the cooktop while chores were done around the house. The hubs mounted our exterior up/down lights (came out perfect) and seeded the empty spaces where our tree once proudly stood.
Tonite that leftover beef stew became empañadas... shredded the meat... chopped the carrots and mushrooms... squished the potatoes... added cumin and marash red pepper flake for a little warmth and a poke of heat... and wrapped them in their blankets for a bake in a 350°F oven for about 25 minutes... had a few blankies left, so cheese empañadas accompanied the beef to the supper table... along with a crisp garden salad dressed lightly in balsamic vinaigrette... supper was served... and just in time too... finished off with a bit of tiramisu and voilà... it was debate time.
How was your day? What on your plate? Thoughts?
