Roasted Chicken Thighs with Broccoli and Red and Sweet Potato Wedges & Fruit Plate of Mango, Grapefruit, Mandarin and Blueberries

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

Cloudy morning...   brief snow flurry...  afternoon peeks of sun...  clear cold night...  weather resembling a tasting menu...  some of this...  a bite of that...  squirrels confused...  coming out to search for nuts only to be caught in flurries which disappeared after only five minutes.  


Coffee meeting held a unanimous vote for dinner on a plate...  no soup tonite...  chicken thighs...  roasted veggies please and thank you.  Late afternoon tea meeting...  hubs had his first physical therapy appointment and evaluation...  went very well.  PT twice a week for twelve weeks to increase range of motion... strengthen and restore muscle function and improve balance.  Tea upon our return...  extensive discussions of dessert in the coming days...  cream puffs?   lemon mousse?  pie?   decisions...  decisions. 


Supper tonite roasted in the oven...  chicken thighs with olive oil...  Penzey’s poultry seasoning...  paprika...  turmeric...  garlic...  onion... salt and pepper...  broccoli...  red and sweet potato wedges.   Fruit plate of grapefruit... mango...  mandarin and blueberries for dessert.  Served alongside our favorite Sauvignon Blanc...  Line 39...   dinner shared over a WhatsApp call with our dear Andrea...  A stick of butter on the counter along with a packet of Knox gelatin...  and a box of vanilla pudding...  haven’t decided what to make yet...  thinking...  there’s cream in the fridge and lemon curd too...  hmmmmm... 


Tomorrow is Inauguration Day...  a new administration comes to America...  hoping the vaccine supplies improve...  Mom needs her shot and so does the hubs (and me too 😁)  This pandemic needs serious attention and a national plan to help citizens stay safe and healthy.  In the interim...  you know what to do...  mask up...  blow kisses from inside the car...  wave excitedly from the sidewalk...  leave goodies on the stoop...  and wash those germy hands 😷💕

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