Friday... the end of another week... visited the market today... excellent values... winter squash... baby carrots... potatoes... yams... plantains... a bonanza... planning to cook up a storm through the week ahead.
Today was chilly with a crisp fall feel... fallen leaves skittered across the sidewalk crunching underfoot walking to the car... the occasional crack of an acorn... a snare drum to the soft percussion of the leaves. The sun peeked in and out throughout the day... teasing with warmth then retreating behind the clouds denying us its splendid face. The greenhouse remained a warm refuge from the chill... plants relaxing within its walls.
A fresh porterhouse steak liberally seasoned hissed against the searing grates of the grill... cooked atop a sprig of fresh rosemary... as the hubs grilled our supper. Potatoes, peppers and brussels sprouts roasting in the oven lent a savory air to the kitchen... the avocado salad received its finishing touches of basil and balsamic.
A glass of wine toasted the end of the week as we sat down to eat... grateful for our food and safe place to wait out the pandemic.
The President has been taken to Walter Reed Medical Center as a result of his diagnosis of COVID-19... regardless of our opinion of his abilities as Commander in Chief or as a human being, we wish him & the First Lady recovery from this devestating disease...
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
