Beef Stew & Beef Jerky

 Resurgence supper tonite…. Live from NYC…

Delightful days of autumn…  cool temps…  crisp afternoons…  bright sunshine…  crunching acorns underfoot…  leaves beginning changes…  open windows…  clean fresh air…  a joy to behold


Breakfast… iced coffee🧋and a banana 🍌 yogurt, toasted english muffin and  hot tea 🫖 for the hubs…  his tummy better after a day of upset.  Cool weather motivating a kitchen play day alongside chores…  laundry 🧺 beef stew 🥘 peach cranberry crisp 🥧 the perfect accompaniment to cool weather 


Time flying in the kitchen… chopping ingredients…  browning the meat… deglazing the pot…  enjoying the process… stresses of the week floating away…  cooking the barley 🌾 slicing peaches 🍑 for the crisp…  cooking and baking… some of the best therapy 


The hubs smoking project a great success… beef 🥩 round sliced 1/8” to 1/4” marinated overnight in soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, agave nectar, red pepper flake & brown sugar… smoked at 150°F for three hours then left to dry inside the smoker as it dropped to 100°F over the next hour… beef jerky perfection 😛


Supper tonite… beef stew with potatoes 🥔 and greens 🥬 served over barley 🌾 warming… delicious… tender… alongside a glass of Pinot Noir 🍷 

Peach cranberry crisp for dessert 🥧 and a very special treat… our son popped over for a visit on his way home… joined us for supper and took a serving home to our DIL… what a delight 😁🙃🥰


Covid booster jabs in full swing…  eligible? Make that appointment and #GetYourJabOn  Pfizer boosters available now… Moderna coming in the next couple of weeks… Americans so fortunate to have the ability to get a third dose while folks around the world 🌎 yearn for their vaccine 💉  how lucky we are to live here and have these life saving vaccines… no first dose yet?  Get busy!!  Mask up… limit interactions… sail through the market and wash those germy hands 💕😷

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