Penne with Chicken and Marbled Banana Bread

 Restoration supper tonite…. Live from NYC… 

Mild temps today with low humidity… comfortable day… haven’t seen our squirrel in a few days… wondering if she’s having her second litter about this time… more little mouths to feed… loads of birds about… lots of chirps and songs overhead… a musical cacophony to feed the soul.


Iced coffee🧋out on the deck… the hubs scarfing down his cottage cheese and blueberries 🫐 before zooming off to meet Mom for family training.  Spent the day catching up on paperwork  (it never ends)  phone calls delayed  📞 appointments to schedule 📅 bills to pay 💰 all the stuff of daily life put on hold during times of emergency 🆘 


Late afternoon finally some me time… baked Smitten Kitchen’s Marbled Banana Bread… one of our favorites… sorely needing a treat these days… didn’t have three bananas 🍌 so added two bananas and the meat from three very ripe peaches… came out superb 😋 chocolatey… with notes of banana… vanilla… peach and of course… chocolate… with extra chips inside 😛


The hubs ate with Mom… she enjoyes company for supper… pork loin… yam… beets… cake and coffee… rehab feeds guests well on family training days.   Made penne with the last of the leftover spatchcocked chicken diced on top dressed with olive oil Parmesan and black pepper…  quick and tasty 🍝


You’ve certainly noticed the name change… covid is no longer easing back in the US… it is surging in more than two thirds of the states… majority of new cases delta variant…  almost exclusively among the unvaccinated… time to make that appointment and #GetYourJabOn… mask up folks… limit public interactions… sail through the market and wash those germy hands 💕😷

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