Shell Pasta with Tomatoes, Onions, Artichokes and Olives in Wine Pepper Cream Sauce

 Vaccinated supper tonite… Live from NYC…

Temps in the mid 50’s today…  taste of spring…  squirrels 🐿 birds 🐦 all out in force enjoying a bit of bliss during this delightful warm up…  lots of tiny round holes in the lawn as squirrels dig for nuts 🌰 Did you know that squirrels can smell a buried acorn?  They don’t recall where they bury them they just dig up any they sniff out…  amazing little noses 👃 Bird feet can tolerate cold all the way down to freezing temps…  imagine what kind of chill that would give one of us 🦶 


Breakfast… coffee for two ☕️ 🧋the hubs enjoying his with oatmeal and blueberries 🫐  a banana 🍌 for yours truly…  spent a couple of hours straightening up and cleaning the house… not our favorite chore 😩 Hubs taking a long walk… good for his knee… while bills were finalized… calls were made…  Time for the hubs lunch already?  Mini wrap… green apple 🍏 mozzarella stick and lots of water 💦 


Spent some time in the greenhouse tending to rosemary and thyme… a few parsley sprigs that survived the cold… gave everyone a good watering… looking forward to planting seeds in the days ahead… love watching them sprout 🌱 


Supper tonite… shell pasta with tomatoes 🍅 onions 🧅  chopped black olives and artichoke hearts in a pepper wine and cream sauce…  delightful…  enjoyed with a glass of Vinho Verde 🥂 Meatballs for the hubs alongside…  he’s not a fan of meatless meals 🥺  Ice cream for dessert… vanilla for the hubs… coffee for yours truly 🍦


Covid infections in the northeast declining significantly in the past month… our area in particular doing well… over 85% vaccination rate in our zip code…  an excellent time to #GetYourJabOn  as the virus lessens its grip…  meanwhile… mask up… limit exposure… fly through the market and wash those germy hands 💕😷

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