Roasted Half Chicken with Cauliflower au Gratin and Tomato, Cucumber, Red Onion, Avocado Salad

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

Mixed sun and clouds...  60’s...  watching a fledgling robin float from tree branch to neighbors rooftop flapping madly...  exercising muscles for future flights...  polly noses beginning to fall...  spinning...  sailing...  nose first to the earth...   will be pulling up volunteers in a week or two... oak trees have finally completed assailing our eyes with massive wind blown pollen...  currently their flowers lie in brown and gold piles at curb edges and along driveway rims where rain has flowed carrying them along.  


Iced coffee ☕️ and a banana...  the hubs enjoying his hot cup with oatmeal cinnamon and raisins...  chicken on tonites menu...  supper at the kids home with the in laws, my Mom and her sweet aide yesterday for Mother’s Day...   BIG MEAT 😂 it was delicious...  perfectly grilled and accompanied by empañadas...  potato salad...  garden salad...  butternut squash and yummy garlic bread.  Dessert a tiramisu that didn’t fully set made by yours truly 😕 but still tasted delicious.  Sent all the Mom’s home with a dozen truffles each 😋


Market and delivery to Mom’s today...  bringing her weekly groceries and goodies.  Spent some time chatting and sat with her while she ate part of her supper...  she so enjoyed seeing the family yesterday 🥰  then off to make our supper.  


Supper tonite...   spicy oven roasted half chicken...  baked cauliflower au gratin...  tomato cucumber red onion avocado salad with lime vinaigrette...  accompanied by the last of the Verdejo... delicious Spanish dry white wine...  will definitely buy again.  


With more than half of NYers at least partially inoculated against covid...  numbers of hospitalizations and deaths have dropped significantly allowing our city to re-open more each week...  seeing an end to the restrictions and limitations is light at the end of the tunnel for vaccinated folks.  Join the solution and #GetYourJabOn  no appointment needed at many locations...  until then...  you know what to do...  mask up... limit interactions...  speed through the market and wash those germy hands 😷💕

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