Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
HAPPY PI DAY!! 🥧
Blustery winds continuing to blow unabated here in the Big Windy Apple... creaking boards... groaning walls... the house yielding to the pressure of the oncoming blast... steam radiators singing... the chill penetrating windows and doors... the howling hurricane unceasing.
Coffee ☕️ with asparagus & gouda omelette for brunch... dinner discussion... salmon wins by a landslide. Off to Moms for our weekly grocery delivery and a few repairs by the hubs.
Arriving as she is having an early supper... enjoying a crisp salad and full plate of salmon, veggies and farro... her sweet aide eating with her. While the hubs is repairing... we three chatted as they ate... waiting until she was almost finished... came the announcement, “TODAY is the day” Confused she glanced up, “For what?” “A hug” was the reply... she beamed... “one for each month we missed... when you are ready”
After her supper we sat and talked for a while... finally she stood up and we embraced... a good long hug for each of us... and a final one before we left... first time in a year... our weekly visits had been warm and loving but without the ability to touch one another. Today that finally ended 🥰
Coming back late to the house our supper needing attention... the hubs knee a bit sore from repair work at Mom’s... resting up while dinner got underway. Oven roasted salmon with Olde Bay Seasoning... glazed plantains... tomato, cucumber, red onion and avocado salad with lime and olive oil... a silky Cabernet... for dessert a Derby Pie for Pi day 🥧 with decaf coffee for the hubs.
NYC has a new covid variant spreading rapidly throughout the five boroughs... more contagious and more virulent than original covid... this is not the time for ditching precautions... we are so close to ending this scourge... we need everyone to keep doing those things that keep us all safe... even when vaccinated... mask up in public... sail through the market... limit public interactions... and wash those germy hands 💕😷
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
