Shrimp Salad with NYC Bagel & Melted Provolone... Watermelon Slices

 Restoration supper tonite...  Live from NYC...

Hot times in the City...  high 80’s and humid...  sticky day...  started with sun and a light breeze... ended with thundershowers and desperately needed rain...  caught a shot of the pair of cardinals new boy sitting atop the neighbors dish...  bright red plumage just dazzling in the sun...  song stronger and more complex today...  somewhere in the neighbors yard there is a morning dove nest...  haven’t spotted her yet but hear her cooing each morning...  such a soothing sound.  No squirrel yet...  waiting to see her youngsters soon as she’s ready. 


Iced coffee 🧋and a banana 🍌 out on the deck today...  Mr Sam relaxing under a chair in the shade...  the hubs enjoying oatmeal and raisins with his banana 🍌 and hot java...  then disappearing into his workshop for his latest project...  fixing Mom’s dryer.  Tried doing it at her place, but no room to work and insufficient tools...  so brought it home to disassemble and analyze.  Today he did just that and ordered the needed part... new bearings...  to me... a jumble of wires... clueless... he is amazing at repairing!  


Spent the day finishing the filing and shredding from tax season...   this years bills and paperwork in...   2019 paperwork out...  tax records saved for more than 7 years shredded as well.  It’s wonderful to finally finish 🙃 and have the office desk back in its usual chaotic order 😂 scattered with reminders...  calendar...  client files...  bills and the like.  Enjoyed a few precious moments in the greenhouse checking on the babies... making sure all are watered...  Finished up appointments just as the skies opened up...  scooting Mr Sam indoors just in time.  


Supper tonite...  shrimp salad with celery red onion and a mayonnaise dijon mustard and lemon juice dressing...  topped with celery leaves and parsley...  served alongside a toasted NYC bagel with provolone melted into the nooks and crannies...  delicious...  watermelon slices for dessert... special thanks to Silvia Rubiales Bussell for the idea of watermelon sticks... worked like a charm... easy to eat and juicy! 


The City that never sleeps is back on insomnia mode once again...  subways back on 24 hour service...  restaurants at full capacity...  theatres opening...  movies making a come back...  museums reopening...  life returning to the Big Apple 🍎 Vaccines work!  Not vaxxed yet?  Make that appointment and #GetYourJabOn  until then...  mask up...  limit interactions...  gallop through the market and wash those germy hands 😷💕

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