Vegetable Barley Soup with Savory and Spicy Sausage

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

The sun finally showed her shining face...   bright skies...  crisp air...  temps in the low 40’s...  light breeze...  took a drive with the hubs...  enjoying the day...  a slow walk around the outside of the house afterward...  brace holding the knee steady...  walking stick in hand...  up the steps one at a time...  carefully making progress.  


Still decluttering...  sorting through cookbooks...  giving away a few (posted here on NYTCC for first dibs) to be perused by new eyes...  glad to share.  


This mornings coffee meeting...  indecisive...  neither of us sure about supper.  Afternoon tea changed little...  both feeling the food blahs.  Finally supper time approaching...   decided on vegetable barley soup with sliced sausage...  one savory...  one spicy.   Running out of greens...  had a bit of extra romaine...  chopped it into the soup...  worked well alongside the onion...  dark red kidney beans...  carrot...  Penzey’s Fox Point spice mix... white wine and vegetable stock.


Covid spreading like wildfire...  over 2 million dead worldwide...  the pandemic is growing...  vaccine 💉 roll out has been spotty...  too many bumps in the road...  pandemic fatigue setting in...  don’t succumb...   you know what to do...  mask up...  don’t socialize indoors with folks without masks...  limit personal interactions...  and wash those germy hands 😷💕

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