Meatless Monday’s... Penne with Broccoli, Eggplant, Sautéed Mushrooms, Roasted Red Pepper and Romano Cheese & Refurbished Ladies Desk

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

Bright blue skies...  cold temperatures...  never got above 30°F...  brrrr...  

Varmint prints in the backyard snow... a possum or raccoon looking for a meal...  squirrel prints too...  their tiny paws barely making a dent.  Whatever remained on the ground has frozen solid since yesterdays storm...  bitter cold this morning...   18°F... 🥶


Hot coffee ☕️ oatmeal with cinnamon and craisins today...  getting back on track...  meatless Monday on the menu...  the hubs not thrilled but  acquiescent.  Mr Sam wobbling about the kitchen during our breakfast meeting...  the occasional meow contributing to the discussion.  He seems more energetic...  still unbalanced.  


The hubs spent the afternoon in his workshop...  brace on...  completing the refinishing of the ladies desk...  came out stunning...  he is becoming a master carpenter...  adding the wooden facia board beneath the keyhole...  sanding staining and waxing the entire piece...  so pleased with the results 🥰


Excellent family news...  DIL’s Dad coming home from hospital tomorrow ❤️ we are grateful beyond measure for the slow but steady improvement...  still needing supplemental oxygen...  but out of the woods.   Once again...  immense thankfulness and gratitude for all your positive thoughts...  prayers...  well wishes and good vibes...  YOU have made an enormous difference...  we will never forget ❤️❤️❤️


Supper tonite...  meatless Monday...  oven roasted eggplant and broccoli...  sautéed mushrooms in garlic and olive oil...  tossed with roasted red peppers arugula and penne in an olive oil black pepper grated Romano dressing...  so comforting on this bitter night. 


Tomorrow another storm approaches...  a wintry mix of snow and rain destined to be a messy day...  regardless...   taking Mom for her first vaccine 💉 She is excited...  as are we...  an end to the isolation on the horizon.


Covid variants are spreading fast... doubling every ten days...  please folks...  when your eligible schedule your job asap...  until then...  you know what to do...  double mask up...  shorten the time at the market...   limit personal interactions and wash those germy hands 😷💕

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