Teriyaki Chicken Kebabs, Avocado Tomato Cucumber Salad, Roasted Butternut Squash with Agave Nectar, Glazed Plantains & Citrus Plate

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

What a difference a day makes...  the big chill arriving...  last night temps dipped into the 30’s...  today never climbing above 50°F...  hats, scarves & gloves back from the closet...  winds nipping at ears and fingers...  glad for the warmth of the mask. 


Driving to PT today...  the canopy of spring green trees covering the roadway...  dotted with hot pink cherry trees...  fuchsia magnolia blossoms ready to pop...  a bright pink apple tree... it’s flowers looking like thousands of pink butterflies landed on its branches...  all among the bright green tunnel of maple blossoms lining the drive... backlit by the afternoon sun...  stunning.


Coffee ☕️ and oatmeal with cinnamon and raisins...  chicken on the menu...  the hubs mentioning teriyaki...  after our chat it’s off to PT for the hubs.  Tax season has arrived...  least favorite chore...  hours of paperwork...  assembling receipts and records...  today sending Mom’s off to the accountant for filing...  our still awaiting completion.  


Supper tonite...  a happy distraction from the grind of taxes...  teriyaki chicken kebabs with garlic and ginger...  avocado 🥑 cucumber 🥒 tomato 🍅 salad with lime vinaigrette and parsley (cilantro = soap to me 😕) orange glazed plantains...  butternut squash roasted with agave nectar and a bright citrus plate of grapefruit, mandarin and tangelo 🍊An orange juice spritzer alongside...  dessert for the hubs... decaf coffee and the last of the scones.


We are heartbroken to learn of a dear friends father in the covid ICU tonite...  we are praying for his health to return as he struggles in the fight of his life.  


Vaccinations are available to all Americans aged 16 and up...  make that appointment and #GetYourJabOn   Feeling afraid to take the shot?  Understandable with all the news regarding the J&J vaccine...  here is a link to the CDC website explaining how the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines work.  Understanding how the body fights the virus may help ease fear.

In the interim...  mask up...  limit social interactions...  glide through the market and wash those germy hands 😷💕

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