Weeknight Bolognese over Penne… Pinot Noir Rosé… Arugula and Zucchini Salad and Garlic Bread

 Restorations supper tonite…. Live from NYC…

Muggy…  mid 80’s…  thin film of haze over the Big Apple 🍎 smoke from the western wildfires caught in the jet stream… filling the skies over the northeast with a light smokey film 😟  worried about our western friends and their safety 🥺 so many folks at risk 😳


Iced coffee 🧋and a quick granola bar… the hubs enjoying oatmeal and hot tea 🫖… zipping out the door to visit Mom in rehab… Sunday her day off from therapies… a chance to rest up for the week ahead and socialize.  Brought the hubs…  her grandson and his other half visiting as well…  her happy personality returned… speaking normally without raspiness or running out of breath…  eyes bright… sitting up in a chair fully dressed in her own clothes…  smiling… pleased to see each of us… visiting one at a time 🥰


Brought four more pairs of work out pants… glasses… a puzzle book and pencil… hung up her clothes… fixed her hair… asked the nurse to have her doctor clear her for a full shower… feeling so relieved to see her happier and on the mend ❤️‍🩹 


Got home at a reasonable time… put together a quick supper…  enjoyed it with friends… so important to relax and take the mind off medical issues for a bit…. Pasta with weeknight bolognese… made with ground turkey over penne… garlic bread… arugula and zucchini salad with purple onion and balsamic vinaigrette… a delightful rosé from Pinot Noir grapes brought by our sweet guests… crisp and dry…  as the empty bottle attests… Belgian chocolate and coffee chip gelato for dessert… also brought by our guests… loads of laughs and a fun evening rounding out a terrific weekend 🥰


Covid infections up in all 50 states… delta variant dominating… CDC director warning delta much more virulent and highly infectious…  current infections and hospitalization rising almost exclusively among the unvaccinated… so sad and unnecessary…. PLEASE folks… don’t make the post name change to Resurgence Supper Tonite (thanks Beth) make that appointment and #GetYourJabOn  be brave…  be part of the solution… in the interim… mask up… limit interactions… hustle through the market and wash those germy hands 😷💕

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