Seared Pork Tenderloin, Roasted Corn, Roasted Potatoes, Baked Butternut Squash and Mocha Chocolate Icebox Cake

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

Weather perfection...  75°F virtually cloudless...  the Big Apple earned this day after yesterday’s temps...  folks perkier in the mild weather...  jaunty steps...  smiling faces...  neighbors out freshening up gardens after sagging in the heat...  sprinklers and hoses washing down wilted greenery...  birds reveling in fresh puddles left behind...  bathing...  sipping...  enjoying the day.


The hubs finishing up scrubbing the upper deck... light in color again and new looking...  waterproofing clear coat to be applied tomorrow.  Iced coffee ☕️ and a banana out on the deck...  Mr Sam snoozing on his carpet in the corner behind the kitchen door...   hubs enjoying his hot cup and mini wrap out on the deck...  sitting for a bit...  taking a break...  by late afternoon job completed!  Time for yours truly to hose down the greenhouse...  decking...  furniture and plants removing a fine layer of sawdust covering the area.  Looks terrific!  


Supper tonite...  pork tenderloin dry rubbed and seared in the cast iron...  along with roasted corn...  roasted potatoes and baked butternut squash.  Served alongside Grandma’s Iced Tea...  a family favorite...  combination of brewed Irish breakfast tea...  lemon juice and grape juice over ice...  sweet and sour...  perfectly refreshing!  Dessert...  Ina Garten’s Mocha Chocolate Icebox Cake...  sinfully delicious...  special plating for the hubs dessert 🥰


Covid infections are significantly down...  lowest rate in a year!  Vaccines work!  Not vaxxed yet?   Make that appointment and #GetYourJabOn  be part of the solution...  in the interim...   mask up...  fly through the market...  limit interactions and wash those germy hands 😷💕

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