Grilled Spatchcocked Chicken, Green Salad, Grilled Turnips and Fennel, Rosemary Focaccia & Cubed Watermelon and Blueberries

 Restoration supper tonite… Live from NYC…

Spectacular day… low humidity… temps in the around 80… bright sunshine… happy to be outdoors… birds celebrating with chirps, twitters, squawks, songs and caws… a cacophony of music for the soul.  


Iced coffee 🧋and a banana to go… packed up the hubs… lunch… and scooted off to visit with Mom in rehab…. perky and smiling we wheeled her  onto a flowery terrace for a relaxing afternoon outdoors in the mild air.  Chatting and enjoying the warmth of the afternoon… she was pleased and refreshed. 


Coming back home to spend some time with the babies in the greenhouse… watering… checking stems and roots… making sure all are happy and healthy… thriving in their safe space… Mr Sam nosing the basil leaves… munching trailing spearmint stems… finally getting booted as the screen door snaps into place. 


Supper tonite… grilled spatchcocked chicken… turnips and fennel with olive oil salt and pepper in a foil packet… grilled until softened…  some of the rosemary focaccia… warmed on the grates… crisp green salad with the last of the creamy garlic dressing… cubed watermelon with blueberries… a glass of Cabernet for him and Sauvignon Blanc for yours truly. Too full for dessert… thoug we had planned to go out for coffee… another time 🙃


Covid is climbing back into daily life once again… surging among the unvaccinated… the Delta variant even more contagious and virulent than originally thought…. Please folks… be brave… make that appointment and #GetYourJabOn  I hate needles too… but dislike being sick as a dog even more… mask up… limit interactions… trot through the market and wash those germy hands 😷💕

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