Penne with Roasted Tomatoes, Roasted Eggplant, Shredded Chicken, Parsley and Romano

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

Bright sun with accumulating clouds as afternoon progressed...  low 60’s...  too chilly for jacketless outings...  neighbors out chatting over fences...  kids riding bikes...  skateboards...  taking their basketballs 🏀 to the local playground...  trees adorned with baby leaves just beginning to fill out...  robins...  sparrows...  mockingbirds...  starlings...  all chirping and whistling in the branches.  


Iced coffee ☕️ and a banana... the hubs enjoying his hot java with oatmeal a banana and blueberries...  a few moments to relax before taking the hubs to PT.  Finishing up the last few tax return prior to the BIG day ahead...  final copies to be reviewed for submission.  Picked the hubs up from PT...  lunch time...  turkey and salami mini rolls with endive black pepper and a little mayonnaise...  just enough to hold us till supper.


Supper tonite...  a melange of leftover shredded chicken breast...  roasted eggplant seasoned with salt pepper & olive oil... a splash of balsamic out of the oven...  roasted fresh tomatoes...  seasoned with olive oil salt and pepper...  poured...  liquid renderings and all...  over al dente penne then tossed with freshly grated Romano cheese and fresh chopped parsley to finish.  Bright fresh flavors accented with a glass of Line 39 Cabernet 🍷  


Covid infections have declined substantially in NYC since the implementation of vaccines...  such a bright light at the end of a very long and dark tunnel...  be part of the solution...  make it to one of the vaccine centers and #GetYourJabOn  until then you know what to do...  mask up...  limit interactions...   glide through the market and wash those germy hands 😷💕

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