Baked Rotini with Ricotta and Parmesan… Cucumber Salad… Hydroponic Lettuce Salad and Christmas Cactus Blooms

 Vaccinated supper tonite… Live from NYC…

Restful day… gray skies… transitioning to drizzle… sleeping in… catching up on all the zzzz’s missed during the run up to Xmas… so enjoyed all the baking and cooking… spending six to eight hours playing in the kitchen daily…  creating goodies for the family and a few choice friends…  a few remaining items to complete… one more roll of dough for the Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chippers…  one pumpkin cranberry orange bread to finish baking…  and a chocolate chip pandoro bread pudding for New Years 😋🙃


Late breakfast… coffee for two bleary eyes folks ☕️ his hot with oatmeal banana and blueberries…  iced🧋for you know who with a dish of peanuts to munch…  the hubs off to his workshop trying out a wood carving set… time to get back to work!!  Phone calls…  appointments…  and the endless paperwork…  by sundown couldn’t wait to get into the kitchen and  play! 


One bright spot so cheery… gorgeous blooms on the Christmas Cactus… bright pink amidst the gloom of the day 🌸 


Supper tonite…  baked rotini with homemade tomato sauce…  ricotta cheese blend…  topped with shredded mozzarella and Parmesan…  cucumber salad with red onion and sour cream dressing… refreshing…  lettuce salad from the hubs hydroponic garden…  it’s amazing…  this is the eighth time we have eaten from the same lettuce plants… such tender leaves… so delicious… much more flavorful than store bought 🥬


Omicron spreading like wildfire here in the Big Apple 🍎 and across the US… testing in NYC at all time highs…. give your family the best gift #GetYourJabOn  and get boosted too… meanwhile… mask up… limit interactions… sail through the market and wash those germy hands 😷💕

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