Ground Turkey with Roasted Tomatoes and Eggplant & Shell Pasta with Wedge Salad

 Vaccinated supper tonite… Live from NYC…

Bright sunny morning… light breeze… cool temps in the high 30’s… clouds accumulating through the day… tonite comes the snow… wind… and deep cold… at this moment… so quiet… the snow has just begun…  few cars… no one about… just a steady stream of flakes wafting to the ground 


Breakfast… coffee ☕️ for two… mini turkey wraps… one to go… off to the market to shop for Mom… a few odds and ends for us…  couple of 5 lbs for $2 bags of goodies… plantains… tomatoes and lettuce…  rainbow carrots and eggplant…  stocking Mom up before the snow tonite…  she is healthy… a bit frustrated as there is an outbreak of omicron in her complex canceling all activities 😳🙁


Supper tonite…  produce goodies informing meal prep…  roasting the fresh tomatoes… eggplant…  sautéing ground turkey… adding in a few ounces of shell pasta… a little wine… salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, red pepper flake… loving that little poke of heat…  the lettuce cut into quarters for a wedge salad with tomato and Bleu cheese dressing… a little more wine…  adjusting the seasonings after adding in the roasted tomatoes and eggplant… a bit more wine and voilá supper is served 🥂


This first three covid surges of types alpha, beta (UK variant) and delta were frightening as folks got quite ill and many passed away…  we knew many  who caught the virus…  a few passed…  some became very ill but eventually recovered 🦠 However…  nothing prepared us for the level of contagion of omicron… it has spread like wildfire through our community…  many have become quite ill… a few unvaxxed hospitalized… several contracting covid and the flu simultaneously  #GetYourJabOn  folks… get boosted…  this is coming to your  town…  your neighborhood…  your family…  protect your loved ones…  listen to the science…  mask up…  limit interactions…  skate through the market and wash those germy hands 😷💕

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