Chicken Soup and Queso Frito with Herbed Biscuits and Mandarins

 Quarantine supper tonite...  Live from NYC...

Blanket of clouds...  temps in the mid 40’s...  invisible sun...  chilly office...  squirrels leaving gifts on the front steps...  pile of shells...  little nibblers out and about searching for food...   no birds today...   asleep in their nests...  as the day waned the cloud cover thickened allowing the heat island to retain warmth...   tomorrow forecasted to approach  50°F...  woo hoo 😄


Worked on the puzzle late today...  a gift for the hubs...  helping finish the exterior border...  so difficult...  limited progress...  thoughts of supper floating...  chill weather seeping into bones...  soup on the menu.  


Homemade chicken stock...  onion...  garlic...  celery...   carrot...  bok choy...  fresh ginger...  Parmesan cheese rind...  white beans...  Yukon gold potatoes...   white wine...  salt & pepper...  ground rosemary...  sage leaves...  oregano...  thyme...  arugula and bok choy leaves wilted in off the heat before serving.   Fried queso frito a delicious salty crispy treat with herbed biscuits from last nights supper...   crisp Sauvignon Blanc rounded out the meal with mandarins for dessert.  


Covid stole more than 4300 souls today in America...  Vaccinations increasing...  still months to go...   UK strain now in more states and counties...  you know what to do...   mask up...   limit personal interactions...  and wash those germy hands 😷💕

How was your day?   What’s on your plate?   Thoughts?
