Greek Eggplant Stew with Kalamata Olives and Turkey Mealballs

 Resurgence supper tonite… Live from NYC…

The Big Apple 🍎 still in the grips of summer… hazy… hot… humid…. 85°F humidity in the sticky range…  major adjustment…  Colorado  humidity… about 10%…. overhead blue skies sporting a light cover of haze… western wildfires smoke making its way across the country…  


Iced coffee🧋and a banana 🍌 the hubs off early to see the orthopedic surgeon… excellent report… about 75% of strength returning… expecting 90% by one year anniversary…  continuing physical therapy… hot java and mini wrap brunch easing hunger pangs…


Stopped off to see Mom yesterday afternoon… her childhood friend since 3 years old (and daughter) from Pennsylvania arriving late afternoon… just in time for supper…  brought over delicious food from a local Italian restaurant… veal piccata… chicken piccata… eggplant parmigiana…  chicken marsala… linguini with white clam sauce… tortellini in olive oil with black pepper and parmesan… beautiful loaf of semolina bread 🥖 and extra parmesan for sprinkling…  didn’t have a chance to catch up with all the company… she was so pleased to see her dear friend… 


Visiting Mom again today… spent a couple of hours catching up… viewing old photographs we found in Colorado… chatting… enjoying a relaxing afternoon… she is stable…  adjusting to her new normal… ready to once again participate in fun games of bridge on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays…


Supper tonight… Greek Eggplant Stew with kalamata  olives and fresh tomatoes… turkey meatballs served atop… light and delicious after yesterday 🥘 a glass of Sauvignon Blanc rounding out the meal… dessert… chocolate chip cookies 🍪 one for each…  the hubs enjoying his hot tea 🫖 


Movie night 🎥  RENT… one of our favorites… a moving musical depicting the ravages of AIDS in NYC in the 1980’s with Rosario Dawson, Idina Mendel & Taye Diggs in the musical by Jonathan Larson… worth watching 


Per the CDC… more than 650,000 souls have been lost to covid… over 175,000 since the vaccines have been available… how terribly sad to die from a disease that has a vaccine 💉 available which saves lives… 

Make that appointment and #GetYourJabOn  why not?? 

Mask up…  limit physical interactions… sail through the market and wash those germy hands 💕😷

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