Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls and Winter White Bean and Sausage Soup

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

Extreme cold accompanied by endless blue skies...  whipping winds...  house creaking and groaning...  window panes vibrating...  tree branches flailing their naked arms.  


Quick coffee ☕️ and oatmeal with craisins before taking the hubs to physical therapy...  too cold to run errands...  returned home to chores and plant care before pick up time...  hubs had an excellent work out... lots of stretching and muscle building...  a bit sore...  but pleased.  Had tea and discussions for supper...  the deep cold veered us hard into stew and soup territory.


Made whole wheat dough last Saturday...  spent six days fermenting in the fridge...  tonite part became whole wheat dinner rolls to accompany our Winter White Bean and Sausage Soup.  This was the first try with whole wheat flour...  pleased with the results...  nutty...  a bit of tang... made for a lovely somewhat firmer dinner roll...  perfect for sopping up hot soup 🍜 


Covid still keeping part of our family in its tight little grip...  both husband and wife exhausted but seeming to inch closer to recovering each day...  pins and needles...  while we wait.  A tough road to travel.


Different strains of the virus giving the US more virulent challenges...  you know what to do...  double mask up...  limit interpersonal interactions...  short trips to the market... and wash those germy hands 💕😷

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