Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
Bright... sunny... a bit of a chill... mid 40’s today in the Big Apple. Watched two squirrels chase one another up and down the big oak tree... tails flicking... scampering around the trunk... up and down the branches... sparrows chirping loudly in the leaves... almost scolding... standing on the deck... scarf... jacket... gloves... enjoying the sun on my face... coffee in hand... steam rising against the blue sky.
Hubs got an A+ from his surgeon today... brace now set to bend 50%... physical therapy begins! Best oatmeal and craisins ever... celebratory brunch... needed some good news... for a change.
Had the desire to make yesterday’s beef stew today... a labor of love... five hours of browning... deglazing... simmering... adding flavors... came out fabulous! Bottom round roast... onions... garlic... celery... fresh greenhouse herbs... rosemary... sage... thyme... white wine... homemade mushroom stock (from the stuffed mushrooms this past week)... chicken stock... simmered long and low... carrots added 15 minutes before serving... last into the pot... crimini mushrooms sautéed in butter and olive oil... celery leaves to wilt... served over extra wide egg noodles... divine... and enough for at least one more meal.
America surpassed 4000 souls lost today due to Covid... the pandemic is raging out of control... PLEASE... take this seriously... you know what to do... mask up... wave from the curb... air kisses from far away... and wash those germy hands 💕😷
How was your day? What on your plate? Thoughts?
