Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
It was cool today... light jacket weather... the crisp feel of autumn on the wind. Folks hurrying along... shoulders hunched against the chill... scarves flapping as they walked to their cars after work. The days getting shorter... dark by 6:30pm here on the east coast... wasn’t it just a short while ago that it was bright until 9:30pm? ~sigh~ missing those long days of warmth and relaxation. The greenhouse was a refuge today... no chill winds inside... just the quiet calm and warmth of the sun captured within its walls.
Market day! Our local market has been renovating... new produce area... new flooring... new dairy reach in boxes... looks terrific. Today the produce manager wrapped up 5 lb bags each of... potatoes, tomatoes, squash, onions, peppers, parsnips.... and more... sold them for $1.99 per bag... a kid in a candy store wouldn’t have had more fun... came home with two bags of potatoes... two bags of plum tomatoes... a bag of onions... two bags of orange peppers... and a mixed bag of zucchini and parsnips... veggie heaven!!
Of course... supper had to be roasted tomatoes, peppers, potatoes and onions with our grilled spicy chicken breasts. Tomorrow will be a busy cooking day to prep much of the vegetation for jarring and storage. So excited!! Couldn’t resist such fabulous buys!
Covid dominates the news in the Big Apple... protests in hot zones... incredulous that folks forget the massive losses just six months ago...
NYC lost 24,000 citizens in under four months... mass graves... refrigerated trucks filled with bodies... ambulance sirens all day and night... I never want to live through that horror again... and yet... some seem to have amnesia 😳😢
Please stay safe and healthy... get a flu shot 💉... follow protocols and VOTE!
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
