Beef Stew Redux with Chopped Romaine… Tomato Cucumber Avocado Salad & Whole Wheat Pita

 Vaccinated supper tonite… Live from NYC…

Almost balmy in the Big Soggy Apple 🍎 post 8 hours of driving rain last night… thermometer 🌡 scrambling to 40°F after the deep bone chilling cold of the past days…  squirrels back out… hungrily munching acorns 🌰 birds chattering in the trees… glimmers of life returning once again 🐿 


Breakfast delayed… blood draws requiring fasting early on… stopping at the market for a few bits and bobs…  finally back home for that delightful coffee ☕️ and snack… SCORE!!  Lucky day in the produce aisle… 5 lbs for $2 bags of tomatoes 🍅 romaine 🥬 cucumbers 🥒 oranges 🍊& acorn squash…  recreating our supper menu to utilize the bounty


Supper tonite…  remaining beef stew with chopped romaine leaves over extra wide egg noodles…  tomato 🍅 avocado 🥑 cucumber 🥒 red onion 🧅 salad with hydroponic basil and mustard & black olive tapenade vinaigrette… served along side whole wheat pita bread and a glass of Line 39 Sauvignon Blanc 🥂 Delightfully warming 


Spent a little time online…. ordering dark rye flour and vital gluten flour… aiming to make some Dark Russian Pumpernickel when it all arrives in a couple of weeks… fingers crossed 🤞 that it’s delicious 😋 


Covid cases declining in NYC… new cases almost 50% lower than last week… fingers crossed for the trend to continue…  unvaxxed accounting for virtually all hospitalizations #GetYourJabOn  your health is irreplaceable… mask up… limit interactions… fly through the market and wash those germy hands 😷💕

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