Resurgence supper tonite…. Live from NYC…
Decent weather for the autumnal equinox… mid 70’s on the thermometer… humidity inching up… still comfortable on the skin… squirrels 🐿 back in action… hanging from tree branches… upside down… nibbling acorns… scurrying back to the nest… on repeat for much of the day… storing nuts in every available nook and cranny for the coming cold months 🥶
Breakfast iced coffee🧋& a granola bar… the hubs cottage cheese and banana 🍌 alongside his hot cup ☕️ off to visit Mom… pretty in pink… matching pants and top… big smile… Wednesday Mom’s haircutter is arriving… she vacationed in Spain with family for the summer… Mom is thrilled for her upcoming coiffure 🥰
Supper tonite… a fun filled evening of wine pairings and delicious plates at Ruth’s Chris… enjoyed ourselves immensely with Mark, Andrea, Jesse and Elena… from the amuse bouche to the dessert… a fabulous culinary adventure… wines from Chateau Montelena… a Napa vintner…
Amuse bouche…. Ahi tuna poké with cilantro oil paired with a crisp dry Reisling…
Appetizer… Chicken thighs confit with braised fennel paired with a complex Chardonnay…
Pork course… stuffed pork tenderloin roulade with cherry demi glacé paired with a dry Zinfandel…
Main… filet mignon, roasted potatoes, green beans & fried onions in mushroom sauce paired with a hearty Cabernet…
Dessert… almond cake with chantillí cream served with coffee and tea…
A delicious exploration of Chateau Montelena along with pairings by Ruth’s Chris 😋🍷
Both of us noticed the smaller group gathered for this wine tasting menu… approximately half the usual complement… tables spaced farther apart… servers all masked… guests masked prior to seating as well… air noticeably circulating more rapidly… pleased to see the restaurant taking proper covid precautions for their and our safety 🥰
Delta variant still a major risk as schools reopen… United Nations back in session these two weeks… loads of diplomats, families and staff arriving from all parts of the world in NYC for the event… not vaxxed yet? This is the time to #GetYourJabOn Virus’ don’t respect state borders… Mom is getting her booster next week… mask up..l limit interactions… fly through the market and wash those germy hands 💕😷
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
