Variantes supper tonite… Live from NYC…
Arctic blast returning with fury… temps dipping down to 23°F… blustery wind gusts topping 35 mph… forget real feels… stepping outside feeling disappears within moments… mostly cloudy not helping… few breaks of sun for warmth ☀️ Squirrels 🐿 hiding… too cold for nibbles… birds out pecking at seeds on lawns… few flowers surviving the deep freeze… couple of daffodils that bloomed early succumbing to the cold 🥶
Breakfast for three… kibble with a side of whey for Mr Sam… cottage cheese and berries for the hubs along with hot java ☕️ Iced coffee🧋(yes, even when it’s 23°F) and an orange 🍊
Yesterday afternoon… wrapped the greenhouse radish, snap pea and turnip seedlings with a heat lamp and vinyl tablecloth supported on chicken wire to keep the babies warm during the cold snap… they’re about  12°F warmer than outside temps… just enough heat to keep them from freezing 🪴 
Paperwork and laundry 🧺 day… too cold for any outside activities… managed to get a bit of sun in the office during a break in the clouds ☁️
By 5 pm had enough… time to play in the kitchen 😁
Perfect day for leftover chicken vegetable soup for supper… adding in turkey meatballs… warming and filling... making a quick rising dough for herby breadsticks to complement the soup… so chilly today… first rising of the dough in a slightly warmed oven… after shaping did the second rising above the cast iron radiator in the dining room and kitchen… worked like a charm… served alongside a glass of Vinho Verde 🥂 Decaf coffee ☕️ for the hubs with a chocolate for dessert 🍫
The war in Ukraine displacing over 3.5 million creating a humanitarian crisis… our hearts are broken 💔 We desperately hope for a peaceful resolutions amidst the chaos #peaceforukraine
BA2 continuing to slowly spread in the NYC area now accounting for almost half of new infections… excellent time to #GetYourJabOn and practice self care… mask up when needed… and wash those germy hands 😷💕
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
