Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
A mild fall day... the sun dominated the skies with her brilliance allowing the trees a chance to once again bask in her warmth... squirrels chased one another up and down the trunks chattering... tails flicking... Mr Sam, lying on his side enjoying the heat of the warm boards, watched in fascination as they raced across the far end of the deck... to lazy to get up and give pursuit... his eyes traced their movements.
Puttering around the greenhouse... picking a few ripe tomatoes here and there... the last of the cucumbers ripening... a mere six weeks left before the Persephone phase arrives when there will be less than ten hours of sunlight each day and plant growth virtually stops. The last planting of radishes and spinach will happen tomorrow to harvest before the darkness of winter arrives.
Covid has once again grasped the Big Apple... schools across parts of the city closing... hot spots being ground to a halt in an effort to stem the tide of infections... trick or treat on hold... it’s going to be a long dark winter.
If you have not yet taken your flu shot... please do so... in NYC flu shots are available free at all pharmacies for everyone including kids ❤️ I got mine... you? 💉
In between playing in the greenhouse... took time today to make tiramisu... one of my most favorite desserts (special thanks to Elsa Lisciandro for the excellent recipe) chopped beets and butternut squash for roasting, baked candied plantains in orange marmalade and turkey meatballs with Parmesan... supper was an interesting melange of flavors and colors...
fall on a plate.
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
