Pork Chops, Eggplant with Balsamic Drizzle, Tomato Jam, Roasted Green Peppers, Red Cabbage Slaw and Citrus Plate

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

The last day of warm temps...  66°F...  mild afternoon...  jackets optional...  folks out biking 🚴 in shirtsleeves...  taking walks...  squirrels 🐿 racing across yards leaving little round holes where nuts 🌰 were buried...  tonite  35°F...  howling winds 💨 returning as the Lion 🦁 subdues the lamb 🐑 once again.  March known for extremes...  springlike in the northeast...  48” of snow expected in the Rockies...  if you live in Colorado... buckle up buttercup! 


Coffee ☕️ out on the deck...  glorious sunshine ☀️ warming the bones.  Mr Sam enjoying the heat stretching out across the deck boards.  The hubs enjoying a rare treat...  peanut butter and strawberry preserves on rye for breakfast...  savoring every bite.  A request for pork chops receiving 100% of aye votes.


The hubs off to physical therapy...  time to dash through the market...  groceries for Mom and fill-ins for us...  it’s a race...  getting through before PT is over and it’s time to collect the hubs...  one hour total including driving time...  10 minutes each way...  completed today... 0 minutes to spare 🚘 


Supper tonite...  pork chops in the cast iron...  dry salt brined 30 minutes prior to searing...  what a difference in moistness!  Thanks America’s Test Kitchen for the tip!  Roasted eggplant 🍆 with balsamic drizzle...  tomato 🍅 jam...  red cabbage slaw...  dessert... a palate cleansing citrus plate...  blood orange 🍊grapefruit and strawberries 🍓 


100 million doses of vaccine have been jabbed into arms 💉 as of today! 

We are on track to get all adults who want a vaccine to be able to #GetYourJabOn by the end of June 2021...  that will be a July 4th to celebrate...  when you are eligible sign up and be part of the solution...  until then...  you know what to do...   double mask up...  glide through the market...  limit all interactions and wash those germy hands 💕😷

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