Memorial Day BBQ - Grilled Chicken & Steak with Butternut Squash & Corn and Avocado Tomato Cucumber Romaine Salad

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

FINALLY!!  The rain stopped...  clouds parting...  allowing blue skies to peek though...  breeze feeling cool on the skin...   birds returning en masse to celebrate...  a pair have built a nest on our exterior light fixture...  it will remain until they’ve fledged...  not sure which birds have chosen the spot yet...  will find out soon...  excited to have tenants 🐦 


Iced coffee 🧋and a banana out on the deck...  Mr Sam stretched out in the sun...  the hubs enjoying his hot cup with oatmeal a swirl of strawberry preserves and banana...  quick chance to chat and relax before it’s time to set up for our Memorial Day barbecue...  the deluge of rain left the deck  table and chairs sparkling clean...  one less chore to attend to. 


Sat outside for a bit with company... by supper time chilly temps drove us  indoors to eat...  grilled spatchcocked chicken...  grilled steak...  rare please...  roasted corn with olive oil salt and pepper...  baked butternut squash crescent moons with cinnamon...  avocado tomato scallion salad on a bed of romaine with lime vinaigrette...  a delicious Chilean Cabernet accompanying the meal.  Dessert...  petit pastries brought by our guests...  delightful fruit tartlets...  mini eclairs...  coffee, espresso and tea ☕️ a delightful evening with vaccinated family to remember & celebrate our nations freedom because of those who gave their all. 


Not vaxxed yet?  Make that appointment and #GetYourJabOn  be part of the solution...  in the interim...  mask up...  limit interactions...  speed through the market and wash those germy hands 😄💕

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