Gyoza… Black Lentil Soup… Tomato Cucumber Olive Red Onion Salad with Fresh Mozzarella and Pork Chops

 Vaccinated supper tonite… Live from NYC…

Another day here in the Big Chilly Apple…  thermometer 🌡 topping out near 40°F mid afternoon…  falling off a cliff tonite… expecting a low of 15°F…  aaaaack… deep winter is upon us…  a mere 17 days until the end of the Persephone phase when we will enjoy 10 hours of sunlight once again.   Have you noticed the days lengthening?  Just a couple of weeks ago it was DARK at 4:30 pm 😩 in just a few short months it will be light out until after 9pm once again… aaaaahhh ☺️


Breakfast… hot java ☕️ and cottage cheese for the hubs…  feeling adventurous with an iced coffee🧋at the desk surrounded by five windows 🪟 sun streaming in… easy to forget that baby it’s cold outside!! A few munster cubes to munch 😋


Spent the day unfolding the 10’X13’ Persian rug we had shipped from Tucson…  arriving in pristine condition…  padding and all…  including one well preserved dead beetle…   who has now been added to the NYC sewer system…  with dignity and flair…   rug and padding now gracing our living room floor atop the oriental already there…   need to figure out where to relocate one of the two rugs?  That conundrum waits for another day 🤔


Supper last night including an appetizer of leek and potato gyoza dumplings… delicious… along with leftovers from the weeks cooking… fridge clean out suppers can be such fun!


Tonites supper…  black lentil soup…  incredibly warming…  tomato olive cucumber red onion salad with fresh mozzarella and balsamic glaze…  humongous bone in pork chops with mustard bread crumb dressing…  hubs enjoying the chops after a hard days work moving furniture to accommodate the new carpet 


Covid cases on the decline here in NYC… seeming to indicate our surge has peaked… hoping…  although across the US cases continue to spike inundating hospitals and health care systems #GetYourJabOn  don’t risk your health… majority of vaccinated folks experiencing infection as a cold… unvaxxed often requiring hospitalization…  mask up… limit interactions… gallop through the market and wash those germy hands 😷💕

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