Meatless Monday... Orecchiette with Roasted Tomatoes, Eggplant, Red Onions, Walnuts, Parsley and Parmesan



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

Bipolar weather today...  morning hours into early afternoon...  drizzle and mild...  3pm skies clearing...  bright blue sunshine... temperatures plunging wind howling....  Tuesday morning temps with wind chill...  single digits...  Squirrels out digging in moist ground...  searching for food in the early dampness...  midday...  scurring back to nests as wind and cold arrive.  March arriving like a lion 🦁 


Coffee ☕️ oatmeal with cinnamon and craisins...  banana snack by midday...  dinner chatter...  meatless monday...  the hubs acquiescing...   not thrilled...  he loves his pound of flesh...  but willing to try...  such a sweetie 🥰


In between appointments and paperwork...  snuck into the greenhouse today...  all quiet on the southern front.  Plants still mostly asleep...  thyme and rosemary both doing well...  collards growing a few new leaves...  carrot tops looking fuller...  gave everyone a good long drink and waved goodbye for now.  


Supper tonite...  fresh pasta...  orecchiette with roasted tomatoes, garlicy eggplant,  red onions...  walnuts...  parsley...  black pepper... olive oil and Parmesan...  indulgent...  flavorful.  Alongside a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and Wild Berry Zinger tea for the hubs.  Dessert...  Girl Scout cookies from Emily’s daughters troop...  so yummy 😋 


Taking Mom for her second vaccine 💉 dose Tuesday...  she is psyched!  More safety in her future...  able to finally see family again after these long months of isolation.  She sounded perky tonite during out evening phone chat...  so pleased for her...  looking forward to the warmer months to have her here for barbecues on the deck with the kids. 


J&J vaccines shipped out today to sites all over the US...  when you are eligible...  make that appointment and #GetYourJabOn...  we need to be all in on this to eradicate the variants and reclaim our freedom...  until then...  you know what to do...  double mask up...  zoom though the market...  limit all Interactions...  and wash those germy hands 💕😷

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