Seared Pork Chops with Mashed Yams and Green Beans

 Quarantine supper tonite...  live from NYC...

Vanilla skies...  almost 50°F today...  spring feel in the air...  deep winter on the horizon...  squirrels out enjoying the warmth...  Mr Sam on the deck soaking up the sun...  greenhouse warm and snug...  plants thriving through  the Persephone phase...  hawk circling overhead...  lifted on thermals.


Following our supper discussion at coffee...  pork chops on the menu...  seared in the cast iron with olive oil, salt & pepper and Penzey’s Pasta Sprinkle...  delicious sauce made from last weeks beef stew...  with wine...  sweet potatoes mashed with butter and cinnamon...  steamed green beans rounding out the plate.  The hubs was happy...   meat and potatoes...  his favorite!  Mandarins for dessert and a glass of Cabernet to compliment the meal 🍷 


The hubs is doing well...  able to bend the knee part way with minimal discomfort...  stairs still a challenge...  one at a time with brace support and balance enhanced from his Boy Scout carved totem...  just the right height for him as an adult.  


Too many are leaving us due to covid...   the virus is spreading faster than ever...  hospitalizations and death rates soaring...   you know what to do...  mask up...  zoom with friends and colleagues...  leave treats on the stoop...  wave and blow air kisses from the curb...  and wash those germy hands 😷💕

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