Grilled Spicy Chicken Skewers… Caprese Salad… Green Salad and Cantaloupe

 Restoration supper tonite… Live from NYC…

Mild temps… low humidity… a welcome break from the typical NYC summer weather schedule…  perfect day for being outdoors… local squirrel contingent apparently agreeing… chasing one another up and down the trees in earnest foreplay.   Robins and sparrows enjoying dust baths at the bottom of the drive… a lone hawk circling overhead on rising currents. 


Iced coffee🧋and a granola bar to go… dropped the hubs off at PT… dashing out to spend a couple of hours with Mom at rehab… hubby feeling well enough to walk the mile home after his workout.  Mom all smiles today post therapies wide awake and chatty.  Walked the length of the gym in PT & was excited to share… had an appetite for supper… ate on her own with minimal assistance…  minimal hiccup… an itchy red rash being dealt with by the MD’s… other than that recovery going well… feeling hopeful and relieved.


Spent time in the greenhouse over the past two days… feeding the babies… thinning dead branches and leaves from the undersides of tomato plants as they grow up and out the vent and across the roof…  cucumbers growing tendrils atop one another… many flowers appearing on both as the mature plants begin to fruit…  Mr Sam ever trying to get inside the greenhouse… wanting to munch leaves and nibble… disappointed as the screen door closes without his success he flops down on the warm deck boards to stretch out in the shade. 


Supper over the past two days… caprese salad with balsamic and olive oil… spicy grilled chicken skewers… garlic and cheese sausage ring… crisp green salad… sliced cantaloupe with spearmint… rosemary and olive oil focaccia and a crisp Sauvignon Blanc from Melbourne… delicious 😋 


Unvaccinated folks now becoming the victims of a relentless surge in covid… the delta variant sickening younger folks faster and more seriously than ever… be brave… make that appointment and #GetYourJabOn  

France now requiring proof of vaccination for attendance at most public events, restaurants, bars, theaters, museums… the covid rapid and antigen test no longer free of charge to its citizens… NYC following suit with requirements falling into place for health care workers is just the beginning… please folks… make the decision to be proactive… don’t get left behind… mask up… limit public interactions… glide through the market and wash those germy hands 😷💕

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