NOLA Red Beans and Rice

 Restoration supper tonite… Live from NYC…

Perfect weather… today was THAT day… temps just below 80°F… low humidity… light breeze… such a relief from the days of 90°F+…  so many different bird songs…  in addition to the usual chorus of robins, cardinals, mockingbirds and sparrows… a mourning dove spent the day on the roof peak… cooing… such a gentle sound… she stayed until late afternoon then flew off into the horizon…  squirrel activity has been light… spotted a couple of juveniles with their characteristic short hops…  possibly curtailed by the local hawk and falcon families? 


Iced coffee 🧋and a banana 🍌 out on the deck… the hubs enjoying his cottage cheese and mixed berries with green tea 🍵 Mr Sam spent the early afternoon snoozing 💤 on his mat inside… finally making his way out onto the deck by cocktail hour…  work absorbing much of the day while the hubs spent time disassembling the washing machine for a tune up 👨🏻‍🔧


Supper tonite… one of our favorites…  red beans and rice with andouille and tasso…  a delightful reminder of our culinary adventures to New Orleans… must schedule another one soon 😋


Covid delta variant is fast becoming the dominant strain here in the US… 60% more contagious and more virulent… it seeks out unvaccinated folks…  if you aren’t vaxxed yet please consider making it a priority… some states vaccination rates still remain below 40%… this worries scientists that another surge might occur in the fall… make that appointment and #GetYourJabOn  take care of yourself and your family… until then… mask up… limit interactions… fly through the market and wash those germy hands 😄💕

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