Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
Gray skies lingered over the Big Apple today... drizzles... a chill wind... harbingers of what’s to come... early winter on the horizon... drenching rain in Eta’s path... flooding as she moves northeast... so quiet today... few people out and about... huddled into their coats... umbrellas into the wind shielding faces from driving rain... darting into the greenhouse... all is calm... the plants shielded from the weather breathing gently in the warmth... two 150 watt lights providing a bit of heat and light.
It was the perfect day for a bake... the container of ricotta staring back from inside the fridge... almond flour calling out from the freezer. With just enough time before class the batter got mixed and poured into a springform pan... slid into the oven... perfect timing.
My new baby arrived the other day (6 qt cast iron enameled dutch oven in Red) by Artisan Supply (Bed, Bath & Beyond’s in house brand) and today was the day to break it in... Winter White Bean and Spicy Sausage Soup... came together easily with even heating across the entire pot... a new experience for me... cooked with lower heat as the pot retains so much on its own... the concentric circles in the lid designed to self baste as it simmers... very pleased with it’s performance and value... bought one for Andrea in Denim Blue (her color choice)... she’ll love it!
Sad news on the covid front... America has exceeded 150,000 new cases in a single day... losing over 1400 souls just today 😢... we all know pandemic fatigue is upon us... we must hunker down a few more months while scientists continue their important work creating a vaccine to be available to us all sometime in late spring... stay alive... wear a mask... limit personal interactions... and wash those germy hands 💕😷
How was your day? What on your plate? Thoughts?
