Turkey Schnitzel, Cucumber Salad, Napa Cabbage Slaw & Pickled Veggies

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

Yin and yang  ☯️  balance...  the past two days lovely weather balanced today with clouds and rain...  on the plus side the lawn looks thicker and healthier than it has in years...  the layer of bright green dust...  tree pollen...  washing away...  birds enjoying a bath in the everlasting dip at the bottom of the driveway where water puddles...  Mr Sam sitting by the back door eagerly watching as the rain comes down in earnest...  snug on his rug.


Coffee ☕️ and oatmeal with raisins and cinnamon for the hubs... iced java for yours truly...  sneaking another day away from the grind of tax season...  the hubs spending a bit of time in his workshop... off to the market...  list in tow...  mask on...  hand sanitizer in the jacket pocket...  reusable tote bags in hand.


Perfect timing...  relatively slow at 4pm...  working folks not home yet...  others prepping supper...  first stop...  the $2 bagged 5 lb produce shelf...  today’s haul for $4...  one large cauliflower...  2 heads of Napa cabbage...  and a bakers dozen cucumbers.  A short sprint through the store...  zipping home to prepare supper. 


With 5 lbs of cucumbers... time to haul out the mandolin and get busy slicing...  pickled cucumber 🥒 red onion and carrots 🥕 into mason jars and the fridge to cure...  cucumber salad with sour cream and dill...  napa  cabbage slaw with parsley...  turkey schnitzel...  baked butternut squash rounds with cinnamon...  alongside... a glass of Line 39 Cabernet 🍷 to accompany the meal...   decaf coffee and a Milano cookie for the hubs...   Mr Sam enjoying the turkey as well.   


63% of American adults now fully vaccinated...  time to make that appointment and #GetYourJabOn  many vaccination 💉 centers now accepting walk-ins as well...  significant benefits available to those who are vaccinated...  be part of the solution...  until then...  mask up...  limit interactions...  scoot through the market and wash those germy hands 😷💕

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