Quarantine activities of the day... Live from NYC...
Snow melting... reminders of childhood snowmen shrinking in the sun... temps warming to 42°F amidst partly cloudy skies... birds celebrating in the branches... twittering... hopping about... squirrels madly searching among dripping snowmelt for buried goodies... fattening up for deep winter ahead... the end of early winter looming large in the rear view mirror.
Busy day... baking off the cookie doughs created yesterday afternoon. Delightful thyme lemon tea biscuits... recipe courtesy of John Barry Muscatello... aromatic with welcome notes of lemon. A holiday favorite... my Grandmother’s Almond Cookies... melt in the mouth almonds and butter with just a hint of salt... bringing back delicious memories of her fabulous baking... watching from a high stool as she talked through her process... I was entranced. Magic cookie bars... the original recipe from the can of Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk with 1/2 tsp cinnamon added into the graham cracker crust and a few extra chocolate chips atop... is there really such a thing as too much chocolate? I think not 🍫
Supper was quick and easy... burgers... Swiss cheese... sliced tomato... hot and spicy mustard... crema and arugula on a toasted sesame seed bun with a simple salad and the last of the open Cabernet... dessert... brew for the hubs with coffee cake for two.
Thin carefully about your plan for Christmas celebrations... if any... risk analysis... check the CDC website for tips on precautions and safety measures... and always... mask up... limit social interactions... and wash those germy hands 💕😷
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
