Grilled Chicke Thighs, String Bean Salad, Grilled Pita, Pineapple & Evening Fire

 Resurgence supper tonite…. live from NYC…

Weekend weather… a tale of opposites… Saturday…  warm… humid… sticky… Sunday…  cool…  pleasant… crisp… haven’t seen many squirrels 🐿 lately… acorns almost ripe…  no empty shells on the deck rail yet… minimal digging in the planters…  birds plentiful… sparrows chirping… mockingbirds squawking…  robins and cardinals singing… 


Lazy Sunday… slept in… late brunch…  iced coffee🧋and a banana out on the deck… the hubs enjoying his hot cup ☕️ with eggs and toast…  Mr Sam lounging on the warm boards… basking… spent time chatting with the Florida contingent… haven’t visited in a long while…  covid concerns…


Saturday fun day… attended a small reception (all vaxxed) for dear friends who married during the covid lockdown…  gorgeous venue at family on the Jersey coast… delicious food… shrimp cocktail… chicken française… penne a la vodka… string beans almandine… baked penne bolognese… meatballs… potato croquettes… crisp green salad… lots of Prosecco… spirits… wine… beer… evil scrumptious pastries… cannoli… sfogliatella…  napoleon… mini tarts… eclairs… mouth watering…  but most importantly a wonderful time with people we love ❤️


Sunday… greenhouse day…  trimming tomatoes 🍅 staking peppers 🫑 watering fall crops… sweeping and cleaning out dead leaves and stems…  making room for fall crops 👩🏻‍🌾🌾 hubs finding a teeny rosemary flower 🌸 


Family night… out on the deck…  till the mosquitoes 🦟 attacked… dinner inside…  bbq chicken 🍗 thighs… string bean, corn, artichoke heart, tomato and olive salad… green salad… grilled pita…  evening fire on the deck in the fire pit…  smoke eliminating the little buggers…  dessert… sliced pineapple 🍍coffee ☕️ Mr Sam enjoying the evening alongside…  nibbling bits of chicken… feeling more perky as his throat improves 😻😽


Covid delta variant has once again struck close to home… two of the hubs granddaughters in Florida now recovered from their bout with the virus 🦠 Please folks #GetYourJabOn  avoid suffering needlessly… mask up… limit interactions… glide through the market and wash those germy hands 💕😷

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