Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
Brisk... cold... bit of a wind... our local squirrel sat at the edge of the deck today munching her acorn finds... we recognize her now... her fluffy tail and bright black eyes... left little piles of shells behind... reminded me of the piles of needles left by the rabbits in Tucson after eating the prickly pear pads... like eating fish and spitting out the bones. Missed that trip this past year... missed the one to Estes too... and the one to NOLA for food surfing... two more day left of 2020... hoping 2021 is vastly better in all aspects.
The hubs is improving slowly but surely... almost no pain... some mild discomfort... it’s apparent when he tries to spend more time on his feet... leg swells from his brace constricting blood flow... soon as he elevates the legs... all returns to normal. So frustrating for him... being stuck on the couch.
Tonites supper... leftover rotisserie chicken in egg roll wrappers... so crunchy... alongside creamy white bean and arugula soup... warming... comforting... baked off the rest of the pizza dough tonite into a rosemary olive oil braid... snuck a tiny taste from the heel of the bread... it will be perfect for tomorrow’s dinner.
The new strain of Covid has arrived in the US and about 17 other countries... scientists estimate it is about 16X more contagious than the strain we have dealt with thus far... with approximately the same level of sickness and mortality. It is thought the vaccine will protect against this new strain as well. You know what to do... mask up... limit social interactions... and wash those germy hands.
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
